Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Glen Burnie, MD

A Flexible Path to Recovery

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Elevate Recovery Center in Glen Burnie provides structured treatment and counseling without requiring a residential stay. This program is designed for individuals who need ongoing support for addiction recovery or co-occurring mental health challenges while continuing to live at home and manage daily responsibilities.

IOP combines the accountability of regular group and individual therapy with the flexibility clients need to maintain work, school, or family obligations. It is an important step for those transitioning from higher levels of care, or for individuals seeking comprehensive support outside of inpatient treatment.

Program Structure at Elevate Recovery Center

Our IOP in Glen Burnie is built around consistent therapeutic engagement, clinical support, and accountability:

Group Therapy Sessions: Clients begin the program by attending four group sessions per week. These sessions provide a safe, structured environment to learn relapse prevention skills, practice coping strategies, and connect with peers who share similar experiences.
Step-Down Approach: As clients progress in their recovery, they transition to three group sessions per week, when clinically appropriate. This gradual step-down process ensures support is tailored to each person’s growth and stability.
Individual Counseling: In addition to group therapy, each client meets with their primary IOP counselor at least once every other week. These one-on-one sessions focus on personal recovery goals, mental health needs, and individualized treatment planning.

Accountability and Clinical Oversight

Elevate Recovery Center ensures that every participant is supported through consistent monitoring and professional evaluations:

Weekly Urinalysis Testing: Clients submit to regular urinalysis screenings to support accountability and provide clinicians with clear insight into recovery progress.
Mental Health Evaluation: Every IOP client receives a comprehensive mental health assessment upon entering the program.
Psychiatric Evaluation & Medication Management: When recommended, clients meet with our psychiatrist for a full evaluation. Ongoing medication management is also available to address co-occurring disorders or support recovery with evidence-based treatment options.
