Helping adults to begin their recovery journey
Intensive Outpatient programs are structured individual, family and group activities that are provided in an outpatient setting. This time-limited, multi-faceted service is designed to assist adults to begin recovery and learn skills for recovery maintenance and includes linkage to community resources and supports.
Program Overview
The Intensive Outpatient program consists of a scheduled series of sessions appropriate to the person’s individual plan. Sessions generally take place three to five times a week with sessions lasting three to four hours. The program can include services provided during days and evenings.
The program can function as a step-down program from crisis stabilization, detoxification, residential or inpatient treatment. Intensive Outpatient may also be used to prevent or minimize the need for a more intensive and restrictive level of treatment and is considered to be more concentrated and integrated than traditional outpatient services.
