Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Structure. Support. Stability—Without Disrupting Your Life.

When You Need More Than a Weekly Session—But Not Full Hospitalization

Recovery isn’t linear. Some people need more structure. Some need to reset after relapse. Others just need help navigating a tough stretch without stepping away from their families or responsibilities.

That’s where our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) comes in.

At Metro Recovery Center, IOP gives you three or more days of focused therapeutic care each week, in a format designed to fit your life—not take it over.

What Is IOP

IOP is a level of care that provides in-depth support and clinical structure, without the need for residential or inpatient treatment. It’s designed for individuals who:

Need more help than traditional outpatient counseling can offer
Are at risk of relapse or recently returned to use
Are transitioning from inpatient or detox and want continued accountability
Are struggling to stay emotionally or behaviorally stable
Need a safe, structured space to focus on healing—while maintaining daily life

What Makes Our IOP Different

Fully Integrated, Not Piecemeal

Unlike standalone IOPs, our program includes coordination with your MAT provider, psychiatrist, and primary counselor. Every aspect of your care is aligned.

Led by Licensed Addiction & Mental Health Professionals

Our IOP groups and sessions are run by therapists and clinicians who specialize in dual diagnosis treatment, trauma recovery, and substance use stabilization.

Whole-Person Approach

Our IOP addresses substance use, but also focuses on emotions, thoughts, relationships, trauma, and long-term resilience.

Flexible Scheduling with Real Accountability

We offer daytime and evening IOP options to fit work, parenting, and transportation needs—without sacrificing structure.

What You’ll Receive in IOP

3+ sessions per week (group, individual, and psychoeducation)
Peer-supported, clinician-led therapy groups
Personalized recovery and relapse prevention planning
Mental health counseling and medication management if needed
Ongoing clinical assessments and progress evaluations
Optional family involvement, case coordination, and discharge planning

You’ll receive the structure of a higher level of care, but with the freedom to keep living your life outside the program.

Is IOP Right for You

IOP might be the best next step if.

You’re on MAT (Methadone, Suboxone, Brixadi) but still struggling emotionally
You’ve had multiple relapses and need a reset
Outpatient therapy hasn’t been enough to maintain stability
You’re coming out of residential or detox and need continued support
You want to commit to recovery without leaving work, school, or family obligations

You Deserve More Than Just Another Treatment Program

You don’t need to have it all figured out to start. You just need to take the first step.
