What Makes Our IOP Different?
We meet you where you are. Our Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) provide the structured, therapeutic support you need at a pace that respects your unique situation and challenges. You get intensive care without requiring around-the-clock supervision or residence at a facility. Whether you’re stepping down from residential treatment, need greater support than standard outpatient care, or are starting treatment while maintaining your home life, our licensed center offers the ideal integration of individualized treatment and real-world application for your recovery journey.
What is an Intensive Outpatient Program for Substance Abuse?
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a structured treatment program for individuals struggling with substance use disorder who don’t require medical detoxification or 24-hour supervision. Our programs meet the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Level 2.1 criteria, providing 9-20 hours of evidence-based treatment per week at our licensed treatment centers in South Dakota.

Frequently Asked Questions
We understand you have many questions when searching for the right level of care for substance abuse treatment or mental health recovery. This section provides clear, expert answers about our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) structure, evidence-based therapies, and admissions process. Explore these FAQs to confirm if our program is the right fit for your journey to lasting recovery.
Ready to take the next step?
If you didn’t find the answers you were looking for, our compassionate admissions team is available now to personally guide you through the process, verify your insurance, and answer any remaining questions about our IOP.
How long does an intensive outpatient program for addiction typically last?
The duration of our IOP programs varies based on individual needs, progress, and severity of substance use disorder. Most participants attend for 8-12 weeks, though some may need shorter or longer addiction treatment. Your treatment team will continuously assess your progress and adjust the length of treatment to ensure the best outcomes for your recovery journey.
Will my insurance cover outpatient addiction treatment and rehab services?
MWI Health works with most major insurance providers, including Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, and Cigna. We recommend contacting us directly for free insurance verification to understand your coverage for intensive outpatient treatment. Our admissions team can help you navigate the insurance process, explain your benefits, and explore affordable payment options if needed.
What's the difference between IOP and residential inpatient treatment?
Residential treatment or inpatient rehab requires you to live at a treatment facility 24/7 with around-the-clock medical supervision, while our IOP allows you to live at home in a substance-free environment and attend therapy sessions several hours per day, typically 3-5 days per week. IOP provides a structured treatment program that’s ideal if you have a stable, supportive living environment and need to maintain work, school, or family responsibilities while in addiction treatment.
Can I continue working or going to school during intensive outpatient treatment?
Yes! Our flexible addiction treatment programs are specifically designed to allow you to continue with work, school, or family commitments while receiving comprehensive care. We offer evening treatment sessions, weekend programs, and flexible scheduling to accommodate your daily responsibilities. Many of our patients successfully maintain their careers and education while completing our outpatient rehab programs.
What if I've relapsed after previous addiction treatment?
Relapse is often part of the recovery process and doesn’t mean treatment has failed. Our intensive outpatient programs are excellent for individuals who have experienced relapse and need additional structure, support, and accountability. We’ll help you identify what led to relapse, strengthen your coping skills, develop a more robust relapse prevention plan, and get back on track with your recovery goals.
Do you provide treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders?
Absolutely. Our dual diagnosis treatment approach addresses both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders. We understand that treating both conditions simultaneously through integrated care is essential for lasting recovery and better treatment outcomes. Our team includes licensed therapists and psychiatrists who specialize in dual diagnosis.
What happens after I complete the intensive outpatient program?
Recovery is a lifelong journey. After completing our intensive outpatient program, we provide comprehensive aftercare planning including continuing care options, alumni support groups, recovery coaching, ongoing individual therapy, medication management, and connections to community support groups like AA or NA. We’re committed to supporting your long-term sobriety success and preventing relapse.
How do I know if IOP is the right level of care for my addiction?
The best way to determine if our IOP near me is right for you is to complete a comprehensive assessment with our team. We’ll evaluate your substance use history, current situation, support system, co-occurring disorders, and treatment goals to recommend the most appropriate level of care. Contact us today for a free confidential evaluation and let our addiction specialists help you find the right path to recovery.
Do you offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for addiction?
Yes, we offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when clinically appropriate for opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder. MAT combines FDA-approved medications like buprenorphine, naltrexone, or acamprosate with behavioral therapy and counseling. This evidence-based approach has been proven to improve treatment outcomes, reduce cravings, prevent relapse, and support long-term recovery. Our medical team will assess whether MAT is right for you.
What is the cost of intensive outpatient addiction treatment?
The cost of IOP treatment varies depending on your insurance coverage, level of care, and length of treatment. Most insurance plans cover a significant portion of outpatient addiction treatment costs. We accept most major insurance providers and offer affordable payment plans for those without insurance or with high deductibles. Contact us for free insurance verification and to discuss payment options that fit your budget.
