Step into life in a meaningful way with BALANCE’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).
OUR EVENING TREATMENT PROGRAM
Cultivate the resilience you need to achieve lasting recovery with our customized evening, afternoon or weekend programming. This schedule allows you to practice implementing new coping tools while decreasing behaviors in a supportive setting.
You will leave the program with sustainable practices that support your sense of well-being and the confidence to navigate triggers.
BALANCE’s IOP is an ideal step-down from higher levels of care to protect your investment in recovery or as a step-up when additional support is needed.
“I have never felt more seen, supported, validated, or accepted into a group in my entire life.”
— Former BALANCE Client
At BALANCE we pride ourselves on providing integrated, holistic expert treatment that can be long-lasting with an integrated and holistic approach.

Step into life in a meaningful way with BALANCE’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).
The goal of IOP is to support you in maintaining a stable foundation while integrating new skills and supportive behaviors into the rhythm of your life.
This commitment to you means that BALANCE clients learn real-world recovery skills such as intuitive eating, portioning food, and finding peace with food and movement.
Leave with innovative tools, a customized plan, and strategic how-tos to sustain your recovery.
If you sense that your relationship with food and your body is beginning to cause disruption in your life, our IOP may be the ideal option for you. An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers an essential intermediate stage between levels of care. Clients attend our IOP 5-7 days a week. Our IOP program is uniquely flexible with in-person, evening, and daytime options to suit your scheduling needs best.

Our IOP program blends seamlessly with our Saturday and Sunday programming for additional support. For the best chance of full recovery, we recommend clients step down through all four levels of care.
This program has been designed to best support clients as a sequence of care; from PHP into an IOP program, then to our individual services.
Our Continuum of Care tapers treatment, providing more autonomy with each level for greatest chance of success and relapse prevention.

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a dynamic schedule, incorporating:
IOP Client Symptom Improvement
Evening Weeknight Treatment Symptom Decrease after Initial 6-Week Treatment and Symptom Decrease after Initial 12-Week Treatment
When stepping down from a higher level of care such as Day Treatment, IOP, offered 5-7 days per week, can be your evening opportunity to better accommodate your work, school, or childcare schedule.
Our intake process provides expert guidance for determining the best treatment path for you. We strive to take the confusion and overwhelm out of the process.
BALANCE’s IOP is a structured outpatient treatment program designed to provide meaningful support while allowing you to continue work, school, and other obligations.
IOP may be a good fit if:
IOP includes multiple days per week of structured programming, often at flexible times, so you can continue working or attending school while receiving care. BALANCE offers morning, afternoon, and evening IOP options.
At BALANCE, programming is offered 7 days a week, providing outpatient support when you need it most.
IOP is a lower level of care than PHP, offering fewer hours per week and more flexibility. While PHP provides full-day support, IOP allows you to practice recovery skills in your everyday life while still receiving support, structure and guidance.
Yes. IOP is specifically designed to help you stay engaged in your responsibilities while receiving treatment, making it a flexible option for many individuals.
Yes. We value the relationships you’ve already built with your outpatient providers. We collaborate closely with your treatment team to support a more seamless recovery experience.
With your permission, we provide regular updates and coordinate care, so you feel supported both inside and outside of treatment.
BALANCE is in-network with several major insurance providers, including UHC, Cigna, Oscar, and Emblem, and works with additional plans on a case-by-case basis.
If you have out-of-network benefits, our team can help you understand your coverage and what reimbursement may look like—so you can make an informed decision about care.
The first step is scheduling a free confidential intake call with our admissions team. From there, our team will help determine if PHP is the right fit and guide you through next steps.
The length of IOP at BALANCE varies based on your needs. Some clients use IOP as a step-up from outpatient therapy for additional support, while others use it as a step-down after completing a higher level of care.
