Treatment Timeline

Treatment at Cafe Recovery by Arizona IOP is personalized to each client and the length of their stay. The following outlines a typical 60-day outpatient program; however, your treatment plan can be adjusted—either expedited or extended—based on your individual needs.

Day 1

Your first day will focus on meeting the staff, getting to know your fellow clients, and beginning group therapy.

During this time, you’ll also complete an intake assessment with our clinical team. This evaluation helps us create a fully personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs for the duration of your stay.

Day 2

Every client at Cafe Recovery – Arizona IOP is paired with a dedicated therapist and case manager who work together to ensure all needs are met both during and after treatment.

Your therapist and case manager will develop an initial treatment plan and assist with managing any outside responsibilities or challenges, such as medical appointments, court appearances, legal matters, impounded vehicles, probation requirements, bills, employment issues, and more—helping you create solutions and a clear path forward.

Day 3 - 54

Personalized treatment plans are typically completed within the first week. Once established, you can generally expect:

  • Weekly one-on-one meetings with your primary therapist, plus additional individual sessions as needed.
  • Daily group sessions covering topics such as anxiety therapy, talk therapy, neurofeedback, mental health support, wellness activities, and more.
  • Weekly progress assessments conducted by therapists.
  • Additional individualized therapist work designed to deepen self-reflection and personal growth.

Day 55-60

In the final days of treatment, clients meet with their therapist and case manager to develop a personalized aftercare plan.

Recovery and mental health care are lifelong journeys that continue well beyond a client’s stay. Establishing a strong aftercare plan is an essential part of this process and is tailored to each individual’s needs. Our case managers can help arrange sober living accommodations, connect clients with psychiatrists, find local support groups or sponsor meetings, coordinate ongoing MAT providers, and more—ensuring a smooth transition into sustained recovery.

Outpatient treatment may be shorter or longer than 60 days, depending on each client’s needs.
