Continuum of Recovery Outpatient Treatments
What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides a structured and supportive environment for individuals seeking treatment for substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. This level of care is designed for those who do not require 24-hour supervision but still need significant support. IOPs offer flexible scheduling to accommodate daily responsibilities, such as parenting, work or school, while ensuring access to comprehensive therapeutic services. Participants engage in individual and group therapy sessions, educational workshops, and holistic healing practices, all aimed at fostering long-term recovery and personal growth. The goal of an IOP is to help individuals build a strong foundation for a healthy, balanced, and fulfilling life.
Intensive Outpatient Program for Women
Benefits of IOP for Women in Recovery
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) offer a range of benefits specifically tailored to support women in recovery. One of the primary advantages is the flexibility these programs provide, allowing women to maintain their daily responsibilities such as work, school, and family care while receiving intensive treatment. IOPs also offer a supportive community where women can connect with others who share similar experiences, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual encouragement.
The therapy sessions in IOPs are designed to address issues that are particularly relevant to women, including trauma, self-esteem, and relationships. These programs often include specialized therapies, such as trauma-informed care, that help women process and heal from past experiences. Additionally, IOPs provide educational workshops and life skills training that empower women to build a healthier, more balanced life.
Furthermore, the structure of an IOP helps women develop a routine that promotes stability and consistency, which are crucial elements in maintaining long-term recovery. By participating in regular therapy sessions and group activities, women can continuously work on their recovery goals while receiving ongoing support and guidance from professionals and peers. This comprehensive approach ensures that women have the tools and resources they need to achieve lasting recovery and improve their overall well-being.
Key Components of Continuing Recovery with IOP at Anchored Tides
At Anchored Tides Recovery, our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is structured to support ongoing recovery through a comprehensive and multifaceted approach. The key components of our IOP include:
- Individual Therapy: Personalized one-on-one sessions with experienced therapists help address the unique challenges each woman faces in her recovery journey. These sessions provide a safe space to explore underlying issues, develop coping strategies, and set personalized goals.
- Group Therapy: Group sessions foster a sense of community and mutual support among participants. Women can share their experiences, gain insights from others, and build a network of peers who understand and support their recovery efforts.
- Evidence-Based Treatments: Our program incorporates proven therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care. These therapies are effective in treating substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions.
- Holistic Healing Practices: We integrate holistic approaches such as mindfulness, yoga, and art therapy to promote overall well-being. These practices help women manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and enhance their physical and mental health.
- Life Skills Training: Our IOP includes workshops on essential life skills, such as communication, time management, and financial planning. These skills are vital for achieving independence and stability in daily life.
- Relapse Prevention: Education and strategies for preventing relapse are central to our program. Women learn to identify triggers, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and create a robust relapse prevention plan.
- Flexible Scheduling: Recognizing the importance of balancing treatment with everyday responsibilities, our IOP offers flexible scheduling options. This allows women to continue working, attending school, or caring for their families while actively participating in their recovery process.
- Aftercare Planning: As women approach the completion of the IOP, we work with them to develop a comprehensive aftercare plan. This plan may include ongoing therapy, support group participation, and other resources to ensure sustained recovery.
Our IOP is specifically designed to provide a flexible yet intensive level of care, making it an ideal option for women transitioning from residential treatment or those seeking a robust support system while managing their daily lives. By attending our IOP, women benefit from a continuum of care that bridges the gap between inpatient treatment and traditional outpatient services, ensuring they have the resources and support needed to achieve and maintain lasting recovery.
At Anchored Tides Recovery, we prioritize creating a compassionate and understanding environment where women can thrive. Our IOP is structured to continue recovery for substance use disorders, mental health disorders, and eating disorders to empower women, providing them with the tools, support, and community needed to navigate their recovery journey successfully.
A FEW WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS
STORIES OF RECOVERY
What an amazing place Anchored Tides is. As Amy explained when we first visited, girls and women are an afterthought in many treatment programs, which often are founded and structured for boys and men. Anchored Tides’ holistic approach to ALL of the co-existing issues that girls and women face is groundbreaking, and so appreciated. They are wonderful people who do inspiring work and make the world a better place every day. I highly recommend their sober living and IOP. The founders have crucial and relevant lived experiences and care deeply, and they are amazing role models for all the women help.
Anchored tides saved my life. I had been to an inpantient facility before and my sobriety wasn’t lasting, until I found this place. I enjoyed the different groups and the staff and women are so welcoming. I felt so comfortable here, which I hadn’t felt before. I now have the confidence to succeed in life. Very thankful for this place.
Anchored Tides changed my life. After doing a 30 day inpatient program I came to ATR to expound upon the coping skills in inpatient treatment. Not only did I learn more coping skills, I discovered who I really was underneath all of the anxiety, addiction, and trauma: a woman with so much to offer the world. I would have not been able to thrive in sobriety without the deeply transformative inner work that ATR provided. Like most things in life, it’s what you make of it. If you come in with a positive outlook you are going to get a lot out of the program. I know I did!
Identifying the Root of Substance Use Disorder and Mental health
What IOP Treatment Addresses for Addiction and Mental Health Disorders
Our Women’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Anchored Tides Recovery is designed to address a broad spectrum of addiction and mental health disorders, offering comprehensive care that targets the root causes and provides sustainable solutions for recovery.
Addiction Treatment
Substance Use Disorders: Our IOP provides targeted treatment for various substance use disorders, including alcohol, opioids, prescription medications, and illicit drugs. Through evidence-based therapies, we help women understand the underlying factors contributing to their addiction, develop coping mechanisms, and build a solid foundation for long-term sobriety.
Dual Diagnosis: Many women struggling with addiction also face co-occurring mental health disorders. Our IOP addresses both conditions simultaneously, ensuring that each woman receives integrated care that promotes holistic healing. This approach helps to prevent relapse and supports overall mental wellness.
Relapse Prevention: Our program includes relapse prevention strategies that empower women to identify triggers, manage cravings, and develop a proactive plan to maintain their recovery. By focusing on long-term strategies, we aim to equip women with the tools they need to sustain their sobriety.
Mental Health Disorders
Depression: For women dealing with depression, our IOP offers therapies that target the symptoms and underlying causes of this condition. We use a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and other evidence-based approaches to help women manage their depression and improve their quality of life.
Anxiety Disorders: Our program provides specialized care for women struggling with various forms of anxiety, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, and more. Through therapeutic interventions and holistic approaches, we help women reduce their anxiety levels and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Bipolar Disorder: Women with bipolar disorder receive tailored treatment plans that address both the manic and depressive phases of this condition. Our goal is to stabilize mood swings, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall functioning through a combination of medication management and therapy.
Eating Disorders: Our IOP includes specialized programs for women with eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, body dysmorphia, and binge eating disorder. We provide a supportive environment where women can work on their relationship with food, body image, and self-esteem, promoting healthier habits and attitudes.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Many women in our program have experienced trauma that contributes to their mental health challenges. Our trauma-informed care approach helps women process and heal from traumatic experiences, reducing the impact of PTSD on their daily lives.
Personality Disorders: Women with personality disorders receive comprehensive care that focuses on improving interpersonal relationships, emotional regulation, and self-perception. Our therapeutic interventions are designed to help women navigate the complexities of their condition and achieve greater stability.
By addressing these addiction and mental health disorders within our IOP, Anchored Tides Recovery provides a comprehensive, supportive environment where women can heal, grow, and thrive. Our integrated approach ensures that each woman receives the personalized care she needs to achieve lasting recovery and improve her overall well-being.

