Recovery is not one-size-fits-all, and some individuals benefit most from a balance between structure and flexibility. At Pyramid Healthcare in Kearneysville, West Virginia, our intensive outpatient program (IOP) offers a clinically driven approach to treatment that allows clients to continue working, studying or caring for their families while receiving the consistent support they need to stay on track.

Our IOP provides a structured yet flexible environment for individuals recovering from substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Through evidence-based therapy, peer support and relapse prevention strategies, clients learn how to manage daily life while maintaining long-term recovery.

What is an Intensive Outpatient Program?

An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a structured level of care that offers comprehensive therapy and support for individuals who do not require 24-hour supervision. It is often the next step after residential treatment or a strong starting point for those who need accountability and guidance while remaining active in their daily lives.

IOP typically includes several hours of therapy multiple days a week, blending individual and group sessions with skill-building and recovery education. Clients continue to live at home or in a sober living environment while attending scheduled sessions at Pyramid Healthcare’s Kearneysville facility.

Who Can Benefit from IOP?

Our Kearneysville IOP is ideal for individuals who:

  • Have completed detox or residential treatment and are ready for step-down care
  • Need continued support to prevent relapse while rebuilding daily routines
  • Want to address both substance use and mental health challenges
  • Require flexibility to balance treatment with work, school or family commitments
  • Are motivated to maintain sobriety and strengthen coping skills

If you are unsure whether IOP is the right level of care for you or your loved one, our admissions specialists can provide a confidential assessment and recommend the best treatment path.

What to Expect During IOP

The intensive outpatient program at Pyramid Healthcare combines clinical expertise with compassionate care. Each client receives an individualized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs, challenges and goals.

Program components include:

  • Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions with a licensed clinician to explore personal challenges, set goals and work on relapse prevention.
  • Group Therapy: Peer support sessions focused on communication, accountability and skill-building.
  • Evidence-Based Modalities: Techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI) help clients understand triggers, manage emotions and build resilience.
  • Relapse Prevention Planning: Clients learn strategies to manage cravings, avoid high-risk situations and strengthen their recovery network.
  • Dual Diagnosis Treatment: For clients with co-occurring mental health disorders, integrated care addresses both substance use and mental health for better long-term outcomes.
  • Family Involvement: When appropriate, family members are invited to participate in therapy or education sessions to foster understanding and support at home.

This well-rounded approach ensures that clients not only recover but also develop the confidence and life skills necessary to sustain their progress.
