I would recommend ATS to anyone looking for help. The counselors here are WONDERFUL! I have learned a lot about myself and ways to cope with trauma, addiction, and depression. I never thought I would be able to live a sober life. Jewels, Mark, Cody, Jim, Ray are all very knowledgeable and caring!! I could not have done better anywhere else. If you’re looking for help I would highly recommend ATS!!

Although it sounds a little dramatic, I have to admit that ATS saved my life, without question. ATS is more than just safe space to get well, it is a comprehensive program consisting of both private and group therapies, in-depth educational instruction, and family-style support and accountability. ATS offered me more than just a treatment for substance abuse- it gave me an opportunity to reach deeper, to understand myself better, and to address the issues that were at the root of my addiction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)?

Intensive Outpatient Programs or IOPs provide structured outpatient treatment for individuals who need more support than traditional once weekly therapy but do not require inpatient treatment.

Clients attend therapy multiple days per week while continuing work, school, or family responsibilities. This level of care supports recovery while maintaining independence.

IOPs also help patients build stability, learn coping skills, and receive support after residential treatment or PHP.

Are IOP programs effective?

Yes. Research shows that intensive outpatient programs can be highly effective for individuals managing mental health conditions, substance use disorder, and behavioral health challenges. With ongoing support, new skill building, and accountability, patients often experience improved stability, reduced symptoms, and progress toward lasting recovery.

How does your Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP Program) work?

Our IOP Program includes multiple weekly sessions with group therapy, individual therapy, education, and skill development. This level of care is an ideal option for clients who need structured treatment while maintaining other responsibilities. It is a strong choice for anyone searching for IOP programs or IOP programs near me.

How long do IOPs typically last?

Program length varies based on assessment, progress, and individual needs. Many clients attend for several weeks, with treatment schedules adjusted week by week. Some may step down to lesser sessions per week or other services as stability improves.

What are signs someone needs Intensive Outpatient Programming?

For someone who has completed residential treatment, signs that you may need to enroll into an Intensive Outpatient Program include challenges maintaining abstinence-based goals, difficulty managing anxiety, depression, or other mental health disorders, or needing more support than weekly therapy provides.

If you have not been into rehab before, increased substance abuse and inability to control your addiction are just some signs that you need to seek professional help.

Some clients begin with a residential treatment or partial hospitalization program for more intensive structure, then step down into IOP. Others may start directly in an adult IOP based on symptoms, safety needs, and overall ability to manage daily responsibilities.

What type of addiction treatment programs do you offer?

We provide PHP, IOP, and outpatient rehab services designed for clients needing flexible care. These programs support individuals looking for outpatient rehab near me or drug rehab in Rancho Mirage or Barstow, with treatment plans built around personal goals and weekly schedules.

Will insurance cover IOP, individual therapy, and group therapy?

Many insurance plans provide coverage for intensive outpatient program services, including individual therapy, group therapy sessions, family therapy, and medications when medically necessary. Our team can help verify benefits and explain coverage options during your assessment.
