Intensive Outpatient
The intensive outpatient program is designed to meet the needs of clients with dual diagnosis, which occurs when substance abuse coexists with underlying mental health disorders. The program uses 12-step concepts and proven clinical treatment methods to help clients make positive changes in their lives.
The program's ultimate goal is to reduce symptoms and to improve the patient's level of functioning. Clients are allowed the opportunity to maintain employment and living situations.
Under the direction of a licensed chemical dependency counselor, treatment lasts a minimum of three hours per day, three times a week. Length of stay is generally six weeks but is based on individual need. Morning and evening sessions are available to accommodate all shifts.
The program includes:
- Comprehensive assessment
- Individualized treatment plan
- Court assessment
- Toxicology screening
- Group discussion
- Psycho-educational groups
- Linkage with community and social support systems
