Adult IOP Substance Abuse/Addiction Treatment Program

The Intensive Outpatient Program design at ICCT is research and evidence based to provide competent, effective, efficient, sensitive and culturally responsive treatment services. ICCT offers treatment to men and women 18 years old and over and have a primary diagnosis of an alcohol and/or substance use or abuse related disorder and utilizes a cognitive approach to support long-term change. Since many clients report substance abuse and/or mental health problems significant enough to interfere in all areas of their functioning, services will be tailored to meet the specific needs of the client and are designed to address dual diagnosis issues such as substance abuse, personality disorders and mental illness concurrently.

The primary purpose of the program is to help adults develop the basic skills needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle that is drug and alcohol free. Chemical abuse/dependence is treated from a holistic perspective including psychological, physical, spiritual and social issues. We offer a variety of treatment options to individualize therapy, increase a skill repertoire to prevent relapse, address continuity of care, promote 12 Step program involvement and enhance the clientÕs therapeutic gains through aftercare and on-going recovery interventions. Structured materials from a variety of evidenced based models will assist clients in developing long-term relapse prevention strategies such as: time management; leisure time management; self regulation; mood management; self knowledge; coping skills; assertiveness; realistic goal setting; stress management; communication and maintenance and aftercare. The program also addresses the challenges facing anyone in recovery, i.e. self-esteem, interpersonal relationships and handling the demands and stresses of each day. An important element of the program design is to provide treatment at an appropriate level of care in the least restrictive environment.

The Intensive Outpatient services include:

Screening and Orientation

Assessment

Treatment Planning

24-hour Crises Management

Individual Therapy

Group Therapy

Specialized Women's Treatment Program

Psycho-educational Classes and Workshops

Family and Client Education

Case Management

Discharge and Transitional Service Planning

Family, Marital and Couples Therapy

Referral and Coordination

Each client will have a primary therapist who will supervise her/his case including all treatment referrals and recommendations, case management, client advocacy, family and community coordination, crises intervention, outreach and supplemental services.

The core curriculum of group and classes will be provided for a minimum 9 hours per week and a minimum of 3 days per week. This intensive program is highly individualized and clients may work ÒindependentlyÓ using materials and workbooks designed specifically for their substance of choice. Each client will develop their own personal recovery plan.

The structured and highly focused treatment services of the Intensive Outpatient Program target specifically those:

Who have been unsuccessful in achieving treatment goals through participation in traditional outpatient services;

Who desire to prevent further relapse and potential admission to an inpatient or residential setting;

Who may be unwilling or unable to participate in a 24-hour program due to obligations, work, care taking, etc.;

Who require the structure of an intensive service following discharge from an inpatient or residential/detoxification program.

ICCT offers many specialized workshops and classes, including the following:

Alcohol and Drug Relapse Prevention

Cognitive Restructuring Workshop

Daily Living Skills Workshop

Anger Management

Parenting Workshop

Effective Communication Workshop

Victim Empathy Workshop

Specialized WomenÕs Treatment

Substance Abuse Treatment for women will address the physical and emotional needs of female clients including pregnant women, women with dependent children and the mature woman. Therapeutic interventions in treatment may address issues such as relationships, sexual and physical abuse, parenting, managing anger, codependency, employment and referral for children and other family members. Special attention will be paid to health and prenatal issues. All women will be asked about her children/dependents, their health, school adjustment, family adjustment, emotional and psychological adjustment and general well-being. These services will be gender specific and may include: case management to assist in establishing eligibility for public assistance programs; employment and training programs; transportation assistance; education and special education programs; drug free housing opportunities for women and their children; recreation; daycare for children; legal services for women; and other social supports to assist women in remaining drug free.
