An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a structured level of care for individuals working to overcome mental health or substance use challenges. It offers more support than standard outpatient therapy while allowing participants to begin reintegrating into daily life. IOP typically includes group therapy, individual counseling, and ongoing guidance from professional staff.
At this level of care, participants often begin returning to work or preparing for employment through structured support and skill-building. Many also start developing financial stability, including saving toward future housing. Mana Recovery’s IOP provides a safe, sober, and supportive environment to help individuals make these important transitions. We are proud to offer services at our Maui center, where participants and families can access compassionate, evidence-based care.

An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Mana Recovery typically lasts 4–6 weeks, with the exact length depending on clinical needs and progress. Our program includes group therapy, individual counseling, and skill-building activities, all facilitated by licensed therapists and professional staff.
During IOP, participants strengthen coping skills, develop a reliable support network, and begin preparing for greater independence. This stage of care often includes returning to work or learning job-readiness skills, along with planning for financial stability and future housing. Family therapy may also be part of the process, helping loved ones understand and support recovery.
Unlike residential or inpatient treatment, IOP does not require living at a treatment center — participants attend structured sessions several days per week while continuing to build stability in a safe and sober environment.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) provide structure and accountability during a critical stage of recovery. This support helps participants strengthen coping strategies, manage triggers, and build confidence in daily life. IOP can also be more affordable than higher levels of care, making it a practical option for many individuals and families.
Key benefits of IOP include:
Structured therapeutic support while maintaining real-world responsibilities
Guidance from the same experienced therapists and professional staff available in higher levels of care
A cost-effective alternative to residential or inpatient treatment
A gradual step-down that eases the transition back into community life
Development of skills and habits that reduce relapse risk over time
