Flexible Intensive Therapy
Our Intensive Outpatient Program provides clinical support through flexible morning or evening programming. IOP may follow the completion of a residential treatment program, or serve as the program of choice if a residential program isn't medically or clinically indicated.
Program Details
Our Intensive Outpatient Program is designed for individuals who require a substantial level of support and treatment for substance use disorder and co-occurring issues, but who don't need round-the-clock supervision. The program can be used as a stand-alone course of treatment, or as a "step down" from a higher level of care, such as our Residential Treatment or Partial Hospitalization programs. The flexible nature of IOP makes it a good solution for individuals with work and family obligations that may prevent them from choosing one of our other programs.
Our IOP is offered at our warm and welcoming treatment center in central Houston. While program duration is dependent on an individual's needs, most clients move through IOP in 8 to 12 weeks. Programming takes place for three hours a day, three days a week, onsite at our outpatient treatment center. Our flexible morning and evening options allow clients to receive intensive treatment with minimal disruptions to their daily routine.
Intensive outpatient programming is less structured than PHP. Our IOP includes a combination of individual therapy, group therapy and educational group sessions, and clients are also provided with exercises to work through outside of in-person therapy and treatment. Family therapy is often integrated into IOP, allowing family members to become part of the healing journey.

We provide regular progress assessments and undertake weekly random drug screenings for individuals with substance use disorders to help monitor their progress and maintain accountability.
Psychoeducation sessions allow individuals to learn more about their condition, treatment options, and coping strategies. Along with evidence-based topics focusing on recovery, the following topics are addressed during IOP:
Therapists in Luna's IOP help individuals develop a plan for transitioning to lower levels of care or ongoing outpatient therapy once they complete the program. This may involve connecting participants with outpatient providers, support groups, or other resources to continue their recovery.
Flexible scheduling allows participants to accommodate their work, school, or family commitments, and clients have the option to attend day or evening IOP services.
