You’ve got a job to hold down, a family to show up for, and a hundred reasons not to fall apart. But there’s something eating away at you behind the scenes—and you’re running out of ways to ignore it.
That’s who we built our Intensive Outpatient Treatment for.
When You’re High-Functioning But Hiding the Hurt
Let’s get one thing straight: high-functioning doesn’t mean healthy. You might be showing up to work every day. Paying bills. Making dinner. Running meetings. But also…
- Drinking alone every night to come down.
- Taking pills just to get through the morning.
- Hiding bottles, excuses, or bruises that don’t match your life on paper.
We know that version of struggle. It doesn’t look chaotic from the outside. But inside? It’s exhausting.
You’re not broken. You’re just running out of ways to cope. And maybe you’re finally ready to stop managing the symptoms and start addressing the root.
Why We Built a Program That Doesn’t Ask You to Disappear
The traditional model of addiction treatment assumes one thing: you can stop everything, go away for 30 days, and come back to a clean slate.
But what if that’s not your life?
What if you’re the one everyone leans on? What if stepping away isn’t possible without risking your job, your kids’ stability, your reputation?
That’s the reality we built our IOP around.
At River Rocks Recovery, our Intensive Outpatient Treatment is designed specifically for:
- Professionals with high-pressure careers
- Parents who need to stay involved at home
- Caregivers with no one to tag in
- People who aren’t falling apart on the outside—but are drowning on the inside
You don’t have to hit rock bottom to qualify for support. You just have to be ready for change.
What Makes Our IOP Different
We designed this program with flexibility, discretion, and real recovery in mind. Here’s what makes our IOP work for people like you:
Evening Sessions
You don’t need to explain a midday absence or take a leave of absence. Our groups meet in the evening, after work hours—because healing should fit into your life, not force you to put it on pause.
Focused, Professional Therapy
This isn’t surface-level “check the box” treatment. We go deep—because you need more than clichés. Our licensed therapists understand the complexity of high-functioning addiction and tailor care to your lived reality.
Privacy You Can Trust
We respect your need for confidentiality. Whether you’re a local teacher, nurse, executive, or contractor, we protect your identity and your dignity.
Life-Integrated Recovery
Our IOP is rooted in the understanding that people need to keep living while they get better. We help you create strategies that work in the real world—not just inside a treatment center.
You’re Not Weak. You’re Just Tired.
High-functioning people are experts at hiding pain. You’ve learned how to white-knuckle it through the week, smile at the PTA meeting, hit performance goals, and fall apart in private.
Maybe you tell yourself:
- “I’m not that bad.”
- “I can handle it.”
- “Other people have it worse.”
But if you’re using substances to survive your life—something’s off. You don’t need a dramatic crash to justify reaching for help. Quiet suffering counts, too.
What We Hear All the Time (And What We Say Back)
“I don’t want to lose my job over this.”
You won’t. Our program is designed to protect your time, privacy, and career.
“I’m scared people will find out.”
They won’t. We offer discreet scheduling and a respectful intake process.
“I don’t have time for this.”
You don’t have time not to. Burnout and substance use always come with a cost. Our job is to make recovery less expensive than staying stuck.
“I’ve been holding it together this long…”
Exactly. You’re strong. And strength includes asking for help before things break.

You Can Stop the Slide—Before the Fall
We know you’ve been “managing” for a while. You’ve built systems to stay afloat. You’ve minimized the damage. Maybe no one even knows you’re struggling.
But if you’re reading this, some part of you knows it can’t keep going like this. And that part of you? That’s the part we’re here for.
You don’t have to wait until things blow up. You can get help now—quietly, respectfully, without walking away from everything you’ve worked so hard to build.
Frequently Asked Questions About Intensive Outpatient Treatment
What is Intensive Outpatient Treatment?
Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP) is a structured form of addiction recovery care that allows individuals to receive therapy and support while continuing to live at home. It typically includes group therapy, individual sessions, and skill-building—without the need for overnight stays.
How many hours a week is IOP at River Rocks Recovery?
Our IOP generally runs 5 evenings a week, with each session lasting approximately 3 hours. This schedule is designed to accommodate working adults and caregivers.
Can I still work while attending IOP?
Yes. That’s the entire point. Our program is specifically designed for high-functioning individuals who cannot leave work or pause their responsibilities.
Is the program confidential?
Absolutely. We take your privacy seriously. Intake is discreet, and your participation is never disclosed without your consent.
What types of therapy are included?
Our IOP includes:
- Group therapy with peers
- Individual therapy sessions
- Psychoeducation
- Mindfulness and coping skills
- Optional family sessions
Do I need to be sober before starting?
No. Many clients begin IOP while still using. We help create a plan that supports safe reduction or connects you with a detox resource if needed.
What if I’ve tried treatment before and it didn’t work?
That’s okay. Every experience is different—and our program isn’t one-size-fits-all. We build real-life recovery strategies, not just generic treatment steps.
