Salem, Virginia’s Best Intensive Outpatient Program for Addiction

At Mount Regis Center, our effective substance use intensive outpatient program is designed to be flexible and individualized to meet our clients’ specific needs and treatment goals.

What Is IOP?

Intensive outpatient programming (IOP) is designed to provide patients with structured care that is more intensive than traditional outpatient therapy but less intensive than residential treatment. This program meets three hours a day, three days a week. Patients have the option of choosing to participate in our afternoon program or our evening program, depending on what works best with their schedules.

  • Our afternoon IOP meets Monday, Tuesday, and Thursdays from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at our Blacksburg location
  • Our evening IOP meets Monday, Tuesday, and Thursdays from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at our Salem location
  • Both locations offer a virtual option for patients who reside in the state of Virginia
  • The time a patient spends in IOP will be based on their specific needs; however, the averaging programming length includes 18-24 sessions.
