What is an Intensive Outpatient Program?

The program combines individualized treatment planning, one-on-one counseling, group therapy, educational sessions, and—when clinically appropriate—medication management. Family involvement is strongly encouraged, as engaging loved ones in the recovery process significantly improves outcomes. Group sessions cover a wide range of topics, including personal growth, alcohol and drug education, assertiveness training, denial and acceptance, family dynamics, living sober, health education, and parenting issues in recovery when appropriate.
By blending professional guidance with peer support, Breakthrough Recovery Group’s IOP equips clients with coping strategies, relapse-prevention skills, and practical tools for long-term recovery. The program’s tailored approach ensures each individual receives care suited to their unique needs, all within a safe and supportive environment that allows them to continue living at home while building a foundation for lasting wellness.

How a Intensive Outpatient Programs Helps With Addiction

An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Breakthrough Recovery provides flexible, structured treatment for addiction while allowing individuals to maintain work, school, and family responsibilities. Through scheduled therapy sessions, relapse prevention planning, and ongoing accountability, IOP helps clients strengthen coping skills and apply recovery strategies in real-life situations. This level of care supports continued progress after higher levels of treatment or offers a step-up option for those who need consistent support without residential care. By combining structure with independence, our Intensive Outpatient Program helps individuals build stability and sustain long-term recovery.

– Jimmy M.

"Breakthrough Recovery has literally helped save my life. The counselors are amazing, the staff is incredible and the atmosphere is perfect! They have been very accommodating and work to make sure I am getting the most I possibly can out of each session. I truly can not say enough about this wonderful facility. I'm not sure I would be alive today without them."

– Briana B.

"Staff here are very nice and helpful, this place offers more than just 'sit down and talk' for one's recovery but so much more! Everyone here quickly become your second family!"

- Edith R.

"So glad to have made the decision to get sober and come here for help. I really can’t thank God and the
staff enough for their tremendous efforts and help through this part of my journey."

"I learned so much during the groups."

"The staff counselors listened and cared about what each person had to say and nobody was judged.
"

"The constant push for us to give feedback during group. This brings people out their comfort zone and builds confidence within them…and their peers/group. It also makes other people realize that they too can share. As far as my counseling via one/one…it’s good to be able to reflect on what I’m doing outside of group and what or how I can fine tune my recovery…it’s a designated time specifically for my recovery alone. That’s important…knowing I’m on track is vital. Thanks! I appreciate the honest questions and answers here at Breakthrough. Some IOP’s have that feel of only being in it for the money…that wasn’t my experience here at all. My motto is, One decision at a time! I feel that Breakthrough understands that and supports that."

"The biggest benefit was having the most knowledgeable and caring staff. It was all about the people for me. The actual space where the recovery took place was amazing as well. Top notch, best treatment I could ever imagine. Having not personally been in any other treatment programs before, I was thrilled to have experienced this facility because of the positive reviews. I am a walking success story of what Breakthrough Recovery Group can do for someone who is suffering from alcohol abuse."

"Loved it here gonna miss everyone and my groups I had."

"The groups were awesome. Welcoming environment for myself and people who were new."

"My experience at Breakthrough was phenomenal. From counselors to admin staff, I felt valued and cared for as an individual during a vulnerable time of my life."

"The amount of support I received when it comes to sharing my thoughts in both a large group and one-on-one setting, as well as listening to other peoples' journeys, having my treatment experience shaped in beneficial ways through all of this and learning more about myself and what I'm able to achieve in life. The support staff and counselors are all exceptional and friendly and engaging."

"I truly am grateful for the support and hope people wanting to change make it here."

"Great program that was very beneficial for my recovery."

"I really enjoyed the group therapy and the ability to speak with others going through the same process as myself. It was reassuring to be able to talk with other people in a comfortable setting."

"I would recommend this facility to others. I felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere."

"Thank you for being a part of my recovery."

"Very good and very supportive. Cory was the best counselor. He called me out when I was wrong and told me what to change. I will always be grateful for him."

"Cory & Jina played a huge role in my recovery journey. From Cory’s interactive groups to Jina’s personalized individual sessions, I am confident in leaving Breakthrough with confidence in who I am and my sobriety! I will be recommending Breakthrough to anyone who is looking for substance abuse support!"

"The DBT therapy was critical for me by far (led by Rachael) but I do feel my ability as a parent was nurtured by Cory during the groups I attended with him."

"I enjoyed coming here because I have had many family members and friends go through similar programs and not received the love and acceptance I received here, they work on your personal self rather than just running you through the typical addiction videos. I felt like I was at home and that made me want to become a better version of myself. Happy to be a part of this facility."

"Choice theory I feel helped me the most in my experience on understanding and figuring out a new way to live my life. Your program helped me through one of the most challenging times in my life and gave me knowledge in many different ways through mental health, physical health and on how to eat healthier all of which has helped me maintain my sobriety and gave me ways to continue my sobriety throughout my life. Thank you very much, God bless."

"I would recommend BTRG to any friend or relatives 100%."

"I believe the mutual struggles and shared experiences of not only the group members but also the counselors were the most helpful and uplifting part of this process. Nothing but great things to say about the entire staff and curriculum of Breakthrough! Many thanks to Jina for her help and support!!!"

"Appreciate all of Jina’s feedback and direction."

"Super kind and caring people and I’m happy to have had them show me different ways to help with cravings and continue my sobriety! Thank you all for the program and the lessons I’ve learned I appreciate everybody. Everybody I’ve met here is super kind and the facility was overall an A+."

"Was a great experience all around."

"Will recommend to anyone that is seeking help."

"Group therapy has been the single most impactful part of my recovery. It's given great perspective and strength. Thank you! I feel like a new person."

"How considerate the staff was to my personal needs and worked around my schedule to make my reintegration back into society."

"Being able to have a safe place to talk about my problems and getting feedback from counselors and peers. Overall, an amazing place to help you get sober and help you realize your goals are more important than staying in addiction. I enjoyed my time here at Breakthrough. The staff is amazing and caring. Without this place I wouldn’t have the mindset that I have now and I’m forever grateful."

"Having a safe space to discuss struggles and wins in a judgement free zone was massive, helping to build a support system and methods to manage not only cravings but negative behaviors and habits to help me continue to work on a better version of myself. This place was great; the people were great including staff. I feel it was a massively beneficial thing to me as a person and certainly recommend this place to anyone else struggling with substance abuse."

"Breakthrough was a wonderful experience; I learned a lot and the staff was great."
