Intensive Outpatient Program (I.O.P.)
I.O.P offers flexibility to our clients varying schedules who participate in the B. Riley House I.O.P program.

The six (6) hour course is broken into one (1) hour a week for six (6) weeks. Clients are also expected to attend seven (7) 12 step self-help group meetings per week (12 steps groups, either AA, NA, CA, SA, etc.).
