Intensive Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment

Days: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday

Time: 5pm-8pm

8 weeks of Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

6 weeks of Aftercare + 2 individual sessions aimed at reducing recidivism.

Simply Amazing Family Environment provides evidence-based substance abuse treatment, including IOP, to help individuals recover from addiction, dependence, and abuse of all drug-related substances. Engagement in the Intensive Outpatient Program will decrease recidivism by identifying resources and coping skills necessary to obtain and maintain sobriety. This specialized substance abuse treatment assists in identifying triggers and patterns of behavior that lead to substance use, helping participants abstain completely from all drug use.

The purpose of the IOP is to aid clients in their addiction recovery by healing not only from the physical effects of addiction but also addressing the emotional and psychological impacts associated with mental health issues. 

As you continue your journey toward successful recovery, our IOP program offers a customized level of support and care. Our trained staff will collaborate with you to strengthen the skills needed for healthy coping and relapse prevention. We provide individualized plans for counseling, group therapy, and other services as you transition to more independent care.

Participation in a group setting offers support for clients in various ways. It enhances communication skills and provides a new resource for socialization, which is particularly important in addiction recovery, as individuals often find their previous social circles were centered around drug or alcohol use. 

Group therapy provides an environment where people in similar situations can offer support, comfort, and honest feedback. It reinforces healthy ways of interacting and creates a safe space that is vital for recovery efforts. Group members who are further along in their recovery process often provide valuable assistance and empathy to those who are just beginning their journey. 

Additionally, it serves as a forum for therapists and group leaders to share important information, teach new skills, and guide clients through their substance abuse treatment. Groups can also be a place to witness positive behaviors associated with recovery and to practice new strategies for dealing with addiction. 

The IOP will include learning a variety of coping skills, such as:

- Skills-development to help clients practice specific behaviors in a safe setting.

- Psychoeducation, which provides emotional support and opportunities to learn about addiction, dependence, and the consequences of abuse, with a focus on developing problem-solving skills and techniques to alter ineffective belief systems.

- Refusal skills that allow clients to engage in role-playing exercises, rehearsing how to effectively handle invitations to use substances they are trying to break free from.

- Relapse prevention techniques designed to help clients identify triggers and high-risk situations, enabling them to avoid and manage these challenges. 

- Family sessions that focus on ways clients and their families can support one another. In these groups, participants will also learn about the effects of addiction on relationships and how to best navigate those challenges.
