Where the San Antonio program meets
Briarwood’s San Antonio intensive outpatient program runs at 6707 W Hausman Rd, San Antonio, TX 78249, in the northwest of the city. Two groups meet each week and both can be attended in the room or online.
Most pages on this subject say a program meets “several times a week” and stop. That is a frequency, not a schedule, and you cannot plan a job or a school pickup around it. The days and times are below.

What intensive outpatient is, and when it fits
Intensive outpatient is structured treatment you attend on a schedule while living at home. It sits after withdrawal rather than through it, which is the distinction that decides whether it is the right level for you today.
In person or online — what hybrid actually means
Hybrid gets used loosely, so it is worth being precise. It means the same group, running at the same time, with the same people in it, that you can either drive to or join from a laptop. It is not a separate online-only program with a different roster, and it is not a recording you catch up on at the weekend.
It also means a car in the shop, a sick child at home, or a shift that moves at short notice does not have to cost you a session. In-person groups meet at 6707 W Hausman Rd, San Antonio, TX 78249, in the northwest of the city.
When this works well
- Withdrawal is managed, or was never a medical risk for you
- You have somewhere stable and substance-free to sleep
- Work, school or caring responsibilities rule out residential treatment
- You can find three private hours a session, three times a week
- Your shifts rotate, so one fixed slot was never going to work
When it does not
If stopping is physically dangerous for you — and with alcohol and benzodiazepines it can be — then detox comes first, and it is not something a group can do. San Antonio offers outpatient detox with scheduled medical visits; where round-the-clock monitoring is needed, that means Austin or Houston.
And if home is where the using happened, attending from that same room is a harder ask than it sounds. Residential treatment or sober living gives it a better chance, and we would say so on the call rather than sell you this.
How insurance usually handles it
Most major insurance covers medically necessary addiction treatment. What varies is not whether outpatient treatment is covered in principle but what your specific plan requires — deductible, copay per session, and sometimes a prior authorization before you start. Because that varies by plan rather than by program, a figure printed here would be a guess. Benefits are verified free before anything is scheduled.

Straight answers
San Antonio IOP — common questions
When does IOP meet in San Antonio?
Briarwood's San Antonio intensive outpatient program runs two groups a week: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 12:00pm – 3:00pm; and Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, 6:00pm – 9:00pm. Both meet at 6707 W Hausman Rd, San Antonio, TX 78249, and both can be attended in person or online.
Can I attend San Antonio IOP online?
Yes. Both groups are hybrid — the same group, at the same time, with the same people in it, that you can either drive to or join from a laptop. It is not a separate online-only cohort and not a recording to catch up on later.
Do I have to complete detox before starting IOP?
Intensive outpatient assumes withdrawal is already handled, so for many people detox comes first. Whether that applies to you is a clinical question an assessment answers, and it is the first thing to ask on the call rather than something to decide from a web page.
How long is each session?
Three hours, three times a week. That time covers group work, individual counseling, life skills and peer support rather than one continuous discussion.
Can I switch between the midday and evening groups?
Yes. Both groups cover the same material, so moving between them — or attending online for a while — is a scheduling conversation with your counselor rather than a clinical setback.
Where is San Antonio IOP located?
In-person sessions run at 6707 W Hausman Rd, San Antonio, TX 78249, in the northwest of the city. The same groups can be joined online, so the address matters only for the days you attend in the room.
Ask which group has a seat this week
Group sizes are capped and openings change weekly. An assessment settles whether intensive outpatient is the right level of care before anything is scheduled, and it costs nothing.
For what outpatient treatment involves at every level and how it fits with what comes before and after, read outpatient treatment. The same program runs in Austin and Houston, and can be attended online from Dallas.
If a mental-health condition is part of it
Most people in outpatient treatment are carrying something alongside the substance use. These pages describe how each one is handled during detox, and what continues afterwards.
