What is an Intensive Outpatient Program?

Most intensive outpatient programs begin after the patient has completed a detoxification program and is ready to move on to focused recovery efforts. The purpose of an IOP is to allow the patient to get effective addiction treatments without devoting their entire schedules to staying in a rehab center like New Spirit Recovery.

Using a variety of treatment options and therapies, we can build an IOP that works for you and acknowledges your busy schedule. While you might need to make some scheduling compromises based on the treatments you need, we will try our best to organize treatments and therapies that provide you with some flexibility. We understand that people are more likely to complete rehab and attain lasting sobriety if the treatment options are convenient and stress-free, so we emphasize the importance of using an IOP that acknowledges your other obligations.

Different parts of your IOP could include:

• Frequent therapy sessions, possibly including one-on-one therapy.
• Family or group therapy sessions to put your recovery and addiction into perspective.
• Updates about your progress and what is up next in your IOP.
• Coaching and encouragement to set you up for lasting sobriety when the IOP ends.

What are the Goals of IOP?

Like any addiction treatment plan, the overall goal of an intensive outpatient program is to allow you to regain sobriety and make it last once the program is over. However, IOPs can have more specific goals than other programs, or they might use different steps to get to those goals. No matter what your goals for sobriety are, let New Spirit Recovery and our addiction recovery specialists help you achieve them.

Your treatment goals in an IOP may include the following and more:

• Replacing addictive behaviors with healthy habits.
• Identifying triggers that started or worsened your addiction.
• Managing stress without needing any external factors.
• Setting realistic goals for your personal life and profession if applicable.
• Creating a support network that can help you when the IOP is over.
• Learning how to take responsibility for your actions and the consequences that follow.

Benefits of IOP

IOPs for addiction treatment offer a flexible and effective approach for individuals seeking recovery from substance abuse. Here are some of the key benefits:

• Flexibility: Unlike residential or inpatient programs, IOPs allow participants to maintain their daily routines, such as work, school, or family commitments. This flexibility can be crucial for individuals who cannot afford to take extended time away from their responsibilities.
• Structured Support: Despite being outpatient, IOPs provide structured support with regular sessions, typically several times a week. This structure helps individuals establish a routine and stay committed to their recovery journey.
• Access to Resources: IOPs often provide access to a wide range of resources, including therapy, counseling, group sessions, educational workshops, and medical support. This comprehensive approach addresses various aspects of addiction and helps individuals develop coping strategies and life skills necessary for long-term recovery.
• Peer Support: Group therapy sessions in IOPs offer the opportunity for participants to connect with others who are going through similar experiences. This peer support can be incredibly beneficial, as it helps reduce feelings of isolation and shame, while also fostering a sense of belonging and community.
• Continuity of Care: Many IOPs are designed to be part of a continuum of care, meaning individuals can transition seamlessly from more intensive forms of treatment, such as inpatient rehab, to outpatient care as they progress in their recovery journey. This continuity ensures that individuals receive ongoing support and guidance as they navigate the challenges of recovery.
• Real-world Application: Since individuals in IOPs continue to live in their own environments, they have the opportunity to apply the skills and strategies they learn in treatment to real-life situations immediately. This practical application can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment and better prepare individuals for the challenges they may face post-treatment.
• Cost-Effective: Compared to residential or inpatient treatment, IOPs are often more cost-effective, as they do not require the same level of around-the-clock care and accommodation. This affordability makes addiction treatment more accessible to a wider range of individuals.

Who Should Use IOP to Fight Substance Addiction?

IOPs are helpful for many people who are struggling with substance addiction, but not everyone will need an IOP. On the other hand, some people will need a different treatment option to better manage and fight their addictions, such as residential treatments or dual diagnosis treatments, so an IOP might not be the right choice. Our addiction treatment team would be happy to sit down with you to discuss your treatment options and goals, so we can determine together if an IOP will help.

Generally, people who benefit the most from an intensive outpatient program are:

• People who are the main source of income for their households.
• College students with busy semesters.
• Parents with family responsibilities that can’t be passed to a trusted friend or family member.
• People who have completed a residential program and still need rehab support.
