Many in outpatient start as inpatient. Outpatient is to continue the treatment they received inpatient.

True, that's what IOP is intended for- as a step-down from inpatient. But I've seen situations where people walk into IOPs off the street for whatever reason- no inpatient beds, insurance says they only qualify for IOP, they don't want to stay there 24/7, etc. We don't actually know the reason in this situation.
