Intensive Outpatient: IOP Program Nashville, Tennessee

(423) 406-6568

IOP NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE

Individuals and families recovering from a substance use disorder and mental health conditions often require additional support after completing a detox program and inpatient treatment.

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are a comprehensive solution, providing flexible care schedules and mental health services in alignment with clients’ daily lives.

These programs are ideal for those who require more support than traditional outpatient services can provide but don’t require the 24-hour intensive care that a residential program in Nashville offers. Our IOP in Nashville, TN, has gained popularity due to its interpersonal effectiveness, flexibility, affordability, and successful outcomes.

If you or a loved one require addiction treatment or step-down care but cannot commit to inpatient programming at a treatment facility, Grace Recovery Center’s intensive outpatient program in Nashville is a convenient and accommodating option for treating drug and alcohol abuse and mental health disorders.

What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?

An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a form of treatment for substance abuse and mental health issues. It is more rigorous than our standard outpatient program as it involves more hours dedicated to evidence-based therapies and clinical services. However, unlike inpatient programs, there is no requirement for you to reside at our addiction treatment center.

Our intensive outpatient care provides enough flexibility for clients to maintain their lives outside the program and build upon their independence. Intensive outpatient programs are ideal for adults struggling with addiction and other mental health disorders who cannot commit to inpatient care due to work, school, or other life circumstances.

Like partial hospitalization programs, IOPs act as a bridge to help individuals transition from an inpatient setting to an outpatient community setting for continued medical care. The main difference between intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization, which are both used to treat mental health issues and substance abuse, is the structure of care provided.

Grace Recovery Center offers flexible in-person meeting times, with day and evening options for outpatient treatment. While in our intensive outpatient treatment program, you’ll engage in treatment sessions similar to partial hospitalization program services, such as individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and medical treatment, for a few hours at a time.

What is a Typical Day Like in Intensive Outpatient Treatment?

Our intensive outpatient program begins with an initial assessment of your needs. Based on this, we craft a custom treatment plan suited to your recovery goals. Clients who attend IOP programs typically meet in various treatment settings for 3 hours a day, 3-5 days a week, with a minimum requirement of 9 hours. We provide flexible scheduling, with options for day or night meetings to ensure treatment does not interfere with personal responsibilities.

Schedules in our intensive outpatient program will include weekly individual therapy, counseling services, family therapy, holistic therapy, and meetings with care providers for medication management. Skill development, 12-step concepts, and relapse prevention education will also be integrated into the scheduled times for a more comprehensive recovery experience. 

These programs typically last 8-12 weeks. However, clients with more serious substance abuse issues may extend beyond that. An IOP aims to help you acquire the fundamentals for lasting recovery, so addiction treatment lengths and weekly time commitments may be adjusted for each individual’s needs.
