Virtual intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) blend evidence-based therapeutic approaches with the flexibility of online delivery. At Trinity Behavioral Health, our virtual intensive outpatient program offers a comprehensive slate of modalities designed to support individuals and couples on their recovery journey. Participants can expect a combination of individual therapy, group sessions, skills-based workshops, psychoeducation, and specialized therapies—all delivered through secure, interactive platforms that prioritize privacy and engagement.
In a typical virtual IOP, you will encounter:
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifying and reframing unhelpful thoughts to change behavioral patterns.
-
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
-
Motivational Interviewing (MI): Strengthening personal motivation and commitment to change.
-
Relapse Prevention: Developing strategies to recognize and manage triggers.
-
Psychoeducational Groups: Learning about the biology of addiction, stress management, and healthy coping skills.
-
Family and Couples Therapy: Engaging loved ones in the recovery process to rebuild trust and communication.
These core modalities are enhanced by the convenience of telehealth, allowing you to access treatment from home, uphold “pet friendly” routines, and maintain daily responsibilities without interruption.
Togetherness in Healing: Couples Stay, Room, and Heal Together
At Trinity Behavioral Health, we recognize the unique challenges couples face when both partners are in recovery. Our program is one of the few that ensures couples stay together, room together, heal together—never separating you during treatment. This approach:
-
Fosters Mutual Support: Partners share insights and hold each other accountable during group exercises and assignments.
-
Strengthens Relationship Bonds: By navigating recovery side by side, couples rebuild trust through shared milestones.
-
Streamlines Scheduling: Couples attend synchronized therapy sessions, reducing conflicts and enhancing consistency.
-
Creates a Safe Space: A joint healing environment diminishes isolation and cultivates empathy.
Whether you’re geographically apart or in the same household, our secure virtual platform accommodates couples’ pods, so you can engage together in real time—mirroring the benefits of on-site joint residential programs without the need for relocation.
Dedicated Couples Therapy with Specialized Counselors
Unlike individual therapy, couples therapy in our virtual IOP assigns you a socially designated couples therapist who differs from your personal therapist or substance-use counselor. This structure ensures:
-
Specialized Expertise: Couples therapists are trained in attachment theory, conflict resolution, and co-dependency dynamics.
-
Tailored Interventions: Sessions focus on communication drills, empathy exercises, and rebuilding intimacy—complementing your individual treatment plan.
-
Coordinated Care: Your individual therapist and drug/alcohol counselor regularly confer with the couples therapist to maintain unified treatment goals.
-
Privacy and Comfort: You participate in sessions from the privacy of home, preserving confidentiality.
By separating roles, we prevent overlapping agendas and offer targeted interventions that address relationship patterns influencing addiction and mental health—empowering both partners to thrive both individually and as a couple.
Comprehensive Insurance Coverage for Your Treatment
High-quality care shouldn’t be out of reach. Trinity Behavioral Health accepts most PPO insurance plans, which typically cover:
-
Program Fees: All virtual IOP services, including group and individual therapy.
-
Therapist Consultations: No-cost access to specialized couples and individual therapists.
-
Medical Visits: Pre-program assessments and ongoing psychiatric support, including medication management.
-
Psychoeducational Materials: Digital workbooks, videos, and resources for relapse prevention.

Our admissions specialists work directly with your insurer to verify benefits, minimize out-of-pocket expenses, and ensure a seamless billing process. Even ancillary costs—such as supplemental group modules or “pet friendly” wellness events—are often fully covered, so you can focus entirely on recovery.
