Schedule & Structure

Three Flexible Tracks

IOP runs Monday through Thursday with three track options: Morning (9:00 AM – 12:30 PM), Afternoon (12:30 – 3:30 PM), and Evening (6:00 – 9:00 PM). Choose the track that fits your life — whether you're working full-time, attending school, or managing family responsibilities. Each 3 to 3.5 hour session delivers focused, evidence-based group and individual therapy.

The program typically lasts 60 to 90 days, with duration individualized based on your clinical progress and recovery goals. Your treatment team reviews your plan regularly and adjusts as you grow.

Expert Care Within 72 Hours

Within 72 hours of admission, you'll meet with our on-site Nurse Practitioner for a comprehensive medical evaluation and personalized medication management plan — including Suboxone, Vivitrol, or other FDA-approved medications as appropriate. Ongoing medication monitoring continues throughout your IOP journey.

Weekly individual therapy sessions pair you with a licensed clinician who works one-on-one using CBT, DBT, and ACT to reshape the thought patterns that drive addiction and mental health challenges. Your therapist coordinates closely with your entire care team.

What's Included

Focused Sessions, Real Tools

Each IOP session includes group therapy, psychoeducation, and skills workshops rooted in DBT, ACT, and relapse prevention. Groups are capped at a 12:1 ratio, ensuring you get personal attention in every session. Snacks are provided during each track to keep you fueled and focused.

Holistic practices — breathwork, mindfulness, and guided meditation — complement the clinical curriculum. Because rigid approaches don't serve unique people, your treatment adapts to your preferences: 12-Step, SMART Recovery, Dharma Recovery, or a personalized blend.

Who IOP Is For

The Right Fit for Your Life

IOP is ideal for adults stepping down from PHP who are ready for more independence, working professionals who need intensive treatment without leaving their jobs, and anyone whose clinical assessment indicates a structured outpatient level of care. The evening track is especially designed for people who work during the day.

Family therapy — available individually and through monthly Zoom support groups — helps repair relationships and gives your loved ones the tools to support your recovery. Fellowship time between sessions builds the peer connections that become your recovery network.

Your Path Forward

Life Beyond IOP

Case management covers the practical realities of rebuilding — resume writing, job search assistance, court paperwork, and connecting you with housing resources including sober living options. Transition planning begins early, not as an afterthought.

As you progress, your clinical team coordinates step-down to standard outpatient care, connects you with external therapists and psychiatrists, and enrolls you in our alumni program — a lifelong community of graduates who understand. Your time at Trailhead may end, but the support never does.
