Intensive Outpatient FAQ
Get answers to common questions about our Intensive Outpatient Program and how it supports long-term recovery with flexible, structured care.
What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?
An IOP is a structured form of addiction treatment that allows clients to receive care during the day or evening while continuing to live at home or in sober housing. It includes therapy, education, and support without requiring full-time residential treatment.
Who is a good fit for IOP?
IOP is ideal for individuals who have completed detox or residential treatment and are ready for a step-down level of care. It’s also a great option for those with mild to moderate substance use disorders who have a stable home environment.
How long does IOP last?
The average IOP lasts 8 to 12 weeks, but the duration can vary based on each person’s progress and needs. We tailor the program to ensure you receive the right level of care for as long as necessary.
How many hours a week is IOP?
Typically, IOP involves about 9 to 15 hours of treatment per week, divided into multiple sessions. These hours may be spread over 3 to 5 days, depending on the individual’s needs and program structure.
What types of therapy are offered in IOP?
IOP at Arrowwood includes individual therapy, group counseling, family sessions, relapse prevention, life skills training, and trauma-informed care. We also address co-occurring mental health conditions as needed.

Is IOP covered by insurance?

What’s the difference between IOP and inpatient treatment?
Inpatient treatment requires you to live at the facility full-time, while IOP allows you to live at home or in a sober living environment and attend treatment sessions throughout the week.

We Work with Most Major Insurance Providers.

Is family involved in IOP?
Yes. Family therapy and education are key components of our program. We help loved ones understand addiction, improve communication, and strengthen support systems for lasting recovery.
What happens if I relapse during IOP?
Relapse doesn’t mean failure—it’s an opportunity to reevaluate and adjust the treatment plan. If needed, we’ll provide a higher level of care or additional support to get you back on track.
Can I attend IOP after detox only?
In some cases, yes. If you have a supportive home environment and don’t require 24-hour care, you may transition directly from detox to IOP. Our team will assess your needs and recommend the best path forward.
Are drug tests part of the program?
Yes. Random drug and alcohol testing is a routine part of IOP to help keep clients accountable and ensure a substance-free recovery environment.
