IOP in San Diego
Intensive outpatient programs are a great option for those who are no longer chemically dependent on drugs or alcohol and at high risk for relapse. Read further to learn more about IOP and if it is right for you or your loved one.
Advantages of IOP
Most people have obligations they cannot completely dismiss to enter full-time inpatient treatment. They cannot just leave work or family behind for an extended period of time. Since the person in IOP lives at home and only receives treatment for roughly three hours a day, they can still manage most normal daily life activities.
The best candidates for IOP are those who have a safe and supportive living environment. Those who live in a household with family members or roommates that have a drug or drinking habit are not recommended any form of outpatient treatment, since they will be more susceptible to relapse.
IOPs are also not recommended for people who have severe addictions or co-occurring disorders. Someone with a severe addiction problem should pursue an inpatient detox and at least 30 days of an inpatient rehabilitation program to stabilize their mind and body.
What to Expect From IOP
We ask that our patients in IOP come at least three times a week, and recommend 5 times a week. Treatment each day lasts roughly three hours. Plans, of course, can be adjusted and catered to each client’s specific needs.
When you join our program in San Diego, you will be given access to individual therapy, group therapy, holistic therapy, medication management, vocational therapy, and case management.
