What is Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP)?
An intensive outpatient program is a type of outpatient care that balances structured clinical services with ample opportunities for independent activities.
This level of care can be an ideal source of step-down support for patients who have completed an inpatient or partial hospitalization program. It can also be an optimal starting point for those who haven’t been in treatment before.
Scheduling Flexibility of IOP
Our intensive outpatient program in Jacksonville is in session Monday to Friday, 9 a.m.–noon each day. Depending on each patient’s plan, they may attend either three or five sessions per week.
This schedule offers tremendous flexibility, so that patients don’t feel as though they have to put their entire life on hold while they are in treatment.
Of course, our patients’ health and recovery are of primary importance, so we work closely with each person to identify and address any outside concerns that could undermine the progress they are making in treatment.
What To Expect During IOP in Jacksonville
When you choose our intensive outpatient program in Jacksonville, your typical weekly schedule will include group, individual, and holistic therapy sessions.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is a substantial component of our intensive outpatient program in Jacksonville.
With the guidance and support of an experienced professional, group participants can gain vital information about addiction and recovery, share their thoughts, learn from the insights and experiences of others, and practice skills such as effective communication and conflict resolution.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy sessions can be ideal opportunities for patients to process their experiences, discuss topics that they may not yet be ready to bring up in a group environment, and receive focused feedback from a member of their treatment team.
Holistic Therapy
Holistic therapies are designed to help patients heal in mind, body, and spirit. The category includes a variety of approaches, including yoga, art therapy, vibroacoustic therapy, and surf therapy.
These holistic pursuits give patients new ways to express themselves, address difficult emotions, and reinforce the mind-body connection. Holistic therapy can help patients discover healthier ways to fill the hours that they once spent using and recovering from addictive substances.
Accommodating School and Work During IOP
As noted earlier on this page, our flexible IOP schedule can make this level of care an ideal option for patients who need to work or attend school while they are receiving treatment.
If patients encounter potential triggers or other difficulties during these outside activities, they can use the skills they have been learning in treatment.
Then, during subsequent IOP sessions, they can benefit from both therapeutic guidance and peer support to process what occurred and assess their response.
How Long Does IOP in Jacksonville Last?
Most IOP participants remain with us for 60–90 days. We work closely with each patient to determine the optimal length of stay based on their progress and continued needs.

Family Involvement During IOP
When someone develops an addiction to alcohol or another drug, they are not the only ones who are affected. The lives of family members, friends, and others who care about them can also be disrupted.
Our team can work closely with affected loved ones to help them find the support they need, so they can also begin to heal and learn how to best support each other moving forward.
Also, with the patient’s permission, we will be happy to update their family members on their progress throughout their time in our IOP.
Relapse Prevention
At Design Recovery, we understand that the path of recovery is neither short nor straightforward. Every person will encounter challenges that can threaten to undermine their sobriety.
That’s why our IOP emphasizes the importance of knowing how to respond to triggers without sacrificing your sobriety.
Having a relapse-prevention plan in place ahead of time can make a world of difference. And if you do temporarily fall back into unhealthy old habits, it is important to know what steps to take to prevent a minor slip-up from becoming a long-term problem.
