Common Questions About Our IOP Program
What is an IOP program?
An intensive outpatient program, or IOP, is a structured level of addiction and mental health treatment that involves several hours of therapy a few days a week, without requiring clients to live at a treatment facility. It offers more support than standard outpatient therapy while allowing clients to remain in their home environment.
How is IOP different from PHP?
A partial hospitalization program, or PHP, typically involves a full day of programming most days of the week, similar in intensity to a structured daily schedule. IOP involves fewer hours and fewer days, making it a common step-down care from PHP option for clients who no longer need that level of intensity but still benefit from consistent clinical support.
Can I work while attending IOP?
Yes. One of the main advantages of IOP is its flexible treatment schedule, which is designed to accommodate work, school, and family responsibilities. Many clients choose an evening IOP program in Denver specifically so they can maintain their daytime obligations while still receiving structured treatment.
Is IOP available at the Denver location?
Yes. Denver Recovery Center offers our IOP program in Denver, CO with both daytime and evening scheduling options, along with outpatient group counseling, individual therapy, and family support built into the program.
