As you work to recover from harmful chemical dependence, an intensive outpatient program allows people to live in sober living or in their own homes. At the same time, they attend outpatient addiction treatment during the day. At Crestview Recovery, our addiction treatment IOP can be an effective way to boost your recovery and connect with others in Portland who have experienced similar struggles. Contact our Portland rehab center to learn about the best options for you or a loved one by calling 866.262.0531.
Outpatient Drug Treatment
The exact details of a substance use intensive outpatient program curriculum are different for every client. Overall, however, one thing remains the same. An intensive outpatient program does not include overnight accommodation. This means that clients head home each evening to their own residence or to stay with family.
IOP is a stepping stone between inpatient rehab and outpatient care. While it isn’t a 24/7 environment, it is more intensive than traditional outpatient care. Clients can expect several hours of treatment several hours each week, although the specifics will depend on their schedules and their lifestyles.
Making Time for Individual Behavioral Therapy
A big part of the IOP substance use curriculum revolves around individual behavioral therapy. Both cognitive-behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy are helpful during recovery. Both of these therapies take place in one-on-one settings and can meet the individual needs of the client.
CBT is all about challenging negative thoughts and feelings. CBT can help clients get rid of negativity in their lives and adopt a healthier and happier mindset. DBT, on the other hand, seeks to regulate emotions and communication skills. Combining these therapies creates more stability for clients and makes the road to recovery easier to navigate.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Rehab
In a dual diagnosis treatment center, people receive care from mental health and medical professionals who can expertly treat both conditions simultaneously. After completing a Portland medical detox program, we welcome people to receive treatment for their substance use and co-existing mental health conditions. They will learn the skills they need to live life without certain substances and manage their mental health symptoms simultaneously. Both conditions must be treated together to give the person the best chance of recovering completely and avoiding relapse in the future.
Mental Health & Addiction Treatment
Many factors contribute to substance use. Often, mental health is a factor. Depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder diagnoses can all increase the chance of substance use.
In a substance use intensive outpatient program curriculum, clients can tackle mental health issues and substance use issues simultaneously. By adding both types of treatment to the curriculum, clients are better equipped for the future.
Working Through Trauma
Trauma can be another contributing factor in substance use disorders. Fortunately, clients can tackle trauma directly through trauma therapy. Trauma therapy can be a beneficial addition to an IOP curriculum.
In trauma therapy, clients can address and hopefully reprocess traumatic experiences in their past. Doing so can pave the way to mental and emotional stability as well as increased relapse prevention.
