Intensive Outpatient Program
Our Drug & Alcohol Rehab
Addiction Recovery IOP in Massachusetts
The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)—also known as Partial Day Treatment—at Northstar Recovery Center is designed for individuals who need structured support but require more flexibility than Day Treatment (PHP) provides. This balanced approach allows you to receive quality care while maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities, making it an ideal step-down from our PHP program or an entry point for those whose substance use doesn’t require more intensive intervention. Contact us today to learn more about our Intensive Outpatient Program in Massachusetts.
What is an IOP for Addiction Recovery?
An Intensive Outpatient Program offers substantial therapeutic support while accommodating your daily life commitments. It’s perfect for those who need consistent guidance but are stable enough to spend less time in treatment and more time implementing recovery skills in real-world settings.
You’ll participate in treatment three to six days a week, for three hours each session, in a safe, supportive, and healing environment. Our dedicated team helps you strengthen your recovery foundation, develop practical coping strategies, and build a sustainable recovery lifestyle that works with your schedule and responsibilities.

Experts in Addiction Treatment
Why Choose Northstar for IOP for Treatment?
At Northstar Recovery Center, we don’t just help people stop using substances—we help them build meaningful, fulfilling lives in recovery. Our Partial Day Treatment is designed to provide the structure, flexibility, and support you need to heal, grow, and thrive. Here’s what makes IOP at Northstar unique:
We understand that recovery has to work with your real-world responsibilities. That’s why we offer morning, afternoon, and evening IOP sessions, available in-person, hybrid, or fully virtual. Whether you’re working, parenting, or going to school, we make it possible to prioritize your recovery.
Addiction affects the whole family. We offer free weekly support groups for families and loved ones of our clients and alumni. These sessions provide education on addiction, emotional support, and a space to connect with others walking a similar path.
Healing relationships is an important part of recovery. Our partial day program includes opportunities for family therapy, allowing loved ones to actively participate in the treatment process and support lasting change.
Need a higher level of care before starting IOP? We’ll connect you with top detox and inpatient programs in Massachusetts, based on your insurance and clinical needs—even if it’s not with us. Your well-being comes first.
Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does. Our active alumni community hosts weekly gatherings, mentors current clients, and helps you stay accountable and connected long after completing IOP.
Clients have access to structured 12 Step programming, including daily group options and support with beginning step work. Learn how AA, NA, and other fellowships can sustain your personal recovery journey.
Most of our team members are either in long-term recovery or have personally supported a loved one through addiction. That means you’ll be met with compassion, understanding, and real-world insight from people who truly get it.
You belong here. Northstar proudly welcomes individuals from all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, people with co-occurring mental health conditions, and those with legal system involvement.
