Outpatient Addiction Treatment In Richmond, Virginia
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides support for individuals who are transitioning back into the community or stepping down from a more full-time treatment program. Our programs provide a 360-degree understanding of addiction, its causes and the best ways to conquer it.
For years, many individuals in need of addiction treatment have benefited from intensive outpatient treatment. With IOP, people who don’t need residential addiction treatment attend group and individual therapy sessions at their treatment center, but return home at the end of the day.

Remote outpatient treatment allows individuals struggling with addiction and substance use disorder to receive the same quality of care they would in an in-person outpatient recovery program, without leaving their homes. You will work independently with your addiction counselor and sponsor and participate in the Williamsville Wellness recovery community through group therapy.
Virtual outpatient programs are an accessible, convenient alternative to traditional in-person outpatient treatment. If you or someone you love could benefit from virtual IOP at Williamsville Wellness, explore our program options below or reach out to a counselor today.

Smart IOP
Our Smart IOP program is an accessible and flexible way for individuals struggling with mild to moderate alcohol addiction or substance use disorder (SUD) to receive treatment. This 6-12 week online course offers video modules, supervision from a therapist throughout the duration of treatment as well as support from a Smart Sponsor who will provide guidance when needed. Through this unique experience patients can benefit from gaining valuable insight into how they can apply their newly acquired skills in real world applications.
How Smart IOP Works
Is Smart IOP Right for You?
Smart IOP offers patients the option of self-directing their treatment at their convenience, whereas traditional online IOP includes scheduled therapy during a specific timeframe.
Smart IOP might be a good fit for you if:
- You have a busy or unpredictable schedule, or work non-traditional hours that might prohibit you from attending many typical treatment programs
- You live in an area that does not offer accommodating in-person treatment or resources
- You are seeking a cost-effective treatment option
- Your substance use is mild or moderate but not severe
- You are confident in your ability to stay accountable to your sponsor and self-direct your treatment
If Smart IOP sounds like the right program for you or a loved one, don’t wait — contact our admissions team today to discuss your treatment options and get started on the journey to recovery.
Virtual IOP
Virtual IOP is our online intensive outpatient program (IOP) to treat substance abuse and addiction. Virtual IOP at Williamsville Wellness is an entirely remote approach to traditional intensive outpatient addiction treatment. Unlike Smart IOP (which is self directed), virtual IOP provides a structured environment for individuals suffering from moderate to severe substance use disorder. Through scheduled group and individual video therapy sessions, virtual IOP recreates the community of a traditional outpatient recovery program while offering added convenience and accessibility.
How Virtual IOP Works
Is Virtual IOP Right for You?
If you’re looking for greater flexibility in your addiction treatment with the structure and support of traditional IOP, our virtual IOP is right for you.
Virtual IOP allows you to receive the care you need to recover from addiction while still being able to go to work, school, or take care of other responsibilities. If you live in an area with limited resources, if you don’t have reliable transportation, or if you are simply looking for flexibility, our virtual IOP may be the right choice.
Because of the structure and commitment required, our virtual program is best suited for individuals suffering from moderate to severe addiction issues. IOP is a step up from outpatient care, and is designed for people who need more support than what is typically provided in traditional outpatient care. While IOP is an intensive form of substance abuse treatment, it is less intensive than partial hospitalization.
Virtual PHP
Virtual PHP is an online partial “hospitalization” program (PHP) to treat more severe substance abuse and addiction problems.
Partial hospitalization is a treatment program that provides intensive addiction care on an outpatient level. Partial hospitalization programs (PHP) are designed for people who need more treatment than can be provided through traditional outpatient therapy, but who do not need the level of care provided in a residential program. Partial hospitalization for substance abuse typically includes a wide range of services, including psychiatric care, individual and group therapy, family counseling, and educational workshops.
How Virtual Partial Hospitalization Works
Is Virtual PHP Right for You?
One of the most common questions people ask when they are first seeking treatment for addiction is the difference between partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment. Both programs offer a level of care that is less intensive than inpatient treatment, but they differ in several key ways.
Our admissions team will guide you on the best program for your needs. However, PHP might be a good option for you if you meet the following criteria.
- You suffer from severe substance use disorder or addiction
- You have been through a form of outpatient or residential addiction treatment before
- You are seeking a highly structured recovery environment that still provides some level of flexibility
- You have the ability to commit a significant portion of your time to your recovery, typically 5+ hours a day for at least 3 weeks
