Intensive Outpatient Program

Aftermath’s Intensive Outpatient Program provides effective, evidence-based treatment for drugs and alcohol, while allowing our clients to get back to work and live at home. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at our facility in Wakefield, Massachusetts, provides the structure and flexibility for those who struggle to maintain their sobriety to get the treatment they need for their substance abuse, while being able to meet their social obligations.

An inpatient program isn’t for everyone. Some simply can’t commit due to family or job responsibilities. Or it could be that their addiction isn’t advanced enough to warrant inpatient treatment. Fortunately, an IOP may be exactly what you need.

What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?

An Intensive Outpatient Program is traditionally the next step following a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). It can act as a sort of “step-down” in the level of care as a client progresses with their drug or alcohol rehabilitation treatment. In such an instance, a client would begin with a PHP, then move on to the IOP and continue on an outpatient basis with an outpatient program. 

Intensive outpatient programs are also ideal for those who cannot make the long-term commitment to this process or an inpatient residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation treatment program. The team at Aftermath knows that it can be difficult to take time off from work, and many people have financial obligations where they cannot afford to commit to a long-term inpatient program for substance abuse. 

The intensive outpatient program at Aftermath Addiction Treatment Center is ideal for adjusting as you get back to your day-to-day life. The IOP Program at our Wakefield, Massachusetts location could be an ideal fit for those who seek sobriety to build upon their recovery while still providing the flexibility to allow you to take care of what you need to.

What are the Benefits to an IOP Program?

There are several reasons why an intensive outpatient program in MA could be beneficial:

• While a PHP program consists of 25 hours per week, an IOP program in Massachusetts can be as little as nine hours per week or as many as 15 hours each week.
• You can still work, go to school, meet family obligations and maintain social relationships while still receiving the compassion, structure and stability you need in early recovery.
• While allowing for a work-life balance, you still receive the care you need for your substance use disorder, as Aftermath’s IOP program ranges between 12 to 16 weeks.
• Aftermath Addiction Treatment Center’s IOP program provides you with recovery resources, such as support groups to build upon your recovery, aftercare planning and case management services.
