Intensive Outpatient Programs for Adults

Our Center City location offers intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for adults (ages 18+). The IOP program provides a more structured program than weekly counseling sessions with a therapist. The core IOP treatment method involves group therapy sessions—individual and family counseling sessions can be scheduled on an as-needed basis.

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)

Clients will learn to develop coping mechanisms and improve their skill set to apply to their overall wellness.

For adults who need more frequent counseling sessions, intensive outpatient provides a higher level of support. You will participate in both group and individual therapy and learn how to cope with stress without turning to alcohol or drugs.  Evening IOP groups for substance use and co-occurring disorders are available at our Center City Philadelphia location – ideal for clients needing flexibility to work or attend school.
