Frequently Asked Questions

What is Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?
IOP is a structured addiction treatment program that typically runs 3 hours per session, 3-5 days per week. It provides significant clinical support while allowing you to live at home, work, and maintain family responsibilities. It is commonly used as a step-down from PHP or as a primary treatment for those who do not need a higher level of care.
How long does IOP last?
IOP typically runs 8-12 weeks. Your clinical team evaluates your progress regularly and determines when a transition to standard outpatient care is clinically appropriate.
Can I work while in IOP?
Yes. IOP schedules are designed to be compatible with employment and family life. Sessions are typically held in the morning or evening to accommodate work schedules. Contact our admissions team to discuss scheduling options.
Does insurance cover IOP?
Most major insurance plans cover IOP. Archangel Centers accepts Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, and others. We verify your benefits before treatment starts, at no cost.
What is the difference between IOP and outpatient therapy?
Standard outpatient therapy is 1-2 sessions per week with a therapist. IOP provides 9-15 hours of structured programming per week, including group therapy, individual counseling, and case management. IOP provides a much higher level of clinical support.
