An intensive outpatient program, usually called an IOP, sits between standard outpatient counseling and residential care. You live at home but attend structured treatment several days a week, typically 9 or more hours in total, with group therapy at the core.
In New York, IOPs usually meet 3 to 5 days a week for about 3 hours at a time, and many offer evening tracks for people who work. Of New York's 53 rehab centers, 18 report an intensive outpatient program.
