Intensive Outpatient Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Athens, MI.

Intensive outpatient treatment, also known as "IOP", is a form of treatment for a substance abuse problem that is significantly more involved and comprehensive than a standard outpatient program. Intensive outpatient treatment is a vital activity for recovering individuals in Athens who have recently finished residential or inpatient rehabilitation, and still require moderate support and encouragement while they progress to a clean and sober and productive way of living. IOP's involve therapy which takes place much more often than conventional outpatient, where clients will take part in treatment services and activities usually once or twice a week unless otherwise adjudicated.

Intensive outpatient treatment usually consists of group and sometimes individualized counseling sessions to continue to treat the person's addiction. Individual sessions will take place at least once a week, and group sessions will add the peer support that is vital for long term sobriety. In intensive outpatient treatment, clients work on refining relapse prevention skills, the management of every day stresses and triggers, and how to manage any lingering withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Some intensive outpatient treatment centers involve family and couples/marriage counseling into the recovery process, which may be vital for people who need to rebuild their lives with their loved ones and family members.
