Are you or a loved one struggling with substance abuse and seeking a flexible yet intensive path to recovery? MWI Health provides specialized Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) designed to help individuals overcome addiction while remaining connected to their families, work, or academic commitments.

What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?

MWI Health offers comprehensive Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for substance abuse in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We understand the challenges of addiction and are committed to providing flexible, effective treatment that supports lasting recovery while allowing you to maintain your daily life.

An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a structured, evidence-based treatment program for substance abuse that offers a higher level of care than traditional outpatient therapy but doesn’t require 24/7 residential supervision. It’s an ideal solution for those who:

  • Are transitioning from a higher level of care (like inpatient or partial hospitalization).

  • Need more support than weekly therapy sessions.

  • Have a stable living environment.

  • Are committed to their recovery while maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities.

Our IOPs combine individual counseling, group therapy, and educational sessions to equip you with essential coping skills, relapse prevention strategies, and a strong support system.

Our IOP Levels of Care: Tailored to Your Needs

MWI Health offers a spectrum of IOP options, recognizing that recovery is a unique journey for everyone. Our levels of care are designed to provide the right intensity of support at every stage:

  • IOP 0.5: Early Intervention

    • This foundational level is for individuals who are beginning to recognize problematic substance use and are ready to explore early recovery. It focuses on education, awareness, and building initial coping strategies.

    • Ideal for: Early signs of substance abuse, educational support, building motivation for change.

  • IOP 1.0: Outpatient Care

    • This level provides structured support for those needing ongoing therapy and skill-building while integrating back into daily life. It’s less intensive than our higher IOP levels, offering a flexible schedule for those with work or family commitments.

    • Ideal for: Sustained recovery, relapse prevention, managing triggers in a real-world setting.

  • IOP 2.1: Intensive Outpatient

    • Our most intensive outpatient option, IOP 2.1, offers a significant time commitment to therapy sessions, including multiple group and individual sessions per week. This level is for individuals who require more structured support and accountability to achieve sobriety and develop robust coping mechanisms.

    • Ideal for: More severe substance use disorders, stepping down from inpatient/residential treatment, individuals needing intensive support to prevent relapse.
