Intensive outpatient treatment, or "IOP", is a type of recovery from a substance abuse problem that is substantially more comprehensive and involved than a regular outpatient program. Intensive outpatient treatment is an essential action for recovering individuals in Bethesda who have just completed residential or inpatient rehab, and still want adequate support and encouragement while they transition to a clean and sober and productive way of living. IOP's involve treatment which occurs much more often than regular outpatient, where clients will participate in treatment services and activities on a part time basis unless otherwise adjudicated.
Intensive outpatient treatment typically involves group and sometimes individualized counseling sessions to continue to help address the person's addiction. Individual sessions may take place at least once a week, and group sessions will add the peer support that is essential for long term recovery. 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 rehab programs offer family and couples/marriage counseling into the recovery process, which can be vital for individuals who must rebuild their lives with their families and loved ones.
