Colorado’s Best Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides structured, therapeutic support for individuals working to overcome substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health concerns, while still maintaining important aspects of daily life such as family responsibilities, work, or school.

At A New Outlook Recovery Services, our Substance Use IOP is an 8–12 week program designed for people who are ready for consistent, focused treatment, but who do not require residential or inpatient care. Our approach emphasizes individualized planning, evidence-informed practices, and a supportive environment that helps clients develop the tools needed to strengthen stability and sustained wellbeing.

Personalized and Comprehensive Care

Everyone’s path to recovery is unique. Our clinical teams—made up of trained therapists, counselors, and behavioral health professionals—assess both the medical and psychological aspects of substance use to ensure each client receives care aligned with their needs and goals.

Your treatment plan may include:

  • Individual counseling
  • Group therapy
  • Skills-building and educational sessions
  • Coordination with outside providers when appropriate

Collaboration is central to our work. Treatment decisions are made together with each client so they understand the purpose and structure of their plan.

An Evidence-Based Curriculum

Our Substance Use IOP incorporates well-established, research-supported therapeutic models that help individuals understand patterns, develop coping strategies, and build a solid foundation for recovery.

The program includes:

  • Twelve-Step Facilitation (TSF): Supports engagement with recovery communities and structured self-reflection.
  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): Helps build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Addresses the relationship between thoughts, behaviors, and substance use patterns to foster healthier decision-making.

These methods are woven into a structured program that promotes accountability, self-awareness, and personal growth.

What to Expect From an 8–12 Week IOP

Clients typically participate several days per week in scheduled therapeutic sessions. The program focuses on:

  • Building insight into substance use triggers
  • Developing healthier coping strategies
  • Increasing emotional resilience
  • Strengthening recovery-oriented habits
  • Supporting relapse prevention

The goal is to offer meaningful, consistent support while allowing clients to continue living at home and engaging in their daily lives.
