Intensive Outpatient

IOP Substance Use & Mental Health Services

What is an IOP Program?

Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP) is an in-person ambulatory level of care. Unlike our Residential Rehab, 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:

Colorado Springs, CO, and Denver, CO

IOP Program Elements

Generally, IOP can last between 3 weeks to 3 months (based on medical necessity)
Requires a minimum of 9 hours per week, dispersed over 3 days (based on medical necessity)
Access to components of our Family Program
Access to our Case Management Team if needed
Access to MAT (Medication-Assisted Treatment)

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 uptake 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 inpatient treatment.
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.

What Are Peer Recovery Coaches?

Providing additional support for your recovery success

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
