What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?
An intensive outpatient program, or IOP, gives you several therapy sessions each week without a live-in stay. You get more support than weekly counseling, with more flexibility than residential treatment.
IOP works well for people who need structure, but still need to work, study, care for family, or stay connected to their home life.
At Texas Helps in San Marcos, IOP includes group therapy, individual counseling, relapse prevention, and medication support when appropriate. Intensive outpatient care is a common next step for individuals after finishing detox or residential treatment. For others, this might be the starting point if regular outpatient care doesn’t supply enough support.

How IOP Compares to PHP and Residential Care
The right level of care depends on your symptoms, home support, and recovery goals. Texas Helps helps you find the level of care most suited to your needs.
IOP vs. PHP (Partial Hospitalization)
PHP offers more treatment hours each week. IOP offers a lower weekly time commitment while still giving you structured therapy and support.
IOP vs. Residential Treatment
Residential treatment includes a live-in stay. IOP lets you return home after sessions while staying connected to regular treatment.
Who an IOP Program Is Right For
