INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM (IOP) 

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a high therapeutic intensity and person-centered recovery focus program. It is an outpatient program that meets 3 hours a day, 3 days a week. IOP clients receive intensive day treatment and return home at night to practice their recovery skills. Clients may choose to enter CommonHealth Recovery treatment at this level of care. They may also step down from a Residential Treatment Program based upon their individual need. IOP may also be a good alternative to a Residential Treatment Program if a client has an appropriate, supportive living environment and is able to manage daily activities without round-the-clock supervision.

Intensive Outpatient structured programming services provided to beneficiaries, a minimum of nine (9) hours per week and given on no less than three (3) days per week for adults, and a minimum of six (6) hours per week and given on no less than two (2) days per week for adolescents, when determined to be medically necessary and in accordance with an individualized treatment plan.

Services provided in the Intensive Outpatient Program include:

  • Individual therapy
  • Group therapy
  • Educational groups
  • Family therapy (includes Family Enrichment Program events)
  • Peer and community support
  • Psychiatric evaluation and medication management
  • Case management

CommonHealth Recovery is proud to offer Evening Intensive Outpatient Program, designed to meet the needs of patients who can’t attend treatment during regular business hours.

It can be difficult balancing addiction treatment sessions with a demanding work schedule. CommonHealth Recovery’s nighttime IOP offers the flexibility to maintain full-time employment during the day while attending treatment in the evenings. Individual sessions are determined by each patient’s unique treatment plan.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions with CommonHealth’s counselors provide the opportunity for patients to address the underlying causes of the addiction. These sessions allow patients to privately discuss issues that they may be uncomfortable sharing in a group setting.

Group Therapy

Group therapy sessions allow peers to share success stories and useful coping mechanisms, as well as receive support during difficult points in their recovery journey. Group sessions help to remind each patient that they are not alone in their struggle to overcome addiction and allow them to build lasting relationships that they can lean on for support. .

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders and severe mental illness. Numerous research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life.

Co-Occurring Disorder Care

It is common for patients in recovery to suffer from co-occurring disorders or mental health disorders that trend along with substance use disorders. For instance, a person may seek treatment for opioid addiction and, during an assessment, our clinical staff may discover that the patient also suffers from PTSD. In this case, each disorder must then be treated in the context of the other to support lasting successful recovery, so treatment plans are crafted that allow therapy to address both co-occuring issues. Common mental health disorders that co-occur with addiction include depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, schizophrenia, and many others.

Medication Assisted Treatment

Medication-assisted treatment combines behavioral therapy with FDA-approved medications such as Suboxone that decrease cravings and prevent withdrawal. Many patients benefit from this combination of therapies to addresses the physical symptoms of addiction and withdrawal while they learn healthier ways of thinking and acquire coping mechanisms to handle cravings.

Medication Assisted Treatment

Patients attending our programs will have access to medical services to monitor medication effectiveness and any other health issues that might present a challenge to well-being or sobriety. Our physicians and nurse practitioners are trained to probe for co-occurring physical health concerns that pose as a risk to your recovery.
