Intensive Outpatient

In-Person IOP Mental Health & Addiction Services

What is an IOP Program?

Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP) is an in-person, ambulatory level of care. Unlike our stabilization or residential rehab programs, IOP allows you to live at home, work, and be active in the community while strengthening your recovery with IOP. Additionally, our IOP Program is the lowest level of care Peaks Recovery offers and is the step-down program from our PHP Program.

Our IOP Locations:

On our 11-acre Colorado Springs Campus

Is IOP the right level of care for you?

Reasons why IOP could be the right level of care:

You are returning from a short relapse and require fine-tuning and recovery support.
You are experiencing an uptick in your mental health disorder symptoms and need fine-tuning and support.
You are interested in achieving a successful recovery, but your substance use or mental health disorder does not meet the criteria for residential rehab
You have recently completed an inpatient/residential or PHP program, and your aftercare plan includes intensive outpatient services to achieve and maintain your recovery lifestyle.
You’re finding the aftercare plan given to you did not meet your needs, and you might be feeling fearful of a relapse.

Advanced Outpatient Services

Alongside our IOP Program, Peaks Recovery offers access to a broader range of evidence-based treatment options. When appropriate, individuals in IOP may engage in complementary services, such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), as part of a thoughtfully coordinated outpatient plan.

*Advanced outpatient services are not included in the standard program and may be incorporated on a case-by-case basis.

TMS Therapy

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a safe, effective, and FDA-cleared treatment proven to treat depression and other mood disorders in a non-invasive way.

What Are Peer Recovery Coaches?

Providing additional support for your success.

In addition to our IOP Program group sessions, Peaks Recovery provides individuals with a Certified Peer Recovery Coach to strengthen their community integration skills. While our IOP group therapy offers psychological and emotional support to better behavior and patterns, the Peer Recovery Coach guides in:

Reviewing the recovery wellness plan with each client to meet their specific and individualized needs
How to acquire needed resources, such as job interviews, finding other AA meetings, etc.
How to find basic necessities and complete daily tasks, such as establishing housing, grocery shop, or setting up bank accounts
Helping the individual find professional services, such as doctors, lawyers, psychologists, etc.
Function as an advocate outside of treatment
Help set personal goals
Sharing knowledge in experiences and lessons
Provide encouragement, support, praise, and motivation through hope and inspiration
Provide transportation to and from groups along with errands (within reason)
