Sunrise Clinical Services Expands Behavioral Health Access with the Launch of Its Evening Intensive Outpatient Program
Sunrise Clinical Services launches its Evening IOP, removing barriers and providing flexible, after-hours behavioral-health support for those balancing work and family.
Newark, Essex County, New Jersey — December 2025
In response to the urgent need for expanded behavioral-health services, Sunrise Clinical Services has launched a new Evening Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) a strategic initiative designed to reduce critical access barriers for individuals living with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental-health conditions. This expansion ensures that working adults, parents, and those facing housing instability can receive treatment without jeopardizing employment or essential family responsibilities.
As a leading provider in Newark and Essex County, Sunrise Clinical Services is distinguished by a holistic, evidence based approach that prioritizes dignity, respect, and individualized care. The new nighttime IOP complements the organization’s existing array of services including Partial Care, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), and daytime outpatient programs reflecting a continued commitment to recovery that adapts to the realities of modern life.
National experts have long noted that limited availability of treatment outside standard business hours represents one of the most significant barriers to care in the United States. According to recent analyses from SAMHSA, nearly half of individuals in need of addiction treatment cite scheduling conflicts as their primary obstacle. This initiative directly confronts that inequity.
“Our responsibility is to meet patients where they are without forcing them to choose between healing and economic survival,” said Mohammed Naeem, Founder and President of Sunrise Clinical Services. “Recovery must be possible for everyone, regardless of their schedule. When we open our doors at night, we open the door to a second chance at life. Expanding access is a matter of justice and we are proud to lead the way.”
The Evening IOP provides:
• Full clinical services after traditional work hours
• Evidence-based treatment for substance use and co-occurring disorders
• Individual, group, and family counseling
• MAT support and monitoring
• Case management and recovery planning
• Telehealth options for continuity of care
Clinical leadership emphasizes that removing barriers to treatment directly improves engagement, outcomes, and long-term recovery.
“Every barrier eliminated is another life that can be saved,” Naeem added. “This program is not merely an extension of hours it is a measurable investment in equity, community health, and dignity.”
Sunrise Clinical Services maintains strong collaborations with hospitals, recovery courts, and community organizations to ensure rapid referrals and sustained treatment pathways. The facility accepts Medicaid, SAI, Recovery Court, IDRC, self-pay, sliding scale, and select private insurance options.
