what is intensive outpatient care?

Sustain Recovery’s intensive outpatient program provides education and treatment services for adolescents whose medical needs don’t necessitate full residential care or partial hospitalization. This special level of care allows teenagers to stay in therapy during the day but return home at night and take charge of their own schedule. 

Whether your adolescent is transitioning down from a more intensive level of care or just beginning their recovery journey, IOP provides the opportunity for them to heal with the personal agency and ability to make their own decisions that are pertinent to sustainable recovery for life.

what does sustain's intensive outpatient program include?

Our Intensive Outpatient Program not only offers continued care and education to help adolescents take control of maladaptive behaviors – it also provides a safe place for them to develop new skills to create new habits that turn into lifelong changes. 

The hours of IOP allow adolescents who wish to continue their regular schooling to do so without schedule overlap.

who is intensive outpatient care right for?

Intensive Outpatient Care falls below Residential Care and Partial Hospitalization on Sustain Recovery’s continuum of care, for boys and girls who don't require the full-time structural support of residential treatment or intensive partial hospitalization. 

Intensive outpatient care may be right for:

  • Adolescents who have graduated from the need for residential or partial hospitalization
  • Adolescents who are coming to Sustain after a treatment program somewhere else
  • Adolescents who are ready to practice their recovery on their own but might benefit from continued monitoring and support
  • Adolescents who are starting their recovery journey in a secure and supportive home environment
