Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Launch Checklist
Start Your Compliant & Profitable IOP Program
They think it’s about a license, a building, and a few clinicians.
Reality check: it’s about systems, compliance, and cash flow.
Here’s the new playbook:
Start with compliance, not couches.
Get your billing and credentialing set before your first client walks in.
Build cash reserves for 90 days of operations minimum.
Train your team like lives depend on it, because they do.
Partner with people who understand both care and cash flow.
