Substance Abuse Intensive Outpatient Program (SAIOP)
SAIOP provides a structured level of substance-use treatment for adults who need more support than weekly counseling but can safely remain in the community. The program combines group treatment, individual support and coordinated recovery planning.
How This Service Can Help
Care is individualized. Your assessment and treatment plan determine the goals, frequency and services that are appropriate for you.
Individual & Family Work
Individual counseling and family involvement are included when clinically indicated and authorized.
Care Coordination
Connection with medical, psychiatric, peer, housing, employment and other recovery resources as needed.

- Adults with a primary substance-use disorder needing intensive outpatient structure
- People stepping down from a higher level of care
- Individuals experiencing repeated relapse or difficulty maintaining recovery with weekly services
- People with stable housing and medical needs that can be managed safely in the community
Program Expectations
- Participation is typically at least nine hours each week across three or more days
