Intensive Outpatient Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Petal, MS.

Intensive outpatient treatment, or "IOP", is a type of treatment for a substance abuse problem that is significantly more comprehensive and involved than a standard outpatient program. Intensive outpatient treatment is fundamental aspect of recovery for clients in Petal who have just finished residential or inpatient rehab, and still want adequate support and encouragement while they progress to a sober and productive lifestyle. IOP's involve therapy which takes place much more frequently than normal outpatient, where the person will participate in the treatment on a part time basis unless otherwise determined.

Intensive outpatient treatment typically involves group and sometimes individualized counseling sessions to continue to treat the person's addiction. Individual sessions often occur at least once a week, and group sessions will provide the peer support that is often crucial for long term sobriety. While in intensive outpatient treatment, focus is placed on improving relapse prevention skills, the management of every day challenges and vulnerabilities, and how to manage any lingering withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings. Some intensive outpatient treatment centers incorporate family and couples/marriage counseling into the treatment process, which can be beneficial for individuals who must rebuild their lives with their loved ones and family members.
