Intensive Outpatient Program for Women (IOP)
The Friendly House IOP: In Our Power
For Women in Los Angeles Who Need More
The most vulnerable moments in recovery often come during transitions—when a client is leaving the safety of residential treatment, or when their current support system isn't quite meeting their needs. These pivot points demand programming that combines clinical excellence with real-world flexibility. We built the Friendly House intensive outpatient program to support women through these crucial phases, offering trauma-informed care that evolves just as they do.
Drawing on our 70+ years of experience in women's treatment, our program bridges this critical gap, offering clinical sophistication and trauma-informed care within a flexible structure that works with real women's lives. The Friendly House IOP can support clients who need this specialized level of care.
A Different Kind of Intensive Outpatient Program
Every woman’s story is different; but the need for understanding and support throughout the recovery journey remains the same. The Friendly House IOP, In Our Power, was created to offer deep, affirming work to women walking through that process. Together, a mix of clinical sophistication and an empowering perspective allows women to truly thrive.

The Friendly House Client
All women are always welcome at Friendly House. Our program is especially effective, though, for individuals who are stepping down from residential treatment, or working women who need more support than weekly therapy can provide. They may have trauma histories requiring specialized, gender-specific treatment, or want treatment that acknowledges cultural and identity-based experiences. At the same time, our dual-diagnosis approach easily accommodates both mental health and substance use disorders. Typical substance use disorders among clients include:
Adderall Abuse & Addiction
Alcohol Abuse & Addiction
Benzodiazepine Abuse & Addiction
Crack/Cocaine Abuse & Addiction
Fentanyl Abuse & Addiction
Heroin Abuse & Addiction
Marijuana Abuse & Addiction
Methamphetamine Abuse & Addiction
Opioids Abuse & Addiction
Xanax Abuse & Addiction
Ketamine Abuse & Addiction
And More

Residential Treatment at Friendly House in L.A.
For some women, however, IOP is not enough. If you have an unsafe home life or are not able to stay abstinent from drugs and alcohol in between sessions, residential treatment may be a better fit. Friendly House also offers residential treatment for women.
