Recovery does not always require stepping away from work, school, or family life. For many adults, the right balance of structure and flexibility can make all the difference. At Bold Steps Behavioral Health, we offer a continuum of care to address behavioral health treatment needs.
An intensive outpatient program offers focused, evidence-based care for substance use disorders, mental health conditions, and co-occurring challenges while allowing you to stay connected to daily responsibilities.
Our IOP in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, provides consistent clinical support, therapeutic guidance, and a strong sense of community. Whether you are stepping down from a higher level of care or seeking more support than weekly therapy alone, our team is here to help you move forward with confidence.
An intensive outpatient program, often called IOP, is a structured level of treatment that provides several hours of therapy multiple days per week without requiring overnight stays. IOP is designed for individuals who need ongoing clinical support but can safely live at home or in a supportive environment.
At Bold Steps Behavioral Health, IOP often serves as a step down from detox, residential treatment, or a partial hospitalization program. It can also be an entry point for individuals who need more structure than standard outpatient care provides.
Our intensive outpatient program combines flexibility with accountability. Treatment is designed to help clients build coping skills, strengthen emotional stability, and maintain progress in recovery while managing daily life.
Our multi-disciplinary team creates a personalized plan targeting your specific needs and goals. Evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) help identify and modify unhealthy patterns.
Expect a structured yet flexible environment to support your recovery journey.
While enrolled in IOP at Bold Steps Behavioral Health, clients may participate in:
Care is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each individual’s needs.
We believe in treating the whole person – mind, body, and spirit. Our IOPs offer a comprehensive range of support services, including individual and group therapy, counseling, medication management, and life skills training. We address not only the physical aspects of addiction but also the underlying emotional and psychological factors. Through a combination of evidence based therapies, medication management group counseling, family education, holistic practices like mindfulness, and life skills development, you gain tools for lasting sobriety.
As you progress, we coordinate next steps like stepping down to a lower level of care, sober living arrangements, or community-based support services. Our priority is providing a seamless transition for sustained recovery success.
The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at Bold Steps typically lasts 8-12 weeks. Each client receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs and progress. While the standard length is 8-12 weeks, treatment duration is regularly adjusted based on the client’s response to care. Some may need more time, while others transition to less intensive outpatient services sooner.
The caring professionals at Bold Steps understand each person’s path to recovery is unique. Our IOP provides an ideal balance of comprehensive addiction treatment with the flexibility to resume daily responsibilities.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Harrisburg, PA is designed to support recovery while respecting real-life responsibilities. IOP typically meets several days per week for a few hours per session, offering structure without requiring full-day attendance.

Our IOP offers structured, compassionate care designed to support recovery while allowing individuals to remain engaged in daily life.
The admission process for an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is, above all else, simple and supportive. It begins with the team reaching out to discuss one’s situation and circumstances, helping them learn more about the program. Next, you’ll undergo an assessment to determine if IOP is the right fit for you. Our team will assist with checking your insurance coverage and collaborate with you to create a personalized treatment plan. Once admitted, you’ll attend an orientation to get acquainted with the program. Bold Steps Behavioral Health is here to guide you on this journey, ensuring the process is smooth and stress-free.
The cost of Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) treatment can vary widely depending on factors such as the location, the provider, the services included, and the length of the program. Here are some general considerations:
To get an exact estimate, it’s best to contact the treatment center directly. They can verify your insurance benefits and provide detailed pricing information. Reach out to us – we’re here to help; it’s important to us that you have the details you need before committing to treatment.
Insurance often covers Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) treatment, but the extent of coverage depends on your specific health plan. Most major insurance providers consider IOP a medically necessary level of care for mental health and substance use disorders, which makes it eligible for coverage under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). However, factors such as deductibles, copays, and whether the provider is in-network can affect out-of-pocket costs. We can help you understand and verify your benefits.
You do not have to choose between recovery and daily life. With the right support, both are possible. At Bold Steps Behavioral Health, our intensive outpatient program provides the structure, guidance, and encouragement needed to keep moving forward.
Call (717) 896-1880 or contact us online to learn more about our IOP in Harrisburg, PA. Take your next step toward lasting recovery.
Recovery doesn’t happen in isolation — and we don’t expect you to do this alone. IOP at Bold Steps is built around real connection, with individual therapy, meaningful group work, and a clinical team that knows your name, not just your chart.
We treat people like people — not diagnoses. Your history, preferences, pace, and boundaries matter here. Care is individualized, collaborative, and rooted in respect, whether you’re rebuilding after relapse or stepping into treatment for the first time.
IOP should support your life, not replace it. Our program helps you stabilize while staying connected to work, family, and daily responsibilities — so treatment fits into real life, not the other way around.
