If you are searching for IOP with housing near you, you are asking a narrower question than the search results assume. You do not want a list of outpatient programs and a separate list of sober houses. You want one place where both already exist, so the schedule works and nobody has to drive an hour between them.
Eudaimonia runs both in Austin, Houston, San Antonio and Colorado Springs. That is the short answer. The rest of this page is what pairing them actually involves, and what to do if you are somewhere else.
Where you can do both with us
Austin, Houston, San Antonio and Colorado SpringsIntensive outpatient and sober living housing in the same city, run by the same organization.
We also have houses in Philadelphia and Baton Rouge. Whether an outpatient program runs alongside the house in a given market changes, so ask admissions rather than trusting any page for it, including this one. If the answer is that you would attend an outside program, that works and plenty of residents do it; it just means two intakes, two sets of paperwork and a commute worth looking at on a map first.
If a city matters more than the pairing, say so when you call. Living somewhere with a bed and a good outside program usually beats relocating for a package deal.
What does "IOP with housing" actually mean?
Two separate things that happen to be arranged together.
The IOP is clinical: structured group sessions several times a week, usually a few hours at a time, with counselors. It is treatment, and it is generally billable to insurance.
The housing Is a drug- and alcohol-free home with rules, testing, a curfew and other people in recovery. It is not treatment, and it is generally not billable, you pay rent for it.
Anyone describing the two as one product is blurring something you will find out about at the first invoice. Ask for the cost of each separately.
What does a week actually look like?
Most of it is ordinary life. IOP takes a few evenings or mornings a week; the rest is work, or looking for work, or school.
The part people underestimate is that the house has its own requirements running alongside the program: testing, curfew, chores, meetings, and being somewhere at a set time. Two structures at once is the whole point, and it is also why the first fortnight is the hardest.
If you are working, ask about session times before you accept a job shift. That single question prevents most of the scheduling failures we see.

Who is this right for?
It fits people leaving residential treatment who are not ready to go straight home, people who need clinical support but not a bed in a hospital, and people whose home address is itself part of the problem.
It is the wrong level of care if you are still physically dependent, withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines can be dangerous and needs medical supervision first. It is also wrong if you need supervision overnight; neither a sober house nor an outpatient program provides that.
Someone assessing you should be able to tell you which level you need. If nobody has, that conversation comes before this one.
What insurance does and does not cover
Insurance often covers the IOP, because it is treatment. It generally does not cover the housing, because it is rent.
That split is the single most common surprise in this whole arrangement. When you verify benefits, verify them for the program and ask separately what the room costs, two questions, not one.
How to start
One call covers both sides in the four cities where we run them together. Admissions can tell you what is open, what the program schedule is, and what the room costs before you commit to anything.
Each city page carries its own number and its own current availability, so start from the one you want: Austin, Houston, San Antonio or Colorado Springs. Ask for the program schedule and the room cost in the same call. They are two different answers and you want both before you decide.
Or apply online. If what you need is somewhere we do not have it, say so on the call and ask what is worth looking at locally.
