Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Texas
Flexible, evidence-based addiction treatment that fits your life. Return to work, school, or family while getting the intensive support you need to maintain sobriety.
About This Program
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is an addiction treatment program designed for clients who are ready to return to work, school, and other responsibilities or who do not require a higher level of care.
Unlike residential treatment programs, IOP does not require that clients live onsite at the addiction treatment center. Instead, many IOP clients live in their homes, at a sober living house or in another safe living environment while they complete treatment. IOP allows flexibility for clients to focus on their recovery while they transition back into their communities.
At Positive Recovery Centers, IOP clients attend 3-4 days per week (9-12 hours) for approximately eight weeks. Each group session lasts three hours and is facilitated in a structured, supportive setting led by licensed professionals. We offer day and evening options to fit individual needs.
Program Goals
Learn how to mitigate risk for relapse and effectively manage a recurrence of symptoms. Develop strategies to cope with cravings, triggers, and high-risk situations.
Establish a strong sober support system. Address issues related to social, psychological, and emotional well-being through group and individual sessions.
Promote family healing and growth. Family therapy engages the entire family unit so they can understand each other's experiences and repair past hurts.
