Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Flexible Recovery with Structure That Fits Real Life
What is IOP?
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is ideal for individuals who need more than weekly therapy but don’t require the full-time structure of inpatient or PHP treatment. With morning and evening group options, IOP allows you to receive comprehensive recovery support—while still living at home and staying active in work, school, or family life.
​
At Connected Path Recovery, IOP offers the perfect blend of accountability, community, and flexibility.
