Adult Chemical Dependency Intensive Outpatient Program (CD-IOP)

The Adult CD-IOP assists patients in beginning a life of recovery while they remain in the community. Individuals in this program gain knowledge about addiction and recovery from a physical, psychological and habitual perspective.

Topics covered in this group-based program include:

• Relapse Prevention

• Sobriety Planning

• Stages of Change

• Trauma

• Cravings

• Healthy Relationships

• Stress Management

• Recovery Support System Development

While all treatment is in a group setting, individual treatment plans are developed with the Group Facilitator. Group Facilitators are professionals who are experienced in both chemical dependency and mental health issues.

Goals of treatment include:

• Interrupting the drug/alcohol use cycle

• Identifying and changing negative behavioral patterns

• Establishing communication patterns to improve relationships

• Identifying and encouraging lifestyle changes necessary to support on-going recovery

• Identifying signals of relapse triggers

The IOP meets three times per week, for three hours each session, for a total of eight weeks (24 sessions). There are two tracks available and individuals are able to start on any program day. The DAY program meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1:00pm - 4:00pm for 20 sessions and the EVENING program meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 6:00pm - 9:00pm for 20 sessions.

Program Philosophy

We believe that addiction is a brain disease which can be treated and recognize that many of those struggling with an addiction also have a co-occurring disorder (an addiction in addition to a mental health issue such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder). Our program is based on the understanding that the use of mood-altering substances manifests itself in physical, psychological, social and occupational functioning which not only affect the person using the chemical, but also family, friends and others in their social and work circle. We address each of these areas of functioning in order to build a strong foundation for recovery.

The Adult CD-IOP utilizes a Family Systems Model, which strongly encourages weekly family/support system participation. Emphasis is placed on family involvement while the adult is in the program.
