Intensive outpatient therapy is a level of treatment designed for individuals who aren’t at a place where they require highly intensive inpatient therapy, but also need more support, structure, and accountability than what is typically offered in less intensive treatment plans. At Rockland Recovery, we focus on the individual, and our Intensive Outpatient (IOP) Program is built around you, with respect for your needs and your journey through recovery.
If you need help for an addiction or your mental health, please know that a partner in healing is only a phone call away. Contact Rockland Recovery at 888-299-4833.

What Is Intensive Outpatient IOP?
For many individuals, the journey to addiction recovery begins with detox, followed by treatment in an inpatient treatment facility. Inpatient treatment is a residential program that is highly intensive and offers a top-tier level of structure and support.
However, each person who reaches the point of seeking treatment has unique needs and circumstances, and inpatient treatment isn’t always the right option, while a traditional outpatient rehab program isn’t the right fit either. This is where our IOP rehab enters the picture.
At Rockland Recovery, our intensive outpatient program is tailored to the individual, with a holistic approach and respect for their journey.
Our approach sets the path for healing from alcohol or drug addiction. We also address co-occurring mental health conditions. It’s a structured program that allows you the freedom and flexibility to meet work and life obligations. You can return to your own home or safe living environment at the end of the day.
IOP rehab requires a commitment of several hours over the course of multiple days each week. Unlike a singular meeting or group therapy session per week, your IOP plan will include multiple types of therapy and counseling to meet your individual needs.
Some of the evidence-based therapies we offer include:
- Individual counseling
- Group therapy
- Family therapy
- Education about mental health and substance use disorders
- Medication-assisted treatment
- Medication management
- Cognitive behavioral therapy
- Dialectical behavior therapy
- Motivational interviewing
- 12-step facilitation
- Case management and aftercare planning
- Relapse prevention services
Benefits of Intensive Outpatient Therapy (IOP) for Substance Abuse
Intensive outpatient therapy at Rockland Recovery prioritizes individualized care, ensuring that your unique needs are at the forefront of your treatment plan. Our team collaborates closely with you to assess your specific circumstances and develop a personalized approach to your recovery journey. Experience the flexibility of our program, designed to fit seamlessly into your life while still providing the structure necessary for successful healing.
- Individualized Approach: Intensive outpatient therapy is built around the individual. During IOP, our team works with you to determine your needs. We consider the type of addiction, whether medication-assisted treatment is an option if there are co-occurring mental health disorders, and the treatments that will produce the highest level of success for you.
- Flexibility: We know that too many people don’t get the help they need because they don’t feel it will fit into their lives. IOP offers a high level of intensity, without demanding a 24/7 commitment.
- Structure: We work with you to set a plan in place that provides a structure for your journey to recovery. Even though this isn’t an inpatient program, there is a schedule that needs to be followed.
- Responsibility & Accountability: Because you’re not residing at the facility, IOP requires a higher level of responsibility and accountability than inpatient programs. These are attributes that are crucial to long-lasting recovery.
- Support & Community: You’re never without support at Rockland Recovery, and we work with you throughout the process to assess and adjust your course of treatment as needed. We also encourage a sense of community that uplifts while offering support and accountability.

Is Intensive Outpatient Rehab Right for You?
How do you know if intensive outpatient rehab is right for you? First, we want to say that IOP is more than just a way of avoiding inpatient treatment. It’s an approach that’s designed for a very specific stage of recovery, and if you currently need the 24/7 support and structure of an inpatient program, then IOP isn’t right for you at this time.
Intensive outpatient therapy can be a good fit for individuals who have already completed inpatient treatment but still need a higher level of structure, and for those who are able to manage their own schedule, while being committed to their recovery.
IOP Rehab can also be a good fit for those who have life obligations that they can’t take a break from. Single parents without someone trustworthy who can take over childcare during an inpatient stay are an example. Taking time off from work might be a financial liability for you, and you need a recovery plan that can work around your life. Some people also feel that IOP is a more private solution and that they can attend their treatments without drawing attention to themselves.
