Sustainable Healing That Fits Your Life
Intensive Outpatient Support for Long-Term Sobriety in Iowa
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a wellness-focused treatment model designed to provide high-level clinical care without an overnight stay. It serves as a vital bridge, allowing you to transition from intensive stabilization back into your daily routine while maintaining a strong connection to your recovery community. You attend sessions at our Des Moines rehab and return to your own home at night, giving you the space to integrate new, healthy habits into your actual living environment while preventing relapse.
Who is it for?
- The Step-Down Patient: Individuals who have completed detox or residential treatment and need a structured transition to prevent relapse.
- The Working Professional: People who require professional clinical help but must maintain their responsibilities at a job or career.
- Students & Caregivers: Those with school commitments or family duties who cannot step away for a 30-day inpatient stay.
- Early-Stage Recovery: Individuals with a stable living environment who are catching a substance use issue before it requires 24/7 medical oversight.

Common Questions About Our IOP Program
Can I continue working or going to school?
Yes. Our program is specifically designed to be flexible. With morning and evening session options, you can maintain your professional or academic commitments while receiving high-level clinical support.
How many hours a week is the program?
Typically, IOP involves 9 to 15 hours of clinical programming per week. This usually consists of three-hour sessions, three to five days a week, allowing for a structured “step-down” as you gain more stability in your recovery.
Do I have to complete residential treatment first?
Not necessarily. While many people use IOP as a transition from inpatient care, it is also an effective starting point for those with a stable home environment who need more than traditional weekly therapy to fix the roots of their addiction.
What is the difference between IOP and standard outpatient therapy?
Standard outpatient therapy usually involves one hour-long session per week. Our IOP is much more intensive, providing 9 to 15 hours of clinical engagement weekly. This higher dosage of care is designed to create a breakthrough in your recovery while providing a much stronger support network than traditional therapy alone.
Can my family be involved in my treatment?
Absolutely. We believe that family support is a cornerstone of long-term wellness. We offer family therapy sessions and educational resources to help your loved ones understand the recovery process, heal together, and create a supportive environment at home as you navigate your IOP journey.
Is IOP covered by insurance?
Most major private insurance plans cover Intensive Outpatient Programming. We offer a free, confidential insurance verification to help you understand your coverage and any potential out-of-pocket costs before you start. Call us at (888) 378-2158 to get a fast answer.
