Who runs an intensive outpatient program matters as much as what its website promises. A name and a face can help you ask a better question about the care you would actually receive. We looked at the 25 highest-scoring IOP records in our September 2026 research snapshot and pulled out the people named in each record.

“Top” here means most thoroughly documented in this set. These are research completeness scores, not ratings of treatment quality, outcomes, or a recommendation to choose one program over another. The list includes adolescent and adult programs with different clinical focuses. A high score cannot tell you whether a program fits your needs.

Each program name opens its directory listing. The person shown is one named leader or team member from that record. Ask the provider who currently oversees the specific IOP and who you would meet in treatment.

Some of the people and places

These provider photos make three entries easier to picture. The roles come from the linked location records; a staff listing does not confirm who leads groups or works at that particular site every day.

How to read the scores

The score adds evidence (up to 30 points), program detail (25), clinical fit information (25), and practical detail (20). It measures how much useful, supported information we found for a location, not clinical quality. Staff roles and program details can change; confirm them directly with the provider. This dated snapshot covers 25 records across 6 states and is not a survey of every IOP in the United States.
