What IOP means
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) gives adults at least 9 hours of treatment a week, for example 3 hours a day, 3 days a week, while you live at home and keep some of your routine. ASAM's intensive outpatient level is 9 to 19 hours a week. See IOP vs PHP vs outpatient care and what IOP and PHP cost in Texas.
Call the program, then the member services number on your Medicaid card: most Texas Medicaid members are in a managed care health plan (STAR, STAR+PLUS, STAR Kids or STAR Health), and the program has to be in that plan's network.
