Intensive Outpatient Treatment (also known as IOP) is a primary treatment program recommended in some circumstances by a clinical and medical assessment. IOP may be recommended for those who do not need medically-supervised detox. IOP can also enable people in recovery to continue their recovery to continue their recovery therapies following successful detox, on a part-time yet intensive schedule, designed to accommodate work and family life. Some of the topics discussed in IOP and OP groups are as follows:
- Relapse Prevention Skills
- Stages of Change

- Understanding the Brain Chemistry of Addiction
- Progression of the Disease of Addiction
- Introduction to the Twelve Steps
- Spirituality
- Post-Acute Withdrawal or “PAWS”
