Understanding the difference between PHP and IOP

Both programs deliver evidence-based, trauma-informed treatment. The difference is intensity and schedule — choose based on where you are in your recovery journey.

In-person, virtual, or a blend — we build around your life

IOP is designed to flex around the demands of adult life. We offer three attendance formats — your clinician will help you choose the one that sets you up for success.

Preferred

🌿 In-Person IOP

Attend at our Maxwell or San Marcos location. You'll build deep peer connections, participate in experiential and outdoor therapy, and get the full Deep Roots community experience. Our preferred format for best outcomes.

3 days/week3 hrs/sessionMaxwell & San Marcos
Flexible

💻 Virtual IOP

Fully remote groups via secure video platform — ideal for adults in rural Central Texas, those with transportation challenges, or clients who have already built a strong community foundation. Same clinical quality, zero commute.

3 days/week3 hrs/sessionAnywhere in Texas
Hybrid

🔀 Blended IOP

Some in-person sessions, some virtual — designed around your schedule and driving distance. Many clients start blended and shift to more in-person as they settle into the routine. We meet you where you are.

Custom scheduleIn-person + virtualMost flexible

Intensive enough to create change.
Flexible enough to fit your life.

💼

Keep Your Job

Three days a week, three hours a session. Most clients maintain full-time or part-time employment while in IOP. We offer morning and evening session times where possible.

👨‍👩‍👧

Stay with Your Family

You sleep at home every night. Your kids, your partner, your life — all of it stays in place while you do the work that makes you a better presence in it.

🧠

Evidence-Based Treatment

IOP is one of the most well-researched levels of addiction care. When done right — with qualified clinicians, real structure, and peer community — outcomes rival residential treatment for most adults.

👥

Real Peer Community

Whether in-person or virtual, you'll build real relationships with a cohort of adults who understand what you're going through. Community is a cornerstone — not an afterthought.

📋

Personalized Treatment Plan

Your IOP plan is built around your history, your challenges, and your goals — not a template. Individual therapy + group + skills training, all coordinated by your clinical team.

🌱

Built for the Long Game

IOP isn't just about getting through the weeks — it's about building the life skills, community, and aftercare plan you need to stay well for years, not just months.

IOP may be the right fit if…

🔄

You're stepping down from PHP

You've completed PHP and are ready for a less intensive schedule while continuing structured clinical support.

🌊

You have mild to moderate substance use

Your use is significant but you haven't needed detox or residential care — IOP is often the right entry point.

💼

You need to maintain work and family

You can't take significant time away from your job or family responsibilities and need treatment that fits around your life.

🌿

You're in a rural area

Driving to Maxwell or San Marcos every day isn't realistic — virtual or blended IOP means distance is no longer a barrier.

🏠

You have a stable living environment

You're in a safe, substance-free home — or connected to Revive Recovery Homes — and don't need residential placement.

IOP — Frequently Asked Questions

Can I work while attending IOP?

Yes — most clients maintain full-time or part-time employment during IOP. Sessions are 3 days/week, 3 hours/day. We work with your schedule to find session times that accommodate your work hours.

Is IOP covered by insurance?

IOP is a covered level of care under most major insurance plans when clinically indicated. We verify your benefits for free before you commit to anything. Visit our insurance page or call (512) 557-7832.

Can I do IOP if I live far from Maxwell or San Marcos?

Yes. We offer fully virtual IOP for adults anywhere in Texas, and blended schedules for those who can attend some in-person sessions. Distance is not a barrier — call us to discuss your options.

How long does IOP last?

Typically 6–12 weeks, though this is determined clinically based on your individual progress and needs. Your treatment team will review your plan regularly and adjust as you progress.

Do I need to have done PHP first to do IOP?

No. Many clients enter treatment directly into IOP — particularly those with mild to moderate substance use who don't need daily PHP-level intensity. Your assessment will determine the right starting point.

Start IOP — on your terms.

Recovery doesn't have to mean stepping away from your life. IOP is designed for adults who are committed to changing — without putting everything else on hold.
