Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Atlanta, GA
The New View Wellness Intensive Outpatient Program in Atlanta balances a structured connection to quality clinical services with ample opportunities for independent living. Whether you are stepping down from a higher level of care or entering treatment for the first time, our IOP may be the ideal option for you.
What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?
The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at New View Wellness is a flexible treatment option for individuals whose lives have been impacted by mental illness and co-occurring addiction.
On the treatment continuum, an IOP falls between partial hospitalization programming (PHP) and traditional outpatient counseling. As is also the case with these other levels, our IOP does not have a residential requirement. Participants only need to be at our center when treatment is in session.
Many people step down to the IOP level for continued support after they have completed a residential program or a PHP. Others step up to an IOP after taking part in outpatient counseling and realizing they need a higher level of care.
You are not alone. You deserve to get help.

Who is a Good Candidate for our IOP program in Atlanta?
We make all admissions decisions for our IOP program in Atlanta on a case-by-case basis. To determine if this program is the right place for each prospective client, we closely review information such as their treatment history, current needs, strengths, and both short- and long-term goals.
In general, you may be a good candidate for our IOP if you meet criteria such as the following:
- You are an adult (age 18 or above).
- You have developed a mental health condition that has affected your quality of life.
- You need more robust treatment than you can receive via outpatient counseling.
- You do not need round-the-clock care.
- You have a safe and supportive place to stay while you are in treatment. This may include your own home or a supported residence.
IOP vs PHP: What's the Difference?
The primary difference between an IOP and a PHP is the amount of care you will receive on a daily and weekly basis.
- A PHP usually features full days of treatment, five days per week. This typically adds up to 25-30 hours of care each week.
- At the IOP level, you may receive three to five hours of care per day. You may also only participate in treatment three or four days each week. This means that your weekly time in treatment may range from nine to 20 hours.
Another difference is the scope of services that are usually included in treatment.
With more hours per day and per week, a PHP has the time to offer a broader array of services. At the IOP level, your treatment options may be more limited. For example, group therapy is often the main method of care at the IOP level, with individual sessions offered less frequently than in a PHP.
Of course, when you receive care at an IOP program in Atlanta, you will have a greater degree of scheduling flexibility and more free time.
You can work with your treatment team to design the schedule that is best for you. This means you may have more time to work, attend classes, take part in volunteer activities, and otherwise fully engage in a productive lifestyle.
