Outpatient Treatment Options

The intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a step-up from basic outpatient treatment, providing a more in depth level of participation in the program, with an intensity level between that of the Day Program and Outpatient Treatment. Where a basic outpatient program may involve just two sessions per week, an IOP may involve nine hours per week. All levels of outpatient treatment include:

• Individual talk therapy sessions. In psychotherapy the client will explore past traumas or deep-seated emotional pain that may be contributing to the addictive behaviors. Only in identifying, processing, and treating the underlying factors can rehab be truly effective. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps clients change disordered thought and behavior patterns that keep them stuck in a loop of self-destructive behaviors, replacing these with healthy, affirming thoughts that lead to productive behaviors.

• Group therapy sessions. Peer interaction and support is an essential programming element in addiction treatment. In the group sessions, a clinician will guide discussion toward topics that allow clients to open up and share about their struggles or successes in a safe, nurturing environment.
