The Intensive Outpatient Program is a full-scale outpatient substance abuse treatment program for adult men and women. It specializes to Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) referred patients, and is an approved Illinois Department of Human Services/ Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse (OASA) DCFS Initiative site. Patients from the residential programs are also referred to this program as a step-down in the continuum of treatment services.

The Program focuses on assisting patients to develop life skills to regain stability in their lives, and to build a foundation based upon recovery. Clinically-managed interventions are directed by certified treatment professionals trained in gender specific and culturally sensitive treatment services, to address patient's individualized needs to develop and apply recovery skills.

Through educational lectures, therapeutic groups, and individual 1:1 sessions, patients are encouraged to learn and make lifestyle changes necessary to overcome barriers to recovery and problems that precipitate relapse while living in their neighborhood community. Treatment services also include outreach, intervention services, medical/psychiatric linkages, knowledge of the 12-step self-help recovery network, case management services, aftercare planning, and HIV/communicable diseases education, testing and counseling.

The program provides funding for daily transportation to/from the treatment location and on-site childcare for children under the age of 5 years old.
