What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program?

At Ray of Hope in Columbus, our IOP offers evidence-based therapies, personalized treatment plans, and a supportive community—all within a structured schedule.

This level of care is ideal for those who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy but do not require 24/7 supervision.
