Our Intensive Outpatient Programs
Bridging the Gaps recognizes that different people require different options for care, which is why we offer a half-day intensive outpatient program. IOP provides structured and supportive treatment for individuals whose needs and circumstances may allow them to realize positive outcomes in a more flexible, non-residential setting.

Transitional Wellness
What is an Intensive Outpatient Program?
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a form of treatment for individuals dealing with substance use issues. It provides an individualized program that offers specific treatment services while allowing the patient to remain in their home environment. IOP is designed to help those who may not need full residential treatment but could benefit from a more intensive level of care than what is available in traditional outpatient settings.
Recovery in Motion
Where do Intensive Outpatient Clients Reside?
IOP program clients can live at home, managing their own daily needs while attending structured clinical sessions during the week. For those not ready to live at home, transitional living environments like BTG's peer-supported sober living house or other approved sober living options are available.

Programs Designed For Your Needs
The Care That’s Right For You
As an outpatient program, IOP can be attended from home. The client is expected to provide for his own daily needs, such as cooking, meal preparation, shopping and establishing a healthy daily routine. During this phase of treatment, the client is provided the opportunity to experience both the privileges and obligations of life “on his or her own” while continuing to have the structure of clinical programming throughout the week.

The BTG Difference
Roots of Addiction
In order to create a healthy, sustainable recovery from drugs and alcohol, it is important to address the root cause. So our partial hospitalization services includes rebalancing brain chemistry, utilizing comprehensive psychotherapy, implementing proper nutrition, and nourishing one’s spirituality.
Long-Term Care
Our long-term continuum of care allows our clients to progress through our program at a pace that fits the severity of their disease, allowing them adequate time to heal that is unique to their individual situation. Research has shown that clients who stay engaged in treatment for longer have better long-term results once treatment is completed.
Sober Living
Our supportive sober living allows clients to reintegrate into society safely, allowing them to utilize their newly-acquired life skills and coping mechanisms in everyday situations as they continue to benefit from a sober community. Our 3 residences provide the comforts of home with added support and accountability.

FAQs
Find answers to commonly asked questions about addiction and recovery.
What is the difference between IOP and PHP?
PHP is a more intensive program than IOP. At PHP, clients attend treatment all day including access to all of our holistic modalities and medical care. At the IOP level, clients have further stabilized and only require treatment for the morning. The focus shifts from healing through our multiple modalities to practicing the tools of early recovery.
What is the difference between outpatient and intensive outpatient?
IOP is a more intensive outpatient program than our outpatient program (Continuing Care). In IOP, clients participate in our morning program 3 – 5 days per week while our outpatient clients have just 1 – 2 groups per week that are scheduled to accommodate typical work schedules.
How long is intensive outpatient treatment?
The amount of time the client is in treatment depends on the needs of the particular client and where they are in their treatment process. Typically, clients will attend IOP 5 days per week as they transition out of PHP. We will then slowly taper to 3 days per week. The taper process allows clients to experience a return to the real world with the simultaneous ability to fully process daily stressors, interpersonal and intrafamily dynamics, relapse warning signs, and the experience of sober life within the group and individual process. On average, clients attend our IOP program for 6 – 12 weeks before transitioning into Continuing Care.
Does intensive outpatient address co-occurring disorders?
Often, clients presenting for addictions treatment also struggle with co-occurring mental health symptoms like anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and personality disorders. These co-occurring disorders can complicate the recovery process so it is important to treat both simultaneously to ensure the best outcomes. Our IOP program is intentionally designed to address the root cause of the addiction and enhance the quality of long term sobriety. We provide comprehensive and integrated care tailored to the individual’s needs in order to manage mental health symptoms, enhance coping mechanisms and improve resiliency so as to alleviate the emotional pain that drives the desire to self-medicate with substances of abuse.
