Intensive Outpatient Program Serious Treatment That Fits a Working Week

IOP gives you several hours of structured therapy a few days a week—mornings or evenings—so you can get real, consistent treatment while keeping your job, your classes, and your responsibilities at home. It’s the level of care most people can build an actual recovery routine around.

Who IOP is for

The level of care that meets real life head-on

IOP fits when you need more than weekly therapy but can’t step away from work or family, when you’re stepping down from PHP and want to keep momentum, or when you’re starting mental health or addiction treatment and need flexibility from day one.

How IOP works

Enough structure to change things, enough flex to keep your life

A rhythm you can actually sustain—and grow from.

  • 01

    Pick a schedule that fits

    Morning or evening tracks, 3–5 days a week, so treatment works around your shifts, classes, or childcare—not the reverse.

  • 02

    Small-group therapy

    Skills-based groups—CBT, DBT, relapse prevention—kept small so you’re a person in the room, not a face in a crowd.

  • 03

    Individual & psychiatric support

    Regular one-on-one sessions and medication management, coordinated with your group work.

  • 04

    Step down as you stabilize

    As you get stronger, sessions taper and we build your long-term support plan so progress holds after you finish.

“Real Deal is without a doubt the most structured and therapeutic rehab program I have ever attended. It has brought me to one year in sobriety and I don't know what I would have done had I not participated in the program. I highly recommend Real Deal to anyone struggling with alcohol and/or drugs. It's amazing. Just try it and you will see for yourself!”

“I love all of these guys. These guys made me feel better. They made me think better. I don't feel those ways anymore. Before I came here, I was certain I wouldn't be alive for much longer. These guys fixed that.”

“The Real Deal is an incredible program that prioritizes accessibility more than almost any other PHP, IOP, and Housing program. With housing fees at lower price point than a majority of sober livings, the option to have your pet with you, and a supportive recovery community, they really do try to eliminate barriers to care as much as possible.”
