Elite Recovery’s Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (Virtual IOP) delivers the same high-quality, evidence-based treatment as our in-person IOP, offered in a secure, flexible, and fully remote format. Designed for individuals who need structured support but face barriers to attending in-person programming, Virtual IOP allows you to receive compassionate, clinically sound care from the comfort of your home.
Time Commitment: 8-16 hours per week (typically 3-5 days a week, 4-hour sessions)
What Is Virtual IOP?
Virtual IOP is a structured outpatient program that mirrors our in-person IOP in intensity, frequency, and clinical effectiveness. Through a secure telehealth platform, clients participate in live group therapy, individual counseling, and education sessions led by licensed clinicians.
This program is ideal for individuals who need meaningful therapeutic support, consistent accountability, and flexibility to manage recovery alongside real-life responsibilities.
