Our Wilmington IOP serves adults 18 and older who need more support than weekly outpatient therapy but don’t require an overnight stay.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a mid-level of care that provides multiple therapy sessions per week without overnight stays. It’s ideal if you’re stepping down from residential/PHP—or if you need more support than weekly outpatient but still want to live at home. Research shows IOPs are a vital part of the treatment continuum and can achieve outcomes comparable to inpatient/residential care for many people when appropriately matched.
Round-the-clock care in a safe, structured setting for people who need medical support and greater stabilization.
Structured treatment during the day with intensive therapy and support, while allowing clients to return home in the evening.
Multiple therapy sessions per week while you continue living at home, working, and caring for everyday responsibilities.
Continued therapy with greater scheduling flexibility to help clients build on progress and maintain recovery.
Ongoing resources, accountability, and community support to help you maintain recovery and thrive over time.
IOP offers a balance of structured treatment and everyday flexibility. The Lotus Recovery Centers team can help determine which level of care fits your needs.
Choosing a level of care comes down to how much structure you need right now. A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) runs roughly 5–6 hours a day, five days a week, and suits people stepping down from residential care or needing daily support. IOP typically runs 3–5 days a week for about 3 hours per session — enough structure to protect early recovery while you work, study, or care for family. Standard Outpatient (OP) is the lightest touch, usually one or two sessions a week, and works well as a step-down once IOP goals are met. Many adults move through this continuum in sequence, and we help you right-size your care as you progress.
Our IOP supports adults recovering from alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder (including heroin and prescription opioids), benzodiazepine dependence such as Xanax or Klonopin, and stimulant use involving cocaine or methamphetamine. Many people arrive managing more than substance use alone. When depression, anxiety, trauma, or another mental health condition is part of the picture, we treat both together rather than in isolation, since untreated mental health symptoms are a common driver of relapse.
Cost is one of the first questions people ask, and it shouldn’t be a barrier to starting. We accept Medicaid, Medicare, and most private insurance, and for many patients IOP is covered with little to no out-of-pocket cost. Your actual cost depends on your plan, your deductible, and how many sessions you attend per week. Our Wilmington team verifies your benefits before you start — often same-day — so you know what to expect before your first session.
