Houston Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Serving multiple locations in the Houston area, New Dimensions Day Treatment Centers’ outpatient programs offer a flexible yet structured approach to addiction and mental health treatment, enabling you to find balance and progress without putting your life on hold.
What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?
At the core of New Dimensions Day Treatment Centers (NDD), our Houston intensive outpatient program offers a unique blend of structured support and flexibility. IOPs are designed for individuals who require more attention and support than what is typically offered in traditional outpatient therapy but do not need the 24/7 supervision of inpatient care.

Who is a Good Candidate for IOP in Texas?
Understanding whether you or a loved one is a good fit for an IOP level of care at New Dimensions is essential to the journey toward healing and recovery. Here are some key considerations to help determine if our online and in-person IOP options may be a good fit:
Transitioning from Higher Levels of Care
Stepping down from residential treatment, an inpatient program, or a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a common path to our IOP. Our program provides a structured yet less intensive environment, offering a supportive transition back to daily living. It’s ideal for those who are ready to move to a lower level of care while maintaining the momentum of their recovery journey.
Balancing Daily Responsibilities
If you have work, school, or family responsibilities that make a residential program impractical, our IOP provides the necessary treatment while allowing you to maintain your daily commitments.
Motivation and Willingness
Success in an IOP requires actively participating in scheduled therapy sessions and activities. It’s ideal for individuals who are motivated and willing to engage in their recovery process.
Stable Home Environment & Outside Support
Being in a stable and supportive living situation is crucial. Our IOP is most effective when you have a safe environment to return to after daily sessions. Having a supportive network, whether family, friends, or community, can significantly enhance the effectiveness of an IOP. We encourage the involvement of your support system as part of the treatment process.
Independence & Stability
An IOP is well-suited for individuals who are stable enough not to require constant medical supervision but still need regular mental health or substance use support. If you can manage daily life without the intensive supervision of a full-time residential program but still need structured support, an IOP is a suitable option.
If you find yourself in any of the scenarios described above, contact New Dimensions today. Our expert team can help you find the level of care that aligns with your lifestyle, needs, and recovery goals.

Anxiety Disorders
From generalized anxiety disorder to specific phobias, the IOP level of care provides a structured approach to managing anxiety for Texas residents, offering tools and techniques to cope with and reduce anxiety symptoms.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Outpatient programs can provide therapeutic strategies to manage OCD, helping individuals to control obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
Dual Diagnosis
