Our addiction intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides structured, evidence-based treatment for drug and alcohol addiction three days a week while you live at home. Call us today to take the first step.
An intensive outpatient program, or IOP, is a step below partial hospitalization on the continuum of addiction care. You attend three-hour group sessions at The Ranch Pennsylvania Outpatient Center three days a week and spend the rest of your time at home, at work or at school. IOP offers more support than weekly counseling alone without requiring you to put your life on hold.
Our addiction IOP treats alcohol and drug use disorders, including co-occurring mental health conditions through integrated dual diagnosis care. Many clients step down to IOP after completing our addiction PHP or residential treatment at The Ranch Pennsylvania; others begin here when they have a stable, substance-free home and need structured help to stay on track.
