Intensive outpatient treatment, also known as "IOP", is a method of treatment for a substance abuse problem that is significantly more involved and comprehensive than a normal outpatient program. Intensive outpatient treatment is fundamental aspect of recovery for people in Longview who have just completed residential or inpatient rehabilitation, and still require moderate support and intervention while they transition to a drug free and productive lifestyle. IOP's involve therapy which occurs much more frequently than regular outpatient, where the person will participate in treatment services and activities on a part time basis unless otherwise determined.
Intensive outpatient treatment typically consists of individual and group counseling and therapy meetings 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 essential for long term recovery. While in intensive outpatient treatment, focus is placed on building relapse prevention abilities, managing every day stresses and vulnerabilities, and how to manage any lingering withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Some intensive outpatient treatment programs include family and couples/marriage counseling into the recovery process, which may be essential for people who must rebuild their relationships with their loved ones and family members.
