Intensive outpatient treatment, also known as "IOP", is a type of treatment for an addiction problem that is considerably more involved and comprehensive than a standard outpatient program. Intensive outpatient treatment is an essential aspect of recovery for people in Silver Spring who have recently completed inpatient or residential rehabilitation, and still need adequate support and intervention while they progress to a clean and sober and productive lifestyle. IOP's involve therapy which occurs more frequently than standard outpatient, where the person will participate in treatment services and activities usually once or twice a week unless otherwise determined.
Intensive outpatient treatment normally consists of group and sometimes individualized counseling and therapy meetings to continue to treat the person's addiction. Individual sessions may occur at least once a week, and group sessions can add the peer support that is often crucial for long term sobriety. In intensive outpatient treatment, focus is placed on refining relapse prevention skills, the management of every day stresses and vulnerabilities, and how to manage any lingering withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings. Some intensive outpatient rehab programs offer family and couples/marriage counseling into the recovery process, which can be beneficial for individuals who need to rebuild their relationships with their loved ones and family members.
