Finding the right support for addiction recovery is an important step. At Sophros Recovery, our intensive outpatient program (IOP) in Jacksonville, FL, provides structured, flexible addiction treatment for individuals who need more support than weekly therapy but don’t require 24/7 residential or inpatient care. Our therapy-first approach is designed to help you or your loved one build a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
Through a holistic, whole-person model of care, clients receive group and individual therapy, dedicated case management, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when clinically appropriate. We also focus on family involvement, relapse prevention, and personalized step-down planning to support long-term success beyond treatment.
We understand that balancing recovery with work, school, and family responsibilities can be challenging. To make treatment more accessible, we offer daytime, evening, and virtual IOP options that allow clients to receive the support they need while maintaining their daily commitments.
An intensive outpatient program provides structured addiction treatment several days per week while allowing clients to live at home and maintain work, school, and family responsibilities. Unlike inpatient treatment, clients don’t stay overnight. Compared to traditional weekly therapy, an IOP offers more support, accountability, and opportunities to build recovery skills.
An IOP often serves as a step-down level of care after detoxification, inpatient treatment, or residential rehab. It can also be a good option for individuals who need more support than standard outpatient therapy.1 Most IOPs include multiple therapy sessions each week to help clients strengthen coping skills, address underlying challenges, and maintain progress in recovery.
For those with a stable living environment, an IOP can also be an effective starting point for addiction treatment. The program length of an IOP varies based on individual needs, goals, and progress, with treatment recommendations tailored by your care team to provide the right level of support for long-term recovery.

Each client's IOP care plan is personalized. Depending on your needs, your IOP treatment may include:
Sophros Recovery follows a therapy-first approach that combines evidence-based treatment with whole-person support. MAT may be incorporated when clinically appropriate, but therapy remains the foundation of care. Our team supports both 12-step and non-12-step recovery pathways, including SMART Recovery, to help clients find an approach that aligns with their goals.
IOP may be a good fit for individuals who:
Clients comparing a partial hospitalization program with an intensive outpatient program often find that an IOP offers greater flexibility while still providing structured treatment. If you're unsure which level of care is appropriate, reviewing inpatient vs. outpatient treatment options with an admissions specialist can help.
Important note: An IOP is not designed for individuals experiencing medical emergencies, severe withdrawal symptoms, or situations requiring immediate crisis stabilization.
Our treatment schedules vary based on a client’s needs and clinical recommendations. Here is a sample of an IOP schedule:
As recovery progresses, clients often reduce treatment frequency and transition into lower-intensity outpatient services while maintaining ongoing support.
Understanding the different levels of care for addiction treatment can help you choose the support that best fits your needs, recovery goals, and daily responsibilities.
Treatment recommendations are based on clinical assessments and each client's recovery needs.
Insurance providers often cover medically necessary addiction treatment services, though insurance coverage varies by plan, provider, and authorization requirements. Sophros Recovery works with many insurance carriers and can help review your benefits, including:
Our admissions team can verify benefits and explain available treatment options before you begin care. Coverage cannot be guaranteed until your insurance provider reviews and confirms the benefits.
