Intensive Outpatient Program

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Hickory House is tailored for those whose current needs do not require residential treatment. Clients often begin IOP after completion of a residential treatment program (RTC). However, that is not a requirement, and clients seeking substance use IOP treatment are welcome from any referral source.

Our program meets three nights per week (M-W-Th) from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm and lasts a total of 10-12 weeks in duration. The focus of our program is to reinforce relapse prevention and early recovery skills while expanding knowledge of learned coping strategies and techniques. Our program has a heavy emphasis on processing current issues in each of the five dimensions of recovery (social, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual). As with our Residential Treatment Program, the IOP at Hickory House employs evidence-based treatment modalities for treating addiction and co-occurring disorders.

Our IOP patients also experience the benefits of wellness practices such as yoga and meditation. Not only do clients enjoy the physical activity and stress relief of yoga, but the tools of mindfulness gained through a weekly meditation practice have been shown to improve recovery outcomes, and serve as important coping skills in relapse prevention.

We will coordinate your treatment with your referring and current professionals to ensure a comprehensive approach that meets your individual needs.
We work with all major commercial health insurance programs and will verify your benefits prior to admission.
