INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT TREATMENT

A continuum of care necessary for recovery

This level of care provides intensive nutrition and clinical therapy, while allowing for more autonomy and self-sufficiency. Intensive outpatient treatment provides clients with a safe space where they can live independently, make their own choices, and still have the community to support and guide them through their journey of recovery.

Clients in intensive outpatient programming may choose to stay in Alsana off-campus apartments at an additional cost. This level of care is appropriate for clients who require more therapy than typically provided in a general outpatient setting and are able to make progress with moderate structure and support.

Flexible IOP Programming for College Students

At Alsana, we are committed to meeting the needs of our clients wherever they’re at in their process. We believe that young adults should be able to continue their education without sacrificing their recovery. To achieve this, we offer flexible IOP hours at the following locations:

• Westlake Village, CA
• Santa Barbara, CA
• Birmingham, AL
• St. Louis, MO

Students in the area can choose 4-hour blocks from 7:00 am-7:00 pm Monday-Friday, and 7:00 am-3:00 pm Saturdays and Sundays. This flexible program schedule allows young adults to receive support during the times of day they struggle the most without interrupting their school schedule.

At our Santa Barbara location, flexible evening IOP hours are now available.

Clients receive meal planning, meal support, group therapy, and sessions with a therapist or dietitian on their programming days. For many students, this level of support is sufficient to stay in school and continue with their life outside of treatment.

Clients in our flexible IOP program may also participate in our free weekly virtual support group for college students that is offered only to Alsana clients.
