Intensive Outpatient Program

Specialized Outpatient Treatment for Teens (13 - 17) experiencing substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges.

Some teens recovering from substance use disorder don’t need a hospital, but still need more than weekly meetings.

Rise Recovery’s low or no-cost intensive outpatient program makes recovery possible while they remain connected to home, school, and daily life.

San Antonio’s Barrier Free Intensive Outpatient Program

This program meets them in every aspect of everyday life and addresses not only substance use disorder, but the mental, emotional, and social challenges that come with it.
