An IOP provides a flexible treatment approach with evidence-based therapies to individuals experiencing mild substance abuse. At NYC Rehab Center, we help people regain control over their lives without putting their lives, jobs, or families on hold.
IOP is an alternative to traditional outpatient therapy on a weekly basis and full-day partial Hospitalization (PHP). It’s designed to help people who require more discipline and accountability than a weekly therapy session can provide however, they don’t require 24-hour residential treatment.
At NYC Rehab Recovery, our IOP team is certified in the specific treatment of addiction, withdrawal risk, triggers for relapse, managing cravings, withdrawal triggers, and co-occurring issues that often are associated with substance use.
