Intensive Outpatient Program Orange County

Flexible, Effective Addiction Treatment That Fits Your Life through our trusted partners

Intensive Outpatient Program in Orange County, CA

At Orange County Detox Center, we know that recovery doesn’t end with detox — it’s a lifelong journey that requires the right support at every stage. For clients ready to step down from higher levels of care like residential rehab or PHP, an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) can offer the structure and guidance needed to continue making progress.

When a client has completed their Detox and residential levels of care with us, we work closely with a trusted network of local partners who specialize in intensive outpatient treatment. Our team is committed to helping you transition smoothly into the right IOP program, ensuring you have the ongoing support necessary to build stability, strengthen coping skills, and maintain your recovery — all while balancing work, school, and family responsibilities.

What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?

An Intensive Outpatient Program is a structured, part-time treatment option for individuals recovering from substance use or co-occurring mental health disorders. IOP provides 9 to 15 hours of therapy per week, typically spread over 3 to 5 days, allowing clients to live at home or in sober living while receiving consistent, clinically guided support.

IOP Is Ideal for Individuals Who:

  • Have completed detox, inpatient, or PHP care
  • Are transitioning back into daily responsibilities (work, school, family)
  • Need continued support to prevent relapse
  • Want flexibility while staying deeply engaged in recovery

IOP for Dual Diagnosis Clients

Many individuals struggling with substance use also experience mental health conditions like anxiety, trauma, or bipolar disorder. Our IOP is designed to support dual diagnosis by addressing both sides of the recovery equation.

Through integrated therapy and coordinated psychiatric care, we help clients gain stability, manage symptoms, and reduce the risk of relapse.

How Long Does IOP Last?

Most clients participate in our IOP for 6 to 12 weeks, with the exact duration depending on clinical needs and treatment progress. We adjust your care plan weekly based on feedback, therapeutic goals, and life circumstances.

Some clients step down into Outpatient Program (OP) or transition into Aftercare & Alumni support following IOP completion.
