Regulate, rebuild, and reinforce. Our most intensive outpatient program provides 6 hours of daily structure, 6 days a week — designed for individuals transitioning from inpatient or those needing maximum support to stabilize.
Real experiences from people who found their direction through our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) — 3 Day.
When I stepped down from inpatient, I was terrified of losing my support system. IOP 3-Day gave me that same level of structure while I rebuilt my daily life. Six days a week, I had somewhere to be and people who believed in me.
I came in thinking I'd just go through the motions. By the second week, I realized the staff actually cared. Henry checked in on me every morning. The therapists didn't read from a script — they listened. I found myself again here.
The process groups were small — never more than 10 people. That made all the difference. You can't hide in a group that size, and honestly, I didn't want to. For the first time, I wanted to be heard. Valley Spring made that safe.
Everything you need to know about our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) — 3 Day, organized by what matters most.
Click any waypoint to learn why this matters to your recovery journey.
You're never just a number. With no more than 8 clients per clinician, you receive focused, individualized attention in every session. Your therapist knows your story, your triggers, and your goals — because they have the time and bandwidth to pay attention.
3 days/week (you choose), 6PM-9PM, 3 days/week. Six hours a day of evidence-based treatment gives you the structure and consistency you need during the most vulnerable phase of recovery. This isn't drop-in care — it's a comprehensive daily program.
Our process groups are capped at fewer than 10 clients. This creates an environment where everyone is heard, accountability is real, and therapeutic bonds form naturally. Large groups let people hide. Ours don't.
Dr. Michael Olla provides psychiatric oversight and MAT for every PHP client who needs it. We offer Suboxone, Vivitrol, Brixadi, Naltrexone, and Topamax — all managed in-house so your medication and therapy work in concert.
Addiction rarely exists in isolation. Our therapists are trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and experiential therapy — allowing us to address trauma, co-occurring disorders, and the root causes driving substance use.
Nutrition is part of recovery. We provide a catered lunch every day so you can focus on your healing, not on meal prep. Eating together as a community also builds the kind of connection that textbooks can't teach.
When you're ready, we move fast. Insurance verification and clinical assessment can be completed in hours. Most patients begin treatment the same day or the next day. We remove barriers — we don't create them.
We offer a specialized women's track within PHP that addresses the unique challenges women face in recovery — including trauma, family dynamics, self-image, and co-occurring mental health conditions — in a safe, women-only therapeutic space.
Recovery is a family effort. Our 6-session Together We Heal workshop teaches CRAFT communication, boundary setting, Narcan training, and trust rebuilding. It's open to anyone — your family doesn't need to wait for you to enroll.
Graduation isn't the end — it's a transition. Our alumni program provides monthly meetings, social events, and ongoing support. Once you're part of Valley Spring, you have a community that shows up for you indefinitely.
When you're ready, you transition directly into our 5-day or 3-day IOP with the same clinical team. No new intake, no new faces, no disruption. It's a step down in hours, not in quality or continuity of care.
Our Norwood facility was designed to feel safe, warm, and purposeful — not clinical. Take a look around.
Intimate, sunlit spaces designed for groups of fewer than 10 — where the real work happens.
From your first day to stepping down into IOP — four phases that build on each other.
Biopsychosocial evaluation, insurance verification, and treatment plan creation. Clinical and medical approval within 1 hour.
The first 1–2 weeks. Daily structure, medication management with Dr. Olla, and building trust with your clinical team.
Weeks 2–4. Deep therapeutic work — CBT, DBT, EMDR, trauma processing. Family involvement begins. Skills applied in daily life.
Weeks 4–6. Discharge planning, step-down to IOP with the same clinical team. You're ready for more independence with continued support.
From your first call to your first day — we make the process fast, simple, and transparent.

Henry leads the clinical team at Valley Spring and oversees every treatment plan in the PHP program. He checks in with every client every morning — not because protocol requires it, but because he believes recovery starts with knowing someone gives a damn. His leadership shapes the culture of accountability, compassion, and relentless effort that defines our team.
