Intensive Outpatient Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Potsdam, NY.

Intensive outpatient treatment, or "IOP", is a form of recovery from a substance abuse problem that is significantly more involved and comprehensive than a normal outpatient program. Intensive outpatient treatment is an essential aspect of recovery for individuals in Potsdam who have just finished residential or inpatient rehabilitation, and still need moderate support and encouragement while they transition to a sober and ethical lifestyle. IOP's consist of therapy which occurs more frequently than conventional outpatient, where the person will participate in treatment services and activities on a part time basis unless otherwise determined.

Intensive outpatient treatment typically consists of individual and group counseling and therapy sessions to continue to work on the individual's addiction. Individual sessions will take place at least once a week, and group sessions can add the peer support that is vital for long term recovery. In intensive outpatient treatment, focus is placed on improving relapse prevention skills, the management of every day stresses and vulnerabilities, and how to manage any lingering withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Some intensive outpatient treatment programs incorporate family and couples/marriage counseling into the recovery process, which may be beneficial for people who need to repair their lives with their families and loved ones.