Effects of Addiction and Recovery on Family and Friends
Addiction profoundly impacts not only the individual struggling with substance use but also their family and friends. During active addiction, relationships often become strained due to behaviors such as lying, stealing, and neglecting responsibilities, which can lead to mistrust, anger, and emotional distress. Families may experience financial difficulties, legal issues, and social isolation as they attempt to cope with their loved one’s addiction. The constant worry and fear for the addicted person’s safety can cause significant stress and anxiety among family members and friends.
Recovery, while a positive step, also brings challenges and adjustments. As the individual begins their journey to sobriety, family and friends need to navigate their own emotions, which may include relief, hope, skepticism, and lingering resentment. Effective communication and setting healthy boundaries become crucial during this period. Family therapy and support groups can be invaluable, providing a space for everyone to heal, learn about the nature of addiction, and develop strategies to support their loved one while taking care of their own well-being.
Ultimately, recovery can lead to the restoration of trust and the rebuilding of stronger, healthier relationships. With time and effort, families and friends can move past the damage caused by addiction, fostering a supportive environment that promotes lasting sobriety and mutual growth.

- Develop Coping Strategies: IOPs aim to equip participants with effective coping mechanisms to handle stress, triggers, and emotional challenges without resorting to substance use. This includes teaching techniques for managing cravings and avoiding relapse.

- Improve Mental Health: Addressing co-occurring mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and trauma is essential. IOPs provide integrated treatment plans that focus on improving overall mental well-being alongside substance use recovery.
- Build a Supportive Network: Fostering a sense of community and building a strong support network is crucial. IOPs facilitate connections with peers, family, and support groups to ensure participants have ongoing emotional and practical support throughout their recovery.
