Intensive outpatient treatment, or "IOP", is a type of treatment for an addiction problem that is significantly more involved and comprehensive than a regular outpatient program. Intensive outpatient treatment is an essential aspect of recovery for clients in Bristol who have just completed residential or inpatient rehabilitation, and still require adequate support and encouragement while they transition to a drug free and ethical way of living. IOP's involve treatment which occurs much more often than normal outpatient, where clients will participate in treatment services and activities on a part time basis unless otherwise adjudicated.
Intensive outpatient treatment usually involves group and sometimes individualized counseling sessions to continue to work on the person's addiction. Individual sessions often occur at least once a week, and group sessions can provide the peer support that is essential for long term sobriety. In intensive outpatient treatment, focus is placed on refining relapse prevention abilities, managing every day challenges and triggers, and how to manage any discomforts and cravings. Some intensive outpatient rehab centers incorporate family and couples/marriage counseling into the recovery process, which can be vital for individuals who need to repair their lives with their loved ones and family members.
