# Intensive outpatient therapy

Published 2026-07-28

An intensive outpatient program, or IOP, provides concentrated addiction treatment without a residential stay.

IOP can be useful when a participant has a safe and supportive home environment but cannot step away from education, employment or family responsibilities for residential care.

## Program structure

Aim 4 Recovery has offered separate adult and adolescent programming with morning, afternoon, evening and weekend options. Group sessions, individual counseling and comprehensive assessments form the core of treatment.

## What sessions may address

- Triggers, cravings and relapse prevention
- Communication and relationship skills
- Emotional regulation and self-awareness
- Family dynamics and recovery support
- Practical routines for long-term recovery

## A safe home matters

IOP is not appropriate for every situation. When a home environment includes active substance use, severe instability or other safety concerns, a more structured level of care may be recommended.

Schedule and session details can change. Call 626-602-6735 for current program information.
