The Evening Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Tunnel Vision Recovery is designed for individuals who need continued support on their journey to recovery but have daily responsibilities, such as work or school. This flexible program provides the structure and therapy needed to maintain sobriety, while allowing clients to continue managing their personal and professional lives.

This program typically runs for 3-5 days a week in the evenings, allowing clients to receive therapy and counseling without disrupting their daytime activities. It includes group therapy, individual counseling, life skills training, and relapse prevention strategies to help maintain long-term sobriety.

- People who have daytime responsibilities and need a program that fits around their work or school schedules.
- Clients who want to maintain their progress in recovery while integrating back into everyday life.
