Intensive Outpatient is traditionally for the person who has difficulty maintaining sobriety without strong weekly structure and support.

This level of care is for the client who may not be in active addiction to drugs or alcohol but who has shown troubling signs that they may develop them without intervention. This group is often where a client will be referred after a DUI or other substance related issue to learn all aspects of healthy living to divert from the onset of future addictive behaviors.

Relapse prevention is often a step down from IOP to help a client move into longer term recovery. This group relies on mindfulness training and regular therapeutic contact to help a client learn the skills necessary to remain clean and sober. Mindfulness training when used in conjunction with good community support (like AA meetings) has shown to be more than twice as effective at helping to maintain sobriety long term.
