IOP stands for "intensive outpatient program" and is a type of mental healthcare that offers structured treatment for mental health and substance misuse concerns. IOPs are designed to provide support and therapy to individuals battling various forms of addiction and mental health disorders, including substance use disorders, eating disorders, depression, and self-harm. Unlike inpatient programs, where individuals live within the treatment facility, IOPs allow individuals to live at home and continue with their daily lives while receiving treatment. IOPs offer a valuable treatment option for those seeking help with addiction or mental health disorders, providing the structure and support of traditional inpatient programs while allowing individuals to maintain their daily routines and responsibilities.
