Intensive Outpatient Treatment

Our Intensive Outpatient Program is the perfect way to ease your way into recovery by applying a gentle and steady approach, we get to the heart of addiction. This approach is ideal for those with busy schedules that demand their full attention.

Our intensive outpatient program can be a great option for people who experience from less severe substance abuse issues.  This course of treatment allows the most flexibility and the client can receive treatment while still living at home.

What Happens in an IOP?

In an intensive outpatient program (IOP), patients attend classes focusing on psychotherapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy. Relapse prevention strategies like recognizing drug abuse triggers and developing coping skills for difficult situations. 

Depending on the situation, medication management may also be used to help the person deal with uncomfortable cravings or mental health issues. The classes typically involve lectures, discussion groups, art therapy classes, or 12-step meetings led by trained therapists or counselors who specialize in drug addiction counseling. 

During these sessions, participants learn about the nature of their addiction as well as effective strategies for avoiding relapse down the road, such as mindfulness.  Additionally, most programs also offer family counseling services so that loved ones can get involved in the recovery process too!  

Other treatment services offered during an IOP treatment plan can include the following: 

  • Yoga classes
  • Meditation classes
  • Art therapy groups
  • Family therapy
  • Support groups
  • Case management
  • Interventions

How long do IOPs last?

Most intensive outpatient programs last anywhere from 4 weeks up to several months, depending on the severity of the substance use disorder. During this period, it is important to stay committed to attending all your scheduled classes and meetings so that you can make progress toward your ultimate goal of achieving sobriety! 

After completing the program successfully, you will have all the tools necessary to maintain long-term sobriety moving forward.

Is our IOP right for you or your loved one?

Intensive Outpatient is a program that allows a certain degree of freedom and as such, is appropriate for those that have already gone through detox and are free of substance use. If you are not sure if you the IOP program is right for you, some of the questions you can ask yourself are:

  • Have you completed detoxification and are free from all physical side-effects and withdrawal symptoms?
  • Do you want to increase your chances of success in your recovery by continuing through a treatment program that helps you transition back into a normal lifestyle with professional support?
  • Are you unable to control your substance use through a standard outpatient setting?
  • Are you currently working or studying and need a program that is flexible and tailored to your active schedule?

If the answer to one or more of these questions is yes, then our IOP program may be a great fit for you or your loved one.
