Access Flexible Treatment and Sustainable Sobriety
Our substance abuse IOP in Boston is designed to help individuals overcome their addictions, build emotional resilience, and achieve lifelong recovery with personalized care and therapy.

Our Substance Abuse IOP Treatment Program Is Here For You
Our substance abuse Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a structured level of care without the need for residential treatment. As a step down from full-day programming, it’s ideal for individuals ready to move toward greater independence in their recovery journey.
At Kiwi Recovery, our IOP typically includes three to five treatment sessions per week, each lasting three to five hours. This flexible schedule allows clients to maintain their daily responsibilities while actively applying the coping strategies and therapeutic tools they've gained in treatment to real-life situations.
Substance Abuse IOP Treatment Hours
Kiwi Recovery currently offers two tracks of the IOP program:
Adolescent IOP: Monday-Friday 9:00am – 12pm
Young Adult IOP: Monday-Friday 9:00am – 12pm
Our Substance Abuse Day Treatment Program Also Includes:
Clients are treated to a continental-style breakfast along with a variety of drinks and snacks throughout the day. A freshly prepared hot lunch is also served daily. We collaborate with local restaurants to offer nutritious, well-balanced meals that appeal to young tastes.
Our adolescent clients (ages 12–18) enrolled in our full-day treatment programs receive 1.5 hours of academic tutoring each day. Our certified educators coordinate directly with your child’s school to help them stay on track with assignments and classwork.
Virtual therapy sessions are available for all programs through secure video conferencing. While remote access offers flexibility, we encourage in-person participation for long-term treatment, as it fosters deeper engagement and connection in the therapeutic process.

Understanding insurance coverage for substance abuse treatment shouldn’t be overwhelming. At Kiwi Recovery, we work with a wide network of insurance providers to help make the approval process as stress-free as possible.
If your provider isn’t listed, don’t worry—our team is here to help you out. We’ll go over your options with you and help make sure you receive the support and care you deserve.

We will start with a judgment-free conversation to understand your unique struggles with substance use, life history, and recovery goals. This helps us create a substance abuse IOP plan right here in Boston that aligns with your individual needs.
We handle the insurance process on your behalf, working directly with your provider to verify coverage for substance abuse IOP services. Our goal is to eliminate any roadblocks so you can focus on healing.
Our team of highly-trained clinicians conducts a thorough psychological, emotional, and physical evaluation to develop a treatment plan that supports long-term recovery from substance use.
For most, treatment can begin right away. Many clients start group therapy the same day as their assessment, immediately working to build a support system as you take your first steps toward sobriety.
