Residential treatment is an incredibly important part of the recovery journey. Living in a supportive environment and 24/7 accountability can help patients build a strong foundation for recovery so they’re ready for any challenges that lie ahead. However, once a residential treatment program is complete, ongoing support is still crucial. There are several levels of outpatient addiction treatment programs that can help with the transition back to everyday life. Calvary Healing Center’s intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides continued structure for patients who are building healthy coping skills and preparing to reintegrate into the real world.
Our IOP provides a way for patients to remain connected to the recovery community while also making progress on their personal goals. By attending group, individual, and family therapy sessions, patients learn how to manage the symptoms of their addiction while also developing the skills they need to live a healthy life.

What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program?
An intensive outpatient program is a step down from residential treatment that can benefit those who need additional support when transitioning back to their life at home. While in an IOP, patients attend therapy sessions multiple days a week. The therapies that are involved in intensive outpatient programs may include:
- Group therapy – Group therapy can give patients the chance to learn how to live a healthy life with others dealing with similar issues.
- Holistic therapy – Holistic therapies can help patients gain control of their thoughts and emotions. Examples of this kind of therapy include art, yoga, music therapy, and meditation.
- Relapse prevention therapy – Relapse prevention therapy is an important part of IOP. Patients learn how to create a relapse prevention plan so they can stay on track with their recovery.
- Dialectical behavior therapy – This type of therapy helps patients learn how to better manage their emotions and work through any destructive behaviors.
- Medication-assisted treatment – If necessary, medication-assisted treatment can be part of an intensive outpatient program. Patients receive medications that reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms while they work through the recovery process.
Every step of the way, addiction treatment professionals provide support and guidance.
