Our Services

The mission of The Creed of Recovery IOP is to provide a scheduled series of integrated substance use/mental health sessions appropriate to the person centered plans of persons served. These may include services provided during evenings and on week days and/or interventions delivered by a variety of service providers in the community.   

The program may function as a step down from a higher level of care such as partial hospitalization, detoxification/withdrawal support, or residential services; however, the program may also be used to prevent or minimize the need for a more intensive level of treatment.   

IOP is considered to be more intensive than traditional outpatient services largely due to the amount of time spent weekly in direct services. The IOP program requires a minimum of nine direct contact hours per week. The direct contact hours include individual counseling/therapy, family counseling, and group therapy.
