Coastwise Recovery Center

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Flexible, structured substance abuse treatment that fits around your life — not the other way around.

Rebuilding Your Life in Recovery

Our Intensive Outpatient Program is designed for those who have achieved initial sobriety and are transitioning toward independent living. IOP provides the clinical support you need while giving you the flexibility to rebuild your routines, develop new interests, return to work, and reconnect with family.

This is where recovery starts to look like real life. You attend 3 to 5 days per week, with sessions lasting 3 hours each — enough structure to keep you accountable, with enough flexibility to keep your life moving forward.

Key Program Benefits

Comprehensive Treatment

A full continuum of clinical care addressing substance use, mental health, and the underlying causes of addiction in a flexible outpatient format.

Assessments & Treatment Planning

Thorough clinical assessments using ASAM criteria guide individualized treatment plans that evolve as you progress through recovery.

Medical Evaluation & Follow-up

Initial medical evaluation and ongoing follow-up with our psychiatric team ensures your physical and mental health needs are continuously addressed.

Licensed Clinicians

Two weekly individual therapy sessions with Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) who specialize in addiction and co-occurring disorders.

Building Community

Small group settings of up to 6 clients create meaningful connections, shared accountability, and a supportive recovery community.

Family Involvement

Regular family sessions help rebuild communication, trust, and healthy dynamics — because recovery is strongest when families heal together.

Mental Health Issues

Integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma — treated alongside substance use, not separately.

Life-Changing Coping Skills

Building the emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal skills you need to navigate life without substances.

Comprehensive Case Management

A dedicated case manager coordinates all aspects of your care — housing, legal, vocational, and medical needs — so you can focus on recovery.

What to Expect

IOP at Coastwise provides 3 hours of daily programming, 3 to 5 days per week. Your schedule is structured around clinical and holistic activities designed to support your continued recovery:

  • Two individual therapy sessions weekly with licensed clinicians
  • One case management session weekly with your dedicated case manager
  • Weekly or biweekly psychiatrist appointments for medication management and psychiatric evaluation
  • Group therapy in small, intimate settings of up to 6 clients
