Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Louisville

Our Intensive Outpatient Program in Louisville offers a high level of structure but in an outpatient setting. Therefore, clients can leave the facility where they get treatment. Like other outpatient programs, clients in IOP programs in Kentucky can live at home or in a sober living program during treatment. However, there are some differences between IOP and other outpatient programs.

The IOP level of care can be a step down from a partial hospitalization program (PHP). A PHP has a lot of structure where clients must attend their program most of the day for four to five days per week. After a PHP, clients gain the skills they need to stay sober without high levels of support and structure. But, if they still need a structured program, they can transition to an IOP.

Overall, IOP for addiction treatment offers more flexibility than a PHP or other higher levels of care, like detox or residential treatment. Our IOP in Louisville, KY occurs during the evening or on weekends so clients can attend school or work during the day. Most sessions will last a few hours during IOP and occur three to five times weekly.

The main benefit of IOP for addiction treatment is that clients get a structured program with a flexible schedule. As a result, they can bridge the gap between active, daily treatment and returning to everyday life. Their treatment is still a regular part of their schedule and requires more time than outpatient therapy. Yet, they are less restricted than inpatient and partial programs.

Additional benefits of our IOP programs in Kentucky include the following:

• Able to help out with family and household responsibilities during outpatient rehab
• Learn to build a natural support system
• Individualized treatment plans to meet the needs of the person in recovery
• Evidence-based treatment methods yield the best outcomes for recovery
• Continue life skills courses that are often not available in standard outpatient therapy
• Lower cost than residential treatment or PHP
• Continue to pursue educational goals or work during treatment
• Peer support from others in recovery

The benefits of our IOP in Louisville, KY can help clients get back on the right track during their recovery. By offering different levels of care, our clients can move from one level to the next without feeling like there is a gap in treatment. That way, they can move forward gradually while still having the needed structure and support.

Our IOP addiction treatment center offers many of the same services as our PHP. However, unlike PHP, clients could have more choices about where to focus their recovery. For instance, a client could still need help with specific life skills, like maintaining a new job or getting a place to live. On the other hand, a person might only need therapy and relapse prevention skills. Since the causes and consequences of each person’s addiction are unique, not everyone will need the same types of services.

We offer the following services during our IOP:
