About Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
​At Roots Wellness Center, our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides trauma-informed, culturally responsive substance use and mental health treatment through a social justice lens. We recognize that trauma, discrimination, systemic barriers, and life experiences often contribute to addiction, and lasting recovery means addressing every part of your story.
Whether you're beginning recovery, returning after a relapse, or looking for ongoing support, we're here to walk alongside you
WHO THIS IS FOR
When Life Starts Feeling Out of Control
Maybe you've been telling yourself things are "fine," but deep down you know something isn't working anymore. Recovery doesn't start when you hit rock bottom. It starts when you're ready for something different.
You may benefit from treatment if you:
-
​Feel stuck in patterns you can't seem to break
-
Turn to alcohol or substances to cope
-
Feel disconnected from yourself or the people you love
-
Are overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or past trauma
-
Want support that's compassionate and culturally responsive
-
Are looking for a supportive community that understands your lived experiences
