IOP seems like a good choice, right? But what is it, and is it ideal for your current situation?

Therapy to Treat Substance Use Addiction

What Is Intensive Outpatient Rehab?

An IOP (intensive outpatient program) is a form of mental wellness care that is a step up from typical outpatient therapy, which involves seeing a therapist once or twice a week in the therapist’s facility. In an IOP, you will most likely get therapy (that is, group and private) for two to three hours per day, up to five days per week.

Criteria

Who is the ideal fit to receive an IOP program? To be approved for our drug abuse IOP in House of Zen, you have to meet a few requirements, including:

You have finished an inpatient treatment.
You must be available at least part-time for outside duties, such as childcare, jobs, or school.
You have the abilities and coping skills necessary for more independence.
An inpatient treatment program fits outside your therapy budget.
You have close companions who will help and encourage you (optional).

Individualized treatment strategies are necessary for effective addiction therapy. House of Zen facility provides a treatment plan throughout your recovery.

Types of IOPs

Though IOPs initially began for dealing with drug use challenges. Some types use for IOPs may include:

Depression/Anxiety
Bipolar Disease
Dual diagnosis
Substance use
Eating disorder
Self-harm

How Long Is an Intensive Outpatient Treatment?

IOP programs provide at least 9 service hours each week during 3-hour sessions. The duration of these sessions varies from person to person, and the person’s mental health. The average period of thorough outpatient therapy is between 3 and 4 months.

The duration of drug treatment in IOPs may be prolonged than that needed in inpatient care. Individuals who go through outpatient therapy stay in their homes, reducing expenses and learning to heal in their communities.

Core Services of IOP Treatment

IOP involves a core set of services, which is included in the standard therapy package for all patients. Depending on individual needs, additional support, such as parenting services or transportation arrangements, may also be provided during intense outpatient therapy.
An intensive outpatient program provides the following essential services:

Group Counseling and Therapy

Group therapy is an incredibly major component of an outpatient therapy approach. Recent studies indicate that group relapse-prevention training is equally beneficial as one-on-one therapy. Group therapy helps intensive outpatient therapy services reduce expenses compared to more costly private counseling.

The group therapy supports patients by:

communication skills and coping abilities
Developing a friendly environment where patients confront one another when required.
Make the patient’s life more structured and disciplined.
Developing standards, promoting positive ways to interact in a secure and supportive therapeutic setting is essential for recovery.
Giving individuals in an intensive outpatient treatment program a chance to share fresh ideas, and learn new skills.

Skills Training

• Drug or alcohol denial training – addiction therapy training in which patients practice denying an appeal of substance usage.
• Relapse prevention strategies – When patients identify triggers and high-risk circumstances involving drug addiction and learn how to avoid them.
• Positive reinforcement – Training that allows individuals to differentiate between self-confidence, rage, and apathetic behaviors. Patients in IOP programs are encouraged to exercise aggressive behavior.
• Coping with stress – Training that educates people on how to detect triggers of stress and how to react to them.
• Support groups – These are groups consisting of rehab individuals in the exact same phase of recovery and facing similar challenges.

Individual Counseling

Individual counseling is a valuable addition to group treatment. Patients with co-occurring drug misuse should get private psychiatric therapies as well as addiction counseling.

Therapy in IOP programs in the House of Zen often focuses on the current challenges caused by a patient’s drug use disorder. Individual IOP treatment focuses on the patient’s capability to achieve and maintain recovery.

During the beginning phase, an individual therapy session lasting 30 to 50 minutes is planned at least once a week.
