What is Intensive Outpatient Care (IOP)?

Intensive Outpatient Care is a structured treatment option that provides multiple therapy sessions each week while allowing individuals to continue living at home. It offers more support than standard outpatient therapy without requiring residential care. 

What is an IOP and why is it used?

An IOP is used when someone needs more frequent therapeutic support to stabilize symptoms, strengthen coping skills, or transition from a higher level of care. It helps individuals maintain progress while balancing daily responsibilities. 

What comes first, PHP or IOP?

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) usually comes before IOP. PHP offers more hours and structure, and clients often step down to IOP as their symptoms improve.

What are the minimum hours for IOP?

Most IOP programs require at least 9 hours of treatment per week, often delivered as three 3-hour group sessions. 

Who is a good candidate for IOP?

IOP is a good fit for people who need consistent therapeutic support but do not require 24-hour supervision. It works well for individuals who are motivated for treatment, able to maintain safety, and stable enough to continue living at home while participating in structured care.
