Recovery doesn’t have to mean stepping away from your life. At Willow Behavioral Health in Madison, Wisconsin, our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) helps you stay on track while remaining connected to your world.
What Is an IOP Program for Addiction?
An IOP is a structured treatment option for people facing substance use challenges. It offers multiple sessions per week without the need for overnight care, giving you the support you need while you continue daily routines like work, school, or family responsibilities.
At Willow, intensive outpatient treatment includes proven therapy, medication support, and holistic care. Our rehab program is designed to help you rebuild with clarity and strength.
Why Choose Willow’s IOP Drug and Alcohol Rehab?
We understand that every journey is different. Our IOP meets you where you are, with a flexible and supportive environment built by people who’ve been there. Many of our team members have personal experience with recovery. This shapes the way we show up for you: honestly, compassionately, and without judgment.
You’ll get comprehensive care in-person, online, or through a hybrid program. We treat the whole person, not just the addiction.

Excellent experience I had with everyone in this program. They were here for me in my darkest times. Helped me work through it.
