Intensive Outpatient Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Athens, NY.

Intensive outpatient treatment, also known as "IOP", is a type of treatment for a substance abuse problem that is significantly more involved and comprehensive than a normal outpatient program. Intensive outpatient treatment is a vital activity for people in Athens who have just finished residential or inpatient rehab, and still want moderate support and intervention while they transition to a sober and ethical lifestyle. IOP's involve therapy which occurs much more often than standard outpatient, where the person will participate in treatment services and activities on a part time basis unless otherwise adjudicated.

Intensive outpatient treatment normally involves individual and group counseling meetings to continue to treat the person's addiction. Individual sessions will occur at least once a week, and group sessions can provide the peer support that is essential for long term recovery. In intensive outpatient treatment, clients work on refining relapse prevention skills, managing every day challenges and triggers, and how to manage any lingering withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings. Some intensive outpatient treatment centers involve family and couples/marriage counseling into the recovery process, which can be beneficial for people who must repair their lives with their loved ones and family members.
