Our Shared Commitment to Your Recovery

We know that life is busy, and entering into an IOP program is a big commitment. Oftentimes, our patients struggle with deciding whether to invest in their recovery now by entering an IOP program, or to risk waiting until a time when their addiction (and the damage it has done to their lives and relationships) may have gotten worse.

These are personal decisions that no one but you can make. But what we can offer you is our commitment that we will ensure that the time and effort that you put into your recovery is rewarded by the transformation that you see in yourself, your relationships, and your quality of life.

A review of 12 studies and one review published between 1995 and 2012 found that IOPs and PHPs produced similar reductions in drug and alcohol use and increases in days abstinent compared to inpatient or residential programs.
