What Is IOP at Totality Treatment Center?
An Intensive Outpatient Program is a non-residential level of care for people who need more support than weekly therapy but do not require 24-hour supervision. At Totality, IOP combines individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric evaluation and medication management, and case management — all delivered by licensed clinicians on a consistent weekly schedule.
Our IOP is appropriate as:
- » A step-down from our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) or inpatient care
- » A primary treatment level for moderate addiction or mental health conditions
- » A relapse prevention program for individuals in early or sustained recovery
IOP Program Structure
- » Hours per day: 3 hours

Hear From Our Program Director
Program Director Nicholas Tandberg, CADC II, on why IOP at Totality is built around each client’s actual life:
✦ ✦ ✦
“A lot of times it’s not that they’ve failed entirely. They found a lot of the right pieces — they just haven’t been able to put it all together. That’s why you need a treatment team. Every person needs to find out what works for them, and they can only do that by engaging with the process.”
