RECOVERY
INSTITUTE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
Programs / Intensive Outpatient
Back at work, back at school, back with your family — and still in serious treatment. IOP delivers nine to fifteen hours of clinical care a week on a schedule built around your actual life.
Each session is a three-hour block: a process group where the week's real situations get worked through, and a skills block — relapse prevention, craving management, communication, stress tolerance. Individual therapy continues every week, and psychiatry stays available throughout.
Accountability is part of the design: attendance tracking and random drug screening aren't punitive — they're the structure that makes early independence hold. Employers and courts that require documentation get it promptly, with your consent.
Most clients spend six to twelve weeks in IOP before stepping down to aftercare and alumni support as life stabilizes.
If cravings are constant, home isn't stable, or withdrawal is still in play, a higher level of care will serve you better. The assessment call sorts this out honestly.
Ask about the next IOP start date — new groups form continuously.
