When it comes to addiction recovery, not everyone needs—or can commit to—a full-time inpatient rehab. For many individuals and families in Glendale, Arizona, an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a flexible, structured, and highly effective alternative. At Milestone Recovery, our Glendale IOP gives clients the support they need to rebuild their lives—without putting their daily responsibilities on hold.

What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?

An Intensive Outpatient Program bridges the gap between inpatient rehab and standard outpatient therapy. Clients receive structured treatment several days per week, focusing on recovery skills, emotional regulation, and relapse prevention—while continuing to live at home or in sober living housing.

At Milestone Recovery, our Glendale IOP combines clinical excellence with compassionate care, helping clients manage both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and trauma.

A Typical Day in Our Glendale IOP

While every treatment plan is personalized, here’s a look at what a typical day might include in our Intensive Outpatient Program in Glendale, AZ:

Morning or Evening Group Sessions

IOP sessions are offered at flexible times—morning, afternoon, or evening—to accommodate work, school, and family schedules. Group therapy focuses on relapse prevention, emotional regulation, healthy coping strategies, and peer support.

Individual Therapy

Each client meets one-on-one with a licensed therapist to work through personal challenges, set goals, and process underlying emotional issues. Our clinicians often integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to promote self-awareness and stability.

Trauma-Informed Care

Many clients in recovery have experienced trauma. Our therapists use trauma therapy techniques designed to promote healing in a safe, supportive environment.

Medication Management & Dual-Diagnosis Support

For clients managing both addiction and mental health conditions, our team provides dual-diagnosis treatment that includes psychiatric support and medication-assisted therapy when appropriate.

Life Skills & Wellness Sessions

Clients participate in activities and workshops that focus on healthy routines—nutrition, mindfulness, stress management, and building supportive relationships.
