Who may consider an evening schedule

An evening schedule may be worth discussing for adults balancing daytime work, education, caregiving, or other responsibilities. It does not remove the need for consistent participation. Transportation, travel time, and the impact of returning home later should be weighed carefully.
- Evening hours may fit around daytime responsibilities
- Assessment guides whether evening IOP may fit your needs
Schedule preference does not determine clinical fit. An assessment helps clarify substance use and mental health concerns, previous treatment, medications, and current circumstances. Admissions can explain the process and available options, but it cannot guarantee placement in the evening IOP or any particular outcome.

Facility hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, while the evening program occurs later. Callers should confirm how communication and scheduling are handled.

What is the evening IOP schedule?
The schedule is Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:15 PM to 9:15 PM. Prospective participants should reconfirm the days and times directly before arranging transportation, work changes, or other commitments.
Does an evening schedule mean IOP has less structure?
Evening timing describes when the program meets, not whether it is clinically appropriate or structured. An assessment is used to discuss level-of-care needs. Admissions can explain current expectations and how evening IOP compares with other outpatient options.

The published PHP, IOP, and therapy options are outpatient and do not involve an overnight stay. An immediate medical or safety emergency requires emergency services or a suitable crisis resource. Care coordination and referrals may help with non-emergency next steps.

The evening schedule may work around daytime employment, but regular travel to Columbus, GA is required. Sessions are listed for Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6:15 to 9:15 PM, and the schedule should be reconfirmed.
