What is IOP Treatment?

IOP is a longer-term program lasting 8-12 weeks that allows clients to schedule treatment while maintaining their daily schedules.

The goal of our comprehensive IOP program is to address substance use and addiction along with any underlying co-occurring mental health concerns, such as anxiety and depression, and begin developing good social and vocational habits.

We strive to help young people become more like the person they want to be, without using substances to get there.

We only use treatment interventions that have been scientifically proven to provide consistent, lasting recovery.

You are not a number, that’s why we provide a comfortable setting where your voice can be heard.
Individualized Treatment Plans
No one person is the same, and neither is their recovery journey. Your treatment program will be tailored to your unique needs.
Academic and Vocational Support
We want clients to get the most out of life, which means doing their best in the classroom or at their job.
The Family Component
Recovery involves the entire family, so we provide support for the whole family system.

Marijuana Treatment

Marijuana has become a way to self-medicate for underlying issues and it’s easy to become dependent on its use.

Alcohol Treatment

Studies have found that binge drinking & heavy alcohol use are problematic for young people.

Opioid Treatment

Opioid misuse occurs when a person uses heroin or misuses prescription pain relievers like hydrocodone, oxycodone, and morphine.

Stimulant Treatment

Commonly abused stimulants include cocaine, methamphetamines, and prescription stimulants, like Ritalin, Adderall, and Concerta.
