Virtual IOP at Leora
Leora accepts Ohio Medicaid and all major commercial insurance.
Virtual IOP, short for virtual intensive outpatient program, is intensive outpatient treatment delivered by telehealth. Leora's program is fully remote: group sessions, individual counseling and medication management all take place through secure online platforms.
Admissions can tell you the session times for the daytime and evening virtual programs.
Who It Suits
Virtual IOP programs suit people who need structured treatment and want to stay at home. That includes:
- People in treatment for substance use whose work or family obligations fill the day, since that virtual program meets in the evening
- Anyone stepping down from inpatient rehab or a higher level of care, such as partial hospitalization
- People who live far from Columbus and Dayton
- Anyone without reliable transportation, or with a health condition that makes travel hard

Privacy Online
Group works when everyone can speak freely. Join from a room where nobody can overhear, use headphones if other people are nearby, and keep what others say in group to yourself. Do not record sessions or take screenshots. If you do not have a private place to sit for a full session, say so at the assessment.
What Telehealth Cannot Cover
Ambulatory detox takes place on site at Columbus and Dayton, where nurse practitioners and registered nurses assess and monitor you. If you are in withdrawal now, start there. For a suicide or mental health crisis, call or text 988, and in an emergency call 911.
Who Needs a Different Level
Admissions will recommend a different level of care for:
- Anyone currently in withdrawal
- A need for 24/7 care, which Leora does not provide
- Immediate risk of self-harm, which needs in-person help now
If remote sessions stop working for you partway through, tell your therapist. The change may be to in-person IOP at Columbus or Dayton, or up to partial hospitalization.
