Intensive Outpatient Program
Big Sky Rehab Could Be the Path to Recovery Without Putting Life on Hold
Every recovery journey starts somewhere. If someone you care about is struggling with substance use or mental health challenges but doesn’t need full-time inpatient care, an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) might be the ideal option. At Big Sky Rehab, we’re here to guide you to that first step, 24 hours a day.
What is an Intensive Outpatient Program?
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a structured treatment option designed for individuals who need more than weekly therapy—but don’t require residential, round-the-clock supervision. IOPs allow people to continue their daily lives—attending school, work, or caring for family—while receiving frequent therapy, accountability, and medical support.
Common features of IOPs include:
- 9–20 hours of treatment per week
- Group and individual counseling
- Mental health and addiction therapy
- Medication management (if needed)
- Relapse prevention and life skills training
Eligibility for Big Sky Rehab’s Intensive Outpatient Program
Intensive Outpatient Program is designed as an intermediate level of care suitable for individuals seeking structured support for their addiction challenges. Ideal candidates for this program are those who:
- Have recently completed inpatient treatment and need ongoing support
- Are struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, or trauma—but remain stable enough to live at home
- Need flexible care that fits around work, school, or parenting
- Want structured therapy and accountability without leaving their daily routine
