What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program?
The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at The Recovery Village Atlanta helps clients transition to living in the community after living onsite at the facility. In an IOP, clients receive several hours of rehab therapies each week to address the emotional and mental impacts of addiction and co-occurring disorders.
Is intensive outpatient treatment right for me?
If these apply to you, attending our IOP could be the next step in your recovery.
What to Expect In Our IOP
Many patients need more than an inpatient rehab stay to feel fully ready to enter life in recovery. Our IOP offers comprehensive daytime therapy so you can keep getting intensive support while living at home.
IOP patients attend at least nine hours of therapy per week. You’ll have medical appointments, one-on-one sessions with your therapist, and skills-based group therapy sessions that help you develop strategies for daily sober living.

How long is intensive outpatient rehab?
The time to complete rehab is different for each person. However, clients who dedicate themselves to their recovery often complete their IOP in 1–3 months.
Is drug or alcohol detox included?
Medical detox is not included in an IOP. If you need medical detox, you should complete that program first before transitioning to more flexible levels of care like IOP.

IOPs help patients transition from living at the facility full-time to living at home and visiting for treatment.

This pivotal step helps many patients decrease their risk of relapse and overdose after completing rehab.
Is transportation provided for IOP rehab?
Transportation is not provided. It is the patient’s responsibility to find transportation to and from their IOP rehab appointments.
