Frequently Asked Questions about Virtual Intensive Outpatient 

What Is Outpatient Detox? 

Virtual intensive outpatient treatment (V-IOP) is a specific type of treatment that provides intensive outpatient care through secure video conferencing for those unable to attend meetings in person. Our V-IOP delivers the same quality of care as traditional programs but in a more accessible format. 

What Happens During A V-IOP Session? 

During a V-IOP session, participants join their counselors and group members via video chat. The group offers mutual support and motivation. Individuals share their treatment progress and the challenges they encounter throughout the meeting. Case managers also evaluate individuals’ progress during sessions, help set goals for the coming week, and offer necessary support and resources. 

Why Consider A V-IOP? 

Accessing traditional IOP programs can be difficult, particularly for those living in rural areas, managing hectic schedules, or facing transportation issues. This is where virtual intensive outpatient treatment (V-IOP) becomes beneficial. V-IOP enables people to receive addiction care from their home at times that suit them. Additionally, since V-IOP is conducted on computers or mobile devices, it tends to be more cost-effective than traditional IOP options. Advantages of virtual intensive outpatient programs include: Flexible scheduling Family participation Confidentiality Convenience Tailored treatment Reduced expenses
