Structured Support for Recovery
Comprehensive Intensive Outpatient Groups
Our IOP provides a step-down level of care for individuals who have completed inpatient treatment or those seeking comprehensive support without the need for hospitalization. It offers flexibility while maintaining structure and accountability.
Initial Assessment:
Each patient begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine their specific treatment needs. This assessment helps create an individualized treatment plan.
Weekly Schedule:
IOP typically involves multiple therapy sessions each week, usually three times per week for a few hours per session. This allows patients to balance treatment with work, school, or family commitments.
Therapy Focus:
Patients engage in a mix of group therapy, individual counseling, and skills-based sessions focusing on relapse prevention, coping strategies, and emotional regulation. These sessions are led by licensed therapists who specialize in addiction and mental health recovery.
Ongoing Monitoring and Support:
Throughout the program, patients receive continuous monitoring and feedback from their care team, with adjustments made to their treatment plan as needed. This ensures that progress is steady and that the patient receives the support they need at every step.
Completion and Aftercare:
At the end of the IOP, patients receive a discharge plan that includes aftercare recommendations, such as ongoing therapy or participation in support groups, to ensure lasting recovery.
Each patient in the IOP receives a personalized treatment plan, which includes group therapy, individual counseling, and medication management, all tailored to meet their unique needs.
Pathway Healthcare exclusively offers a virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), giving patients the flexibility to access high-quality care from the comfort of home. Our virtual IOP is designed to provide the same comprehensive support and structure as traditional in-person treatment, ensuring that patients receive expert guidance and therapy, no matter where they are located.
IOP emphasizes group therapy, where patients can share experiences, develop coping strategies, and build a support network. This sense of community is key to fostering long-term recovery and emotional resilience.
Our IOP encourages family participation to ensure that loved ones are included in the healing process. Family therapy and education help strengthen relationships and create a strong support system.
For any questions, please call us at 662-434-4210 or send an email to iop@pathwayhealthcare.com. We’re here to help!
