Virtual Intensive Outpatient FAQs:

Who can benefit from VIOP?
Our Virtual IOP is ideal for adults across Illinois facing addiction, trauma, or mental health challenges who need more support than weekly therapy but do not require inpatient care. It is an excellent option for those balancing work, school, or family responsibilities while focusing on recovery. If you or someone you love is struggling, do not wait. Reach out today.
How effective is online rehab?
When virtual treatment is appropriate, it can be just as effective as in-person care. Our Virtual IOP provides the same expert-led therapy, evidence-based curriculum, and peer support available in our in-person programs. It is delivered in a flexible format for individuals across Illinois.
What can I expect from a VIOP program?
Our Virtual IOP provides 15 hours of weekly programming, including four 3-hour group therapy sessions, one hour of individual therapy, and one hour of yoga therapy each Wednesday. This comprehensive schedule ensures participants across Illinois receive the support and structure needed to make meaningful progress in recovery.
Is virtual treatment right for me?
Virtual options offer many of the same benefits as in-person treatment. Whether you cannot travel or prefer the convenience of online care, our Virtual IOP may be the right fit for you, no matter where you are in Illinois.
Does insurance cover online treatment?
Yes, many insurance providers cover Virtual Intensive Outpatient (VIOP) treatment. We are in-network with several major insurance companies, making online mental health care more accessible and affordable for individuals across Illinois. Because coverage varies by provider and plan, we recommend contacting us for a free insurance verification to better understand your benefits.
Can treatment be scheduled around my work and family life?
Absolutely. Our Virtual IOP is designed for flexibility, offering morning, afternoon, and evening group sessions to fit busy schedules. This allows participants across Illinois to receive high-quality care while balancing work, school, and family responsibilities.
What is the difference between Virtual Intensive Outpatient and online therapy?
Virtual IOP offers a structured and comprehensive treatment program with multiple weekly group therapy sessions, individual therapy, and specialized services such as yoga therapy and family work. It follows an evidence-based curriculum similar to in-person IOP.
By contrast, online therapy usually consists of less frequent one-on-one sessions without the same level of peer support, structured programming, or multidisciplinary care. Our Virtual IOP provides a more immersive, community-driven approach to recovery for individuals across Georgia.
