Substance Use Intensive Outpatient

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for substance use disorders is ideal for adults who would benefit from a more structured treatment program on a part-time basis. The IOP program is designed to accommodate work and family life while seeking recovery. An IOP is effective in stabilizing patient symptoms, potentially limiting the need for higher levels of care such as hospital stays, and providing patients with an increased skillset and community resources to maintain their recovery.

Butler Hospital’s IOP fosters the development of relapse and recovery skills along with coping strategies necessary to manage patient’s co-occurring disorders.

Two locations with option for day or evening hours

Intensive outpatient services for substance use disorders are available on the Butler campus in Providence and Butler Outpatient Behavioral Health in South Kingstown. The locations are staffed with Care New England Medical Group physicians and clinicians and Butler Hospital staff. There are also options for morning and evening hours. Appointments are scheduled three to four times a week for three to four hours each day. Duration of treatment is determined by the patient’s progress; your treatment team will work with you to develop the best plan to maintain healthy behaviors.
