Program Duration

The IOP is available in 4, 8, or 12-week programs, giving clients the freedom to choose a duration that fits their needs and lifestyle. We understand that recovery needs to work alongside life, not against it, so our scheduling is designed to accommodate work and personal responsibilities, allowing clients to focus fully on their healing journey.

Holistic Care

Our IOP integrates various therapeutic methods to support each client’s unique recovery journey. Recognizing the importance of both emotional and practical skills in overcoming addiction, we incorporate transdiagnostic therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP). These approaches help clients develop critical tools for managing emotions, building healthy relationships and developing practical skills for everyday life.

Backed By Research

Through evidence-based and culturally informed care, our clients learn to identify and address the root causes of addiction, as well as any co-occurring mental health issues. Research-backed strategies guide our programming, helping to reduce the likelihood of relapse by providing tools that support lasting change.

Focus on Functionality

A core aim of our outpatient treatment program is to prepare clients to return to work, fulfill personal responsibilities and gradually reintegrate into their communities.

Virtual Accessibility

For those preferring a more flexible treatment model, we also offer a virtual IOP option. Regardless of location, clients can experience the full benefit of our team’s compassionate guidance, therapeutic expertise and holistic support all designed to empower clients to live balanced and fulfilling lives.

Why IOPs Matter

IOPs are evidence-based and have been shown to significantly reduce substance use and improve mental health outcomes, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and burnout. Research demonstrates that IOPs can offer clinical outcomes comparable to inpatient care, while supporting faster reintegration into work, family, and community life.

Our Intensive Outpatient Programs are built on a foundation of comprehensive, individualized care.

We combine evidence-based therapies with medical and wellness support to address the full spectrum of mental health and substance use challenges. Our approach ensures you’re not only getting intensive treatment but also the right tools, assessments, and follow-up care to build a strong foundation for long-term recovery and functional success, such as:

  • Individual Treatment for Personalized Challenges
  • Comprehensive Mental Health & Substance Use Assessments
  • Psychiatric Consultations to Address Co-Occurring Conditions
  • Access to Biological Monitoring
  • Option for Aftercare Services to Ensure Ongoing Support for the Future

At Brick House Recovery Centre, we’re here to help you build a brighter, healthier future. Our IOPs are designed for individuals needing compassionate, structured support for substance use and mental health challenges without requiring them to leave for an extended period of time.
