While residential or inpatient addiction programs are the most commonly known approach to recovery, outpatient programs provide the same level of care with added flexibility, continued support, and lower costs. Contrary to common belief, many people struggling with addiction live relatively normal lives. This means that accessible outpatient programs are necessary. Evening intensive outpatient programs can be an excellent way for those with busy lives to receive the treatment they need without compromising their schedule.

What Is Outpatient Treatment for Addiction Recovery?
While inpatient treatment programs house clients for several weeks, outpatient programs ranging from partial hospitalization to intensive outpatient treatment, work with clients during the day and send them home at night. This provides flexibility around work, school, and home life. For many, outpatient treatment allows them to build new sober connections in the community and get frequent support in family therapy.
Outpatient programs are usually dual diagnosis, focused on mental health and addiction recovery. They often include:
- Individual therapy
- Group therapy
- Medication management
- Family therapy
- Job training
- Life skills training
- Medically assisted detox
- Step-down programs
- Alternative therapy
- 12-step programs
Outpatient programs vary in required hours, providing clients with the balance between treatment and the freedom they need. A PHP or partial hospitalization program requires the most clinic hours each week, while traditional outpatient treatment requires the fewest. The middle-ground treatment option is an intensive outpatient program called IOP. Clinical requirements for outpatient programs are standardized across the United States to ensure clients receive the level of care they need.
Finding an IOP in the Evening
Today, evening IOPs are increasingly popular. Because they require fewer hours than PHP programs, many people can keep jobs, home responsibilities, or school schedules while undergoing treatment. Evening IOPs require the same level of commitment as other outpatient programs. They are not suitable for everyone at every stage of recovery. An evening IOP may be right for you if you:
- Live in a safe, stable, sober home
- Are highly motivated to stay sober
- Are financially stable
- Have loved ones ready to attend family therapy together
- Have work or school commitments during the day
- Have a local support system
Finding an IOP in the evening with multiple therapies, dual diagnosis, and treatment for unresolved trauma is essential for many in recovery. An evening IOP boasting “quick fixes” or “cures” may be a scam. When looking for an evening IOP, check state and local government resources for recovery to ensure the program is legitimate. Consider travel time, distance, and time of year for evening treatment. During the winter months, other treatment options might be more accessible.
