Not everyone can step away from their responsibilities for weeks at a time to get the help they need. That’s where Solace Treatment Center comes in. Our Intensive Outpatient Program in Whittier offers a powerful alternative—one that provides structure and therapy without requiring a full-time residential stay.
Whether you’re stepping down from a higher level of care or starting your recovery journey while balancing work, school, or family, an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) gives you the tools to heal in a flexible, supportive environment.
What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program?
An Intensive Outpatient Program is a structured form of treatment designed for individuals who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy, but who don’t require 24/7 supervision. It typically includes:
9 to 20 hours of therapy per week
A combination of individual therapy, group sessions, and psychoeducation
Ongoing case management and recovery planning
Access to mental health and substance use counseling
Family involvement, when appropriate
At Solace’s Intensive Outpatient Program in Whittier, clients receive personalized care that fits their schedule—often attending sessions in the mornings or evenings to maintain life outside of treatment.
Who Can Benefit from an IOP?
Our Intensive Outpatient Program in Whittier is ideal for:
People transitioning from detox or residential treatment
Individuals with stable living environments but ongoing treatment needs
Working professionals or parents needing a flexible schedule
Those seeking relapse prevention and continued therapy after previous treatment
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), outpatient programs like IOP are a proven part of the continuum of care and can be highly effective when combined with a supportive home environment and motivation to heal.

IOP vs. PHP vs. Residential Treatment
Wondering how an IOP compares to other levels of care? Here’s a quick breakdown:
| Level of Care | Hours/Week | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Residential/Inpatient | 24/7 | High acuity or unsafe home environment |
| PHP (Partial Hospitalization) | ~30–35 hours/week | Step-down from inpatient or moderate need |
| IOP (Intensive Outpatient) | ~9–20 hours/week | Stable living but still needs structured care |
| Traditional Outpatient | ~1–5 hours/week | Maintenance or early-stage support |
If you’re unsure which level fits your needs, our admissions team can help assess and recommend the best option.
