IOP is a flexible level of care that offers comprehensive programming, evidence-based therapies, and tailored eating disorder treatment on an outpatient basis.
Why choose Aster Springs for IOP treatment?
Our convenient intensive outpatient (IOP) locations allow clients to step down from residential or partial hospitalization treatment programs and ease into regular life with ongoing structure and support. IOP enables clients to attend programming during the day or evening, prepare meals, and engage in learned coping skills in their free time. Several housing options are available nearby for clients while participating in the program.
