Effective treatment for drug and alcohol addiction requires a tailored treatment plan that considers an individual’s unique needs, dangers, strengths, support system, and recovery goals. Individuals work together with physicians, mental health providers, or addiction treatment experts to evaluate these aspects and develop a treatment plan, specifying a suitable level of care. For some individuals, the right level of care may be an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Reach out to us so we can help determine the treatment option that best fits your needs.
Understanding Intensive Outpatient Program
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) provide structured treatment for addiction and co-occurring disorders, typically involving a minimum of nine hours of therapy per week. The length of treatment, types of therapies offered, and the balance between group and individual sessions depend on the client’s needs and the specific design of the program. IOPs are often chosen due to their convenience and flexibility. In contrast to inpatient treatment, clients can obtain specialized therapy while simultaneously managing employment, family, schoolwork, and other obligations. It is essential to ascertain the appropriate degree of care with a qualified physician. In certain instances, clients may necessitate a higher standard of care before beginning an IOP. Factors such as previous treatment failures, severe symptoms, or challenging home environments may indicate the need for more intensive care before transitioning to an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).
Our Approach to Healing Through an Intensive Outpatient Program
Personalized care plans may include:
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) assists individuals in emotional control and relationship enhancement via mindfulness, tolerance for distress, and emotion regulation techniques.
- Medication Management. Our physicians may prescribe drugs to alleviate symptoms and promote long-term well-being.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the relationship among ideas, emotions, and behaviors to assist in identifying and modifying detrimental habits.
- 12-Step Program. The 12-Step facilitation goal is to educate individuals in Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) about the 12 Steps of recovery, assist them in initiating their progress through these steps, attain abstinence, and promote participation in community-based 12-Step organizations, including Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), or Cocaine Anonymous (CA).
