The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at Laureate Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital in Tulsa, OK, helps adults find freedom from chemical dependency and make permanent changes for a healthier and happier life.
Our program is often used as a first level of intervention or for those who are stepping down from acute inpatient substance abuse care. Using group- and family-focused therapies, our dedicated care team helps patients understand their addiction and address lifestyle choices, attitudes and behaviors that can undermine a life without mind-altering chemicals.
Outpatient care is comprised of 12 hours of treatment per week and is available in the evening so patients can receive treatment with little interruption to work or family responsibilities. We provided a structured level of care through frequent treatment sessions. Education, encouragement and support focuses on recognizing the connection between thoughts and feelings as a way to improve each patient’s condition.

Patients will be eligible for discharge from the intensive outpatient treatment program when the following conditions are met or when it is determined by members of the treatment team that continued participation will not be beneficial in achieving the following goals:
