Intensive Outpatient Program

The typical duration of our IOP is 6-12 weeks, though this varies based on individual progress and clinical needs. Some clients may need only 4-6 weeks, while others benefit from 3-4 months of IOP before transitioning to standard outpatient therapy. Your treatment team continuously monitors progress and adjusts the timeline accordingly.

IOP requires 9-12 hours per week (typically 3 hours per day, 3-5 days), while PHP requires 25-30 hours per week (5-6 hours daily, 5-6 days).
