IOP Program

For those who do not need continuous medical supervision or have successfully completed a residential treatment program, an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) presents a highly effective and adaptable treatment option. Understanding the features and benefits of an IOP in Los Angeles is crucial for making an informed decision for your health, future, and the well-being of your loved ones.

At Life Line Treatment Center, our top-rated IOP is chosen by many for the following reasons:

• Flexible schedule: 3 hours a day, 3-5 days a week
• In-person and virtual appointments
• Morning, noon, and evening tracks
• Acceptance of most insurances

What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?

Life Line Treatment Center’s IOP offers a flexible and personalized approach to recovery, catering to various client needs. IOP can serve as a step-down option after residential treatment or partial hospitalization programs (PHP), a transition from traditional outpatient therapy, or as an initial level of care for some individuals.

Our IOP programs run 3 hours a day, 3-5 days a week, and are distinguished by their adaptability. Clients participate in a mix of individual and group therapy sessions tailored to their specific needs. Our services also include case management, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and family support services to provide comprehensive support.

IOP vs. PHP

Our PHP programs are 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, while our IOP programs are 3 hours a day, 3-5 days a week. The choice between IOP and PHP depends on several factors, such as prior treatment history and the strength of your support system at home. The primary difference is that IOP is intended for those with moderate to mild symptoms who do not require inpatient treatment. IOP is often recommended as a follow-up to inpatient care or a step down from PHP when symptoms are under control.
