IOP Program Details
The IOP program at Recovery Ways Idaho stands out for its mental-health-first approach in the Treasure Valley.

Sessions are typically three days per week, in small co-ed or women-only tracks, accommodating school and work schedules. Patients benefit from integrated peer support and optional on-site medication management. IOP is ideal for those stepping down from higher levels of care or needing more structure than weekly outpatient sessions.
