An intensive outpatient program sits between inpatient/residential care and standard weekly outpatient therapy. Clients attend multiple structured sessions per week – typically three to five hours per session, several days a week – while continuing to live at home and manage daily responsibilities. This flexible treatment program allows you to continue your daily activities while receiving the support you need. At River Rocks Recovery, our IOP runs Monday through Wednesday from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, combining group therapy, individual check-ins, and psychoeducation focused on relapse prevention and emotional regulation.
IOP is designed for people who need more support than a once-a-week therapy appointment can offer, but who don’t require 24-hour supervision. It’s a common step-down after detox or a partial hospitalization program, and it’s also a strong entry point for someone who’s never been in formal treatment but recognizes they need more structure than they can build on their own.

Our IOP tends to work well for people who are medically stable, motivated to engage in treatment, and able to maintain some level of daily functioning – going to work, caring for family, attending school – while still needing structured clinical support several evenings a week. It’s also a fit for people stepping down from a higher level of care, like a Partial Hospitalization Program or residential detox, who aren’t ready to transition to once-weekly outpatient therapy alone.
IOP is not the right level of care for someone in acute crisis, actively withdrawing without medical support, or unable to remain safe outside a supervised setting – those situations call for inpatient or medically monitored detox first. If you’re not sure which category you or your loved one falls into, our admissions team can help you figure that out on the first call.

If you’re considering our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at River Rocks Recovery, you can anticipate a supportive and structured experience centered on your healing journey. Here’s what you can expect:
Standard outpatient therapy usually means one session a week – helpful for maintenance, but not enough structure for someone in early recovery or managing a recent relapse. IOP sits above that: three evenings a week, several hours each, with both group and individual components. Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) sits above IOP again – full days, five days a week, for people who need more clinical contact than IOP provides but don’t require overnight supervision.
Many clients move through more than one level: detox or residential care, then PHP, then IOP as they regain stability and independence. Others start directly in IOP if their needs match that level from the beginning. If you’re unsure which level fits your situation, explore all our treatment programs or call our admissions line – we’ll walk through your history and current needs together before recommending a starting point.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) sits above IOP again – full days, five days a week, for people who need more clinical contact than IOP provides but don’t require overnight supervision.
Both options at River Rocks Recovery are designed to support individuals on their recovery journey, tailored to meet their unique needs.

At River Rocks Recovery, our intensive outpatient program (IOP) helps people overcome different types of addictions. Here’s what we focus on:
Ohio has consistently ranked among the states hardest hit by the opioid crisis, and Butler County has not been an exception – a reality that shapes how our clinicians approach intake, medication management, and relapse risk from day one. We don’t treat addiction and mental health as separate problems handled by separate teams; the same clinicians address both throughout a client’s time in the program.
To determine if your insurance plan covers IOP at River Rocks Recovery, start by contacting your insurance provider for details. We accept most insurances as well as medicaid– proudly serving all. We also work with several other insurance providers, including Aetna Better Health, AmeriHealth, Molina, Buckeye, United Healthcare, CareSource, Humana, Anthem, and Medical Mutual, among other providers.
We’re here to support your journey to recovery. To learn more about our services or how we can assist you or your loved one, contact us at (888) 905-6281 or visit our facility.
Admissions starts with a phone call, not a waiting room. We’ll ask about your substance use or mental health history, any current medications, and what’s brought you to look for treatment now. That conversation usually takes 20 to 30 minutes and gives our clinical team enough information to recommend whether IOP is the right starting point or whether a different level of care makes more sense.
If IOP fits, we’ll schedule an intake assessment – typically within a few days – where a clinician meets with you individually to build your initial treatment plan. From there, you’re assigned to a group and given your schedule. Most clients who call on a Monday are in their first session by the same week.
