See If IOP Fits
People often come to treatment feeling overwhelmed, worn out, or stuck in the same cycle. With steady care, many begin to build more stable routines, stronger coping skills, better honesty with family, safer choices, and a better chance of staying engaged in recovery.
For many, IOP vs PHP for addiction treatment comes down to daily need. If full-day care feels too much and weekly care feels too little, IOP may be the middle path that makes sense.

Real Stories. Real Healing.
You’re not alone. Others have walked this road before you—and found hope on the other side. Our 5-star Google reviews reflect the real experiences of people who came to New Horizons searching for change and found the care they needed to rebuild.
Their words remind us every day: recovery is possible.
I can't say enough good things about New Horizons. They genuinely care about their patients and foster an incredible environment that makes a difficult process way more enjoyable (if that's even possible).I was extremely nervous and hesitant opening up throughout my recovery journey, but NH made those fears go away almost immediately, especially after meeting the entire staff and other clients. I'm not usually one to post reviews, but I wanted to share my experience in case you or your loved one are struggling with addiction/mental health and are looking for a place to heal/grow. Thank you to New Horizons and everyone I have met along the way, and thank you for reading. :)
New Horizons helped me regain control of my life. Jeff was so welcoming and was the reason I walked through those doors in the first place, but JEN is the reason I stayed and am now thriving. She motivated me to become the best version of myself with her honesty, insight, and deep care for each individual. I can’t thank here no ugh for equipping me with the necessary tools to navigate this part of life that is so much more fulfilling.
I did IOP at New Horizons following a mental health hospitalization. I do not have enough words to describe how helpful and life saving this place is. The entire staff will do any thin git takes to support you, so long as you are open to letting them. I’ve done a lot of therapy through out the years but none have helped me in the ways that New Horizons has. This isa very safe place full of people who are genuinely going to look out for you and work with you to give you whatever tools you need to believe in yourself again.

Questions People Ask Before They Start
What is an intensive outpatient program?
.png)
An intensive outpatient program is a level of care that gives you several hours of treatment each week without staying overnight at a facility. It offers more support than standard weekly therapy and can help with addiction, mental health needs, or both.
How many hours per week does IOP require?
Many programs run around three hours per day for three to five days each week. The exact schedule depends on your needs and treatment plan.
Can I work while attending an IOP program?
Yes, many people do. IOP is one of the more flexible addiction treatment options in Cincinnati. Programs often schedule sessions at times that make it easier to keep up with work, school, or family duties.
Does IOP treat both mental health and addiction?
Yes. Many people need help with both. This is often called dual diagnosis or co-occurring care. Treatment may address substance use, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood changes, and other related issues at the same time.
Is IOP covered by Medicaid in Ohio?
Coverage can depend on your plan and the service approved. The site notes that major insurance options may be accepted and invites people to verify benefits. Medicaid may cover IOP in some cases. The best next step is to call and check your benefits with the admissions team.
What is the difference between IOP and PHP?
PHP is a higher level of care with more treatment hours each week. IOP gives strong support with fewer hours. For many people, PHP comes first, and IOP follows as a step down. The right fit depends on safety, symptoms, relapse risk, and daily functioning.
Is this only for mild addiction problems?
No. This program is built for people who may be dealing with severe substance use, major mental health struggles, relapse risk, and complex daily problems. It is serious care for people who need active support.
