With an outpatient program, clients are able to learn in their outpatient settings and treatment on a multi-weekly basis while implementing what they learned in their daily lives.

Alcohol and drug abuse is a hard battle to face, but with dedication from clients, their family members, and our caring staff, we have had many successful stories come from intensive outpatient treatment services!

While doing any treatment program with outpatient services, we need to look at the whole picture of each individual client.

We work from the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) to properly create treatment plans for our clients. Addiction is categorized with 11 criteria that can be summarized in four main components:

• Physical dependence (feeling the need for the substance to function)
• Risky use (behaviors to obtain the substance that put you or others at risk)
• Social problems (losing relationships with family members or friends)
• Impaired control (having the desire to stop using the substance but unable to manage it)

Relapse management is an important component of any treatment program but a focal point of education in an intensive outpatient program setting.

In individual therapy sessions, you will learn individualized coping skills for your substance abuse triggers and co-occurring mental health issues. In group therapy, you will learn coping strategies from others’ intensive outpatient programs you can take with you forever.

When you successfully discharge from your intensive outpatient treatment program, you will continue with the relationships you built in support groups and be part of our family for life!

Partial care is a level of care needed for the highest risk clients suffering from substance use disorders. It is the most intensive outpatient treatment and includes six hour sessions five days per week. It is a level of care directly under inpatient services in residential treatment facilities.

An intensive outpatient  program is only three hours per day and is between 3-5 days per week. The hours are made to cater to clients’ needs in their schedules with either returning to or continuing their work or class schedule.

Every client’s individual needs for their addiction recovery are evaluated and provided during the first session with one of our clinical professionals.

An intensive outpatient treatment program consists of three hour sessions 3-5 days/week depending on the client’s individual needs. This includes group therapy, family therapy, individual therapy, individual counseling, etc.

An outpatient treatment program is one session, once per week, that helps clients along their long-term addiction recovery journey. Even after you successfully discharge from your intensive outpatient program (iop), you still remain welcome in our family to continue with outpatient treatment services, 12 step meetings, and/or Bible studies.

The Mental Health Services Administration characterizes an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for substance use disorders (SUD) as step-down from inpatient care, residential, and withdrawal management settings; or step-up treatment from individual or group outpatient treatment or medication assisted treatment alone.

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has concluded:

• IOP outcomes are comparable to those seen with residential services for clients with minimal risk of acute intoxication/withdrawal, health conditions, and psychological symptoms.
• IOP intensive outpatient program features improve treatment engagement, retention and outcomes, including shared decision making, mutual-support and recovery activities, CM, and vocational support.
• IOP is most effective if it is part of a continuum of care.
