What is IOP?
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a treatment option for people who require more support than regular outpatient therapy but do not need round-the-clock supervision. IOP is designed to accommodate the patient’s daily responsibilities like work, school, or family, making it a flexible option for those who need structured treatment while continuing with their daily activities.
How does it work?
IOP typically involves attending therapy sessions several days per week, for multiple hours each day, usually totaling 9 to 20 hours per week. The specific structure can vary, but the focus is on intensive therapy that includes both group and individual sessions.
