Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for Opioid Addiction in North Hollywood

For people who need more structure than traditional outpatient care but cannot commit to residential treatment, an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for opioid addiction in North Hollywood offers the middle ground. IOP provides frequent, structured therapy and support while you continue living at home, working, and caring for your family.

At Pink Chances Med Corp in Tujunga, we integrate IOP-style counseling with medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to serve patients from North Hollywood, Studio City, and the greater San Fernando Valley.

What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program?

An IOP is a structured treatment program that typically involves several therapy sessions per week, often lasting a few hours each. It is more intensive than standard outpatient care but does not require an overnight stay. IOPs are designed for people stepping down from inpatient care or those whose addiction is serious but manageable outside a residential setting.

Core Components of an IOP

Group Therapy

Group sessions are the heart of most IOPs, offering peer support, shared learning, and accountability. Explore our group counseling services.

Individual Counseling

One-on-one therapy addresses personal triggers, trauma, and recovery goals. See our individual counseling program.

Relapse Prevention and Education

Skill-building sessions teach coping strategies, trigger management, and relapse prevention techniques alongside addiction education.

Medication Support

For opioid use disorder, IOP is most effective when paired with MAT like buprenorphine or methadone.

Who Benefits From an IOP?

  • Those stepping down from inpatient or residential treatment
  • People with supportive home environments
  • Individuals who need structure but cannot pause work or family duties
  • Patients with co-occurring mental health needs requiring coordinated care
