IOP Arizona

Growth, Healing & Rediscovery

Recovery is a transformative journey filled with opportunities for growth, healing, and rediscovery. At Silver Sands Recovery, we proudly provide a seamless continuum of care that includes detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient levels of support. Each stage of treatment is thoughtfully designed to meet you where you are, guiding you forward on your path to wellness.

Our IOP in Arizona serves as an empowering step for individuals moving on from residential or PHP treatment, as well as those seeking structured support in a flexible setting. With a strong emphasis on dual diagnosis treatment, relapse prevention, and reintegrating into everyday life, IOP at Silver Sands Recovery blends clinical strength with personal adaptability. We’re here to help you thrive and achieve lasting wellness, every step of the way!

The Role of IOP in the Recovery Journey

Treatment You Can Count On

IOP serves as a critical bridge between higher levels of care and full independence. It’s ideal for individuals who need ongoing support for substance use disorders, mental health conditions, or co-occurring diagnoses, but who are ready to begin reintegrating into their daily lives.

Whether you’re continuing care after detox or residential treatment, or starting your healing journey with IOP as the first step, this level of care gives you the tools, structure, and support you need to thrive in recovery.

At Silver Sands Recovery, our IOP provides:

  • Structured, evidence-based therapy several days a week
  • Flexible scheduling to accommodate work, school, or family life
  • Group and individual counseling to build community and process deeper emotional work
  • Support for mental health challenges, trauma recovery, and relapse prevention
  • Real-life accountability, while allowing freedom and autonomy

What to Expect in an Arizona IOP

Treatment Tailored To Your Needs

Located in the breathtaking mountains of Prescott, Arizona, Silver Sands Recovery offers a serene and healing setting for individuals committed to making meaningful life changes. Our  Arizona IOP is designed to be both comprehensive and customized, ensuring each client receives the right mix of clinical care and life-skills development.

At Silver Sands Recovery, we create a treatment experience that empowers you to heal not just from addiction, but from the underlying trauma and mental health struggles that often drive it.

Program Features

  • 3-5 days per week of programming, depending on clinical needs
  • Morning or evening sessions available for schedule flexibility
  • Trauma-informed therapy including EMDR, CBT, DBT, and somatic approaches
  • Dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders
  • Individual therapy sessions with licensed clinicians
  • Group therapy focused on topics like relapse prevention, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and interpersonal skills
  • Family support, including weekly contact when requested by the client
  • Holistic integration, such as mindfulness, physical activity, and outdoor experiences
  • Aftercare planning and transition support

A Community Built Around Connection and Growth

Clients are Never Alone in Their Journey

One of the greatest strengths of our IOP is the community environment we foster. Group sessions are a core component of treatment, giving clients the opportunity to connect with others who understand their experiences. Many of our clients range from young adults in their 20s to seniors in their 70s or 80s, which creates a diverse and inclusive atmosphere where everyone can learn from one another.

Connection is the antidote to isolation, and in IOP, clients are never alone in their journey. Our small-group format ensures that every voice is heard, and every individual receives personalized attention and support.

A Safe Space for Complex and Chronic Struggles

Structure, Accountability & Therapy

We understand that many of our clients come to us after multiple attempts at treatment or years of struggling with both addiction and mental health challenges. Silver Sands Recovery specializes in chronic relapse and difficult cases, with a team trained in working with clients who have:

  • Dual diagnoses like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and bipolar disorder
  • Developmental and complex trauma
  • Long-term substance use histories
  • Relapsed after previous treatment
  • High-pressure lifestyles, such as executives and professionals
  • Veteran backgrounds, including those using TRIWEST insurance


IOP offers an intensive level of care without requiring residential placement, making it an ideal option for those who need structure, accountability, and therapy—but who also want to rebuild their routines in the real world.

IOP in Arizona:
Healing in Nature

The Prescott Advantage

Our location in Prescott, Arizona, offers more than just beautiful views—it provides a deeply healing environment. With clean, fresh mountain air (Prescott boasts the best air quality in the United States), a quiet and sober community, and daily access to outdoor activities, IOP clients can take advantage of the natural serenity that supports emotional and physical well-being.

Experiential & Holistic Offerings

  • Hiking outings on local mountain trails
  • Sports integration, with access to a private golf course and a full-size basketball court
  • Mindfulness, yoga, and meditation
  • Nutritional education and physical wellness support
  • Optional spiritual or purpose-centered practices


These offerings support the mind-body-spirit connection, helping clients develop healthy habits and a renewed sense of self in recovery.

Individualized Care at Every Step

Silver Sand Recovery’s Continuity of Care

At Silver Sands Recovery, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter treatment plans. Every client in our IOP is evaluated by a multidisciplinary team of licensed clinicians, case managers, and therapists who design a care plan that reflects the individual’s goals, needs, and challenges.

We offer 30, 60, or 90-day IOP tracks, with the flexibility to extend or step down to a lower level of care as needed. We also provide continuity of care across every level—so if you’ve been through our detox, residential, or PHP programs, you’ll experience a seamless transition into IOP with a team who already knows and supports your recovery path.

Our IOP Treatment For Executives, Professionals, and Veterans

Confidentiality, Schedule Flexibility & Support

Our IOP program is uniquely equipped to support individuals balancing professional responsibilities with personal healing. For executives and professionals, we offer confidentiality, schedule flexibility, and support for high-performance lifestyles.

For veterans, our TRIWEST contract allows us to deliver trauma-informed, culturally competent care that honors your service while addressing mental health and addiction issues in depth.

We also provide assistance with return-to-work planning, life skills development, and ongoing therapy, so clients can successfully navigate their re-entry into daily life while maintaining strong recovery foundations.

Why Choose Silver Sands Recovery’s IOP

  • A serene, small-town environment with a large sober community
  • A focus on chronic relapse, dual diagnosis, and trauma

J.C.

"Silver Sands recovery made the difference for my 23 year old son, an opioid addict who had tried several times unsuccessfully to stay sober in rehab and IOP's for a couple of years. Silver Sands provided the right atmosphere and the extended time which was crucial for my son to get and stay sober."

S.K.

"Being able to speak with the owner multiple times and get answers on treatment and planning was something we never experienced anywhere else. They truly work with the family to get us all on the same page. It helped get my son to stay in treatment and he would not be where he is today, sober".

J & J

"Words can not express the gratitude we feel for the support you have given to our son, myself, and my husband. We could not have picked a more caring, supportive facility, and I would not hesitate to recommend Silver Sands to anyone in need. God bless you all!"
