WHAT ARE INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAMS (IOPs)?
Intensive Outpatient Programs are a unique new option for those struggling with mental health disorders or addiction. IOPs are great for those who do not need, or simply cannot commit to inpatient treatment due to family or work obligations.
IS AN IOP RIGHT FOR YOU?
IOPs are effective for a variety of people at different points in their recovery journey. Consider enrolling in our IOP if you are:
- Having increased difficulty functioning at work
- Experiencing symptoms triggered by specific events or situations
- Noticing increased feelings of depression, anxiety or stress
- Relying more on substances to cope with your daily life
- Wanting to re-evaluate your coping skills in order to maintain your recovery
- Feeling like your current approach isn’t working

Long term recovery in the palm of your hand
IOPs are more than an app, but they do offer one full year of access to the Wagon app as a key part of helping you track and maintain your recovery!
Working with a counsellor, you’ll design a personalised plan for recovery that you can access anytime, anywhere. Set custom reminders, log your emotions and progress, and create your own gratitude list.
