What Is Adolescent Recovery IOP?
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for recovery provides more structure and support than weekly counseling, without the disruption of residential care. It’s ideal for teens whose alcohol or drug use is beginning to impact their mental health, relationships, or daily functioning.
Programming consists of 9 hours per week from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, allowing teens to receive meaningful treatment while staying connected to school and family.
