Our Intensive Outpatient Program consists of 3 three-hour group sessions per week with 6 to 10 patients per group. The sessions are in the early evenings in order to provide intensive treatment with the least amount of disruption to each patient's work, school, or family schedule. Our groups consist of nutritional counseling, DBT and life skills training, didactic and experiential groups, process groups, and supervised meals and gentle eating exercises.

The program is designed to support those with a primary diagnosis of chemical dependency and co-occurring mental health issues such as depression and anxiety while continuing to working, attend school, and managing other daily responsibilities while benefiting from a highly structured and intensive treatment experience. The goal of IOP is to assist patients in developing cognitive, emotional and behavioral coping skills to employ in their daily lives, while having a supportive environment in which they can process these changes.

Our compassionate and experienced practitioners in Knoxville offer hope and healing to those struggling with food and nutritional issues, body disturbances, anxiety, depression, stress, eating disorders, trauma, relationship issues, and related life challenges. The IOP program is available to both males and females ages 13 and up.
