What to Expect in Our IOP Treatment Program

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Virtue Recovery Killeen is a flexible, effective addiction treatment option for individuals who need structured support but also want to maintain their work, school, or family responsibilities.

Designed for those stepping down from more intensive levels of care—or beginning treatment for the first time—IOP combines evidence-based therapies, peer support, and clinical guidance in a part-time format.

What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?

IOP is a structured treatment program that provides therapeutic services multiple times per week, without requiring residential care. Clients typically attend 3 to 5 days per week, for 3 hours per day, allowing them to live at home and continue participating in daily life while receiving meaningful support for recovery.

Virtue Recovery Killeen’s IOP is built to help clients strengthen coping skills, prevent relapse, and address the underlying causes of addiction—all in a supportive outpatient setting.

  • Group therapy sessions (3–5 days/week, 3 hours/day)
