Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) are meant for individuals that need more than early intervention or general outpatient care but don’t necessarily need the medical detox or 24-hour supervision during their recovery.
Individuals that benefit from IOP are often suffering from co-occurring disorders. These individuals will typically live at home and commute to the treatment center.
More than 10 percent of individuals receiving treatment for addiction is treated through intensive outpatient programs. How do you know if you or a loved one would benefit from an intensive outpatient treatment program?
Let’s talk about the different Intensive Outpatient Programs that New Road’s in Cottonwood Heights, Utah offers:
