Seeking Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) Near You?
Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches (BHOPB) is dedicated to supporting your recovery journey. Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is specifically designed for individuals who require structured addiction treatment but do not need the intensive support of an inpatient residential program.
At BHOPB, our IOP delivers evidence-based, personalized care, reflecting our unwavering commitment to excellence. This program enables you to receive professional, customized treatment while balancing your daily responsibilities, whether at work, school, or home. With our trusted support, you can achieve harmony between recovery and everyday life.
Our IOP offers intensive therapeutic interventions and support without the need for 24/7 residential care. For some, IOP is the first step in their recovery journey; for others, it’s a crucial stepping stone in the continuum of addiction treatment. This program provides a higher level of care than traditional outpatient services, empowering you to apply recovery skills in real-world settings.
What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?
Think of IOP as the middle ground between residential treatment and outpatient therapy. It’s designed to help you focus on recovery and build the skills you need for ongoing sobriety. During IOP, you participate in therapy sessions for at least nine hours per week. You’ll learn to combat negative thinking and develop coping skills to help you handle triggers.
Most importantly for many of our clients, during IOP, you can adapt your treatment to fit into your daily life. You don’t have to take a leave of absence from work or quit your job. You’ll still be able to see your children and loved ones every day. Throughout, you’ll receive medical and psychiatric care from BHOPB’s team. The goal of IOP is to help you incorporate recovery tactics into your life.
Methods we use in substance abuse intensive outpatient programs include:
- Individual therapy
- Group therapy
- Relapse prevention
- Addiction education
- Coping mechanisms
- Mindfulness
- Stress management techniques
One study found that, for the right patients, an IOP can be just as effective as inpatient care.
Benefits of Intensive Outpatient Care
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed to fit seamlessly into your daily life, allowing you to maintain your commitments while receiving the treatment you need. Unlike more intensive inpatient programs, IOP offers a more cost-effective and affordable option, making quality care accessible even without insurance coverage.
One of the key benefits of IOP is the ability to stay connected with the real world. This connection allows you to practice the skills you learn in treatment in your everyday life, helping to reinforce your recovery in a practical setting. You also have the ongoing support of your loved ones and family members, who play a crucial role in your support system.
At BHOPB, our IOP is tailored to meet your individual needs. Whether you’re transitioning from a higher level of care or just beginning your journey to sobriety, our holistic approach addresses every aspect of your recovery—physical, emotional, and spiritual.
Even after completing IOP, our commitment to your recovery continues. You’ll have ongoing access to our support system through alumni programs and aftercare services, ensuring you stay connected and supported as you move forward in your journey.
