What this program is

Our Substance Use IOP is structured outpatient treatment for adults who are ready to change their relationship with alcohol or drugs. You attend group counseling and individual sessions several evenings a week and go home each night. It is not detox or residential care; if you need medical detox first, we help you arrange it.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is this a detox program?

No. IOP is outpatient treatment. If you need medical detox, we help you find a safe option and welcome you into IOP afterwards.

Will my employer find out?

Your treatment is confidential and protected by federal law. We do not share information without your written permission, except where the law requires it.

Can I attend if I take medication for substance use?

Yes. Medication can be an important part of recovery, and our team coordinates your care with you and your prescriber.

What if I have a setback?

A return to use is not a failure. We look at what happened, adjust your plan, and keep supporting you.

Is Substance Use IOP covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans cover intensive outpatient treatment. We work with a growing number of plans, offer self pay options, and check your coverage before you start.

Can my family be involved?

Yes. With your permission, adult family members and partners are welcome in family education sessions.
