About What is Intensive Outpatient?
An Intensive Outpatient Program is a structured level of care that provides therapeutic and medical support while allowing clients to live at home and maintain daily responsibilities. Clients attend our program multiple days per week, participating in group therapy, individual appointments, and supervised meals. IOP is designed as a step-down from PHP and a step above standard outpatient care, providing the clinical intensity needed to sustain recovery while building real-world skills and independence.
Importance Importance of Intensive Outpatient
An IOP stay at Remedy Therapy Center is a critical step in the continuum of care for women moving toward greater independence in their recovery:
CONTINUED CLINICAL SUPPORT:
Our licensed clinical team provides consistent therapy, nutritional counseling, and psychiatric oversight throughout IOP. Clients maintain access to the same multidisciplinary team that supported them in higher levels of care, ensuring continuity and stability in treatment.
REAL-WORLD INTEGRATION:
IOP is where recovery skills meet daily life. Clients practice the tools they have learned in a real-world context, with clinical support to process challenges, setbacks, and progress as they arise.
EVIDENCE-BASED GROUP THERAPY:
Group sessions continue the evidence-based curriculum from PHP, including DBT skills, ACT, mindfulness-based CBT, body image restoration, and nutrition psychoeducation. Peer connection and shared accountability remain central to the IOP program experience.
MEDICAL AWARENESS:
While IOP does not require on-site nursing, our medical team remains involved in monitoring overall health, coordinating with outside providers, and ensuring any signs of instability are addressed promptly.
Peer Support:
Recovery is strengthened through connection. Our IOP program brings together adult women facing similar challenges in a supportive, structured setting where they can build community, share experiences, and feel less alone in their recovery. Through group therapy, meal support, and therapeutic activities, clients receive encouragement, accountability, and peer support while continuing to apply the clinical tools they are learning in treatment.
TRANSITION TO INDEPENDENT LIVING:
IOP is designed to build confidence and self-sufficiency. Our team actively works alongside clients on aftercare planning, outpatient therapy connections, and long-term relapse prevention strategies from day one.
IOP FAQs About Our IOP Program
An IOP program at Remedy Therapy Center is an important step for individuals ready to continue their recovery with clinical support while rebuilding their daily life
How long does our IOP program last?
IOP length depends on individual clinical progress and needs. Most clients participate for several weeks to a few months. Our team reviews treatment plans regularly to ensure the level of care continues to match each client’s goals and recovery trajectory.
WHAT DOES A TYPICAL IOP SCHEDULE LOOK LIKE?
IOP sessions take place multiple days per week, with a combination of individual therapy, registered dietitian sessions, psychiatric follow-up, and evidence-based group programming. The schedule is designed to provide consistent clinical engagement while allowing clients to maintain daily life, work, or school responsibilities.
Will I have medical monitoring during treatment?
Yes. Eating disorders can affect the body in ways that are not always immediately visible. Throughout our IOP, your treatment team monitors your physical health, coordinates with outside medical providers, and ensures that any signs of instability are identified and addressed quickly. Your safety is a priority at every level of care.
How do I know if Remedy is the right fit?
Start with a conversation and a clinical assessment. The goal is to understand what is happening, what level of care is appropriate, and whether the program matches the client’s needs.
WHAT THERAPIES ARE USED IN IOP FOR EATING DISORDERS?
Our IOP curriculum draws from the same six-week rotating evidence-based model used in PHP, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR-informed trauma therapy, body image restoration, and nutrition psychoeducation. Facilitators include licensed therapists, registered dietitians, and psychiatric providers.
WHAT IF I HAVE CO-OCCURRING ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, OR TRAUMA?
Our IOP includes specialized clinical support for co-occurring mood disorders, trauma, substance use, and personality disorders. We treat the full picture because addressing only the eating disorder without the underlying factors does not produce lasting recovery.
Can my family or partner be involved?
They can be. Family involvement may include family therapy and education so loved ones know how to support recovery without slipping into control, conflict, or avoidance.
