About Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for Addiction
Intensive outpatient treatment programs help people with substance use problems who don’t need full-time care. These programs offer care after someone completes detoxification or finishes a more intensive program like inpatient programs or residential treatment.
As a step-down from that initial higher level of care, IOPs focus on helping you stay sober and manage challenges after leaving structured treatment.
Unlike inpatient treatment, IOPs at Harmony Treatment and Wellness give you more freedom but still offer support to keep you on track.
Benefits of IOPs for People in Addiction Recovery
IOPs offer a balanced approach to addiction recovery, allowing you to rebuild your life while receiving ongoing support.
In an IOP, you can live at home or in a sober living environment, continuing to work or attend school. Your day will include treatment sessions that fit into your schedule, like morning or evening group therapy sessions. These sessions focus on helping you manage triggers, avoid relapse, and build coping skills.
You’ll receive individualized therapy and participate in various therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, art therapy, and yoga. Family therapy helps repair relationships, while life-skills training and employment support help you transition into a productive routine.
IOPs offer a holistic approach to recovery, helping you reintegrate into daily life while staying focused on recovery.
What Treatments Are Offered in Harmony Treatment and Wellness IOPs?
Through our IOPs, we offer a range of therapies designed to address substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Each treatment is tailored to fit your unique needs and provide ongoing support as you reintegrate into daily life.
Our IOPs offer flexible scheduling, with both day and evening programs available. This flexibility allows you to continue managing personal, professional, or educational responsibilities while still receiving the treatment you need.
You can choose a program that works best for your schedule, making recovery more accessible without disrupting your daily routine.
Behavioral therapies are central to our IOP. These are therapies that help address the root behavioral health and mental health issues that can feed addiction. You’ll gain the skills needed to manage triggers, improve emotional well-being, and build stronger relationships.
A combination of therapies provides structure and support from all sides. For example, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps you recognize and change harmful thoughts and behaviors linked to addiction.
Meanwhile, group therapy allows you to connect with others who share similar struggles, while individual therapy offers a personalized approach to your recovery. Family therapy is also available to strengthen relationships affected by substance abuse.
Our trauma-informed approach ensures that therapy addresses any past trauma that might be contributing to your addiction.
Trauma-informed care (TIC) prioritizes safety and trust in the treatment process, helping you work through trauma in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. This type of therapy helps reduce triggers and improve emotional well-being, allowing for more effective treatment and recovery.
As well as traditional therapies, we offer several complementary therapies to support your emotional healing and stress reduction, including:
- Art therapy: This creative therapy allows you to express emotions through visual art, helping you process feelings that may be difficult to verbalize.
- Music therapy: Using music as a therapeutic tool, you can explore your emotions and improve mental health.
- Yoga and meditation: These mindfulness practices help reduce stress and improve emotional regulation, relaxation, and mental clarity.
- Equine therapy: Working with horses can help build trust, improve emotional awareness, and develop healthy communication skills.
- Adventure therapy: This therapy incorporates outdoor activities, like hiking or team-building exercises, to promote confidence, resilience, and personal growth.
- Biofeedback therapy: Biofeedback uses technology to monitor physiological responses, such as heart rate and muscle tension. You’ll learn how to control these responses and reduce stress or anxiety.
We provide relapse-prevention education and coping strategies training, teaching you how to manage stressors and triggers that could lead to substance use.
Life-skills training, such as time management and decision-making, equips you with the tools needed to navigate daily life confidently and maintain sobriety.D
At Harmony Treatment and Wellness, our case management support helps coordinate your recovery by connecting you with medical, social, and community resources.
Your case manager works with you to set recovery goals and tackle issues like housing or employment. This personalized support ensures your needs are met, making it easier to stay engaged and on track.
Our IOP offers vocational services to help you return to work or school. We provide job training, connect you with local resources, and offer legal assistance if needed.
Whether you’re looking for new opportunities or overcoming barriers, we support your career goals as part of your recovery.
Our 12-step facilitation and spiritual support groups help you on your recovery journey, focusing on honesty, acceptance, and accountability, providing a strong support network.
Through activities like meetings, journaling, mindfulness, and guided reading, you’ll learn to address the effects of addiction and foster personal growth.
The spiritual aspect of these programs encourages self-reflection and helps build a foundation for long-term recovery, both emotionally and spiritually.
Mental health care is a key part of our IOP program at Harmony Treatment and Wellness. That’s because many people struggling with addiction also face mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or PTSD.
We offer integrated treatment that addresses both issues at once, improving your overall chances of long-term recovery.
Our services include therapy, psychiatric evaluations, and medication management to support your mental well-being throughout your recovery journey.
At Harmony Treatment and Wellness, we provide medical care to support your physical health during recovery. Our team of clinicians and mental health professionals can help manage both your addiction and medical issues.
With access to specialized healthcare professionals, you’ll receive the medical attention needed to stay healthy while you heal.
Who Is Eligible for an IOP?
IOPs are suited for those who need more support than standard outpatient care but don’t require 24-hour care. They’ve gone through stabilization and detox and are ready for the next step.
If you have a stable living environment and can manage your daily life, an IOP could be the right option. It offers structured addiction treatment without the need for overnight stays, allowing you to continue your responsibilities while receiving professional support.
If you’re not sure what the right care for you is, contact us and let us guide you toward the best treatment plan for your needs.
What Happens After an IOP?
Recovery doesn’t end when your IOP is complete. Aftercare is a vital step in maintaining your long-term sobriety and building a healthy, sustainable lifestyle.
Aftercare options include outpatient therapy, sober living homes, and participation in community-based support groups. These offer continued guidance, structure, and support, helping you manage triggers and prevent relapse.

Many insurance plans cover IOPs. Whether you have private insurance, employer-sponsored coverage, Medicaid, or Medicare, you may be eligible for full or partial coverage.
Our team will help verify your benefits and explore all financial options. We’re here to make sure you receive the care you need with as little financial stress as possible.
Tips for Choosing an Intensive Outpatient Program
When choosing between intensive outpatient services, you’ll want to make sure you’re in the best hands for your unique situation.
Here are some important factors to consider when evaluating treatment options:
- Accreditation: Look for a treatment facility that is accredited by reputable organizations, such as the Joint Commission, like Harmony Treatment and Wellness. Accreditations ensure high standards of care.
- Treatment options: Make sure the program offers a variety of treatment services, such as dialectical behavioral therapy and medication management. Harmony provides a full suite of recovery services for our patients’ diverse needs.
- Personalized care: Find out if the program tailors treatment plans to fit your unique needs and whether it addresses co-occurring mental illness.
- Aftercare: Ask about the facility’s aftercare options to support you once the IOP ends. Good aftercare services can help you maintain long-term sobriety.
- Insurance coverage: Verify if the program works with your insurance provider and what costs may be involved, including out-of-pocket expenses. Harmony works with numerous insurance providers to help you access the care you need.
