Intensive outpatient treatment, or "IOP", is a form of recovery from an addiction problem that is significantly more comprehensive and involved than a normal outpatient program. Intensive outpatient treatment is an essential action for people in Buffalo who have recently finished inpatient or residential rehab, and still want adequate assistance and intervention while they transition to a sober and ethical way of living. IOP's involve treatment which occurs much more often than standard outpatient, where the person will participate in the treatment on a part time basis unless otherwise adjudicated.
Intensive outpatient treatment usually involves individual and group counseling meetings to continue to treat the individual's addiction. Individual sessions may take place at least once a week, and group sessions will add the peer support that is essential for long term recovery. In intensive outpatient treatment, focus is placed on building relapse prevention skills, managing every day stresses and triggers, and how to manage any lingering withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings. Some intensive outpatient rehab programs include family and couples/marriage counseling into the treatment process, which can be beneficial for people who need to repair their relationships with their families and loved ones.
