The Life Link's IOP is a program designed to reach individuals who need consistency and frequency in treatment. It is designed for persons who may have not responded to previous treatment approaches, have external requirements (e.g. court-mandated treatment), are not in need of inpatient treatment, or have recently completed an inpatient program and need extra
support in the transition to recovery.

The Life Link is proud to offer an Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program (IOP) for clients with substance abuse/dependence or co-occuring issues. Utilizing the same evidence bases approaches as the Life Link's other programs, the IOP employs therapeutic, educational, social, familial, recreational, and vocational strategies to aid clients in the process
of change and recovery.

• behavioral, social, and living skills training
