Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Heartland Wellness Center’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers structured support while allowing participants to maintain their daily routines. Located in Northwest Indiana, our program helps individuals on their journey to recovery while balancing personal and professional responsibilities.

What is an Intensive Outpatient Program?

An Intensive Outpatient Program bridges the gap between inpatient treatment and traditional outpatient therapy. It provides structured treatment sessions multiple times per week, focusing on mental health, substance use, or dual diagnoses.

Key Features of IOP:

  • Structured treatment sessions held multiple times per week.
  • Individual therapy to explore personal challenges and build coping strategies.
  • Group counseling for shared support and learning.
  • Family therapy to foster understanding and healing within support systems.
  • Educational workshops on addiction science, stress management, and relapse prevention.

Who Can Benefit from an IOP?

IOP is an excellent option for individuals who:

  • Need structured support but do not require 24/7 supervision.
