Patients with drug use disorders can participate in our organized, planned Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in a non-residential environment. Three hours of group therapy are spent by participants on many days of the week. In addition, they receive one individual counseling session a week and instruction on issues including wellbeing, anger and stress management, and triggers for relapses. It is suggested to include other resources, such as friends or family. Following program completion, weekly aftercare is offered.
Clinical research and practice show that intensive outpatient treatment is an effective and viable approach for individuals with substance use disorders to begin their recovery, with a 2014 study proving it is as effective as inpatient treatment. Furthermore, a current 2020 study illustrates that digital care is beneficial to substance abuse programming as well!
Our Intensive Outpatient treatment program is accessed online by secure video, so JWCC clients obtain therapy from the privacy of home instead of visiting an office three or four times each week. Because each JWCC client's treatment plan is as distinct as they are, the length of treatment varies. Clients at Journey of Wellness Counseling & Consulting typically spend 12 to 16 weeks in the intense portion of the program. But it's up to you how long you stay at JWCC.

Who is IOP for?
Intensive Outpatient Program is for people who:
What is the difference between inpatient (residential) and intensive outpatient?
What is the difference between substance abuse counseling groups and support groups?
Professional counselors with licensure in either mental health or addictions treat SUD patients with professional counseling. Treatment for SUD is extremely regimented and adheres to the American Society of Addiction Medicine's(ASAM)best practices. Because the usual period of therapy is several weeks, followed by aftercare, it is categorized as a "brief intervention".
Peers with varying degrees of experience and length of time in recovery lead support groups, which include alternatives like Red Road community meetings and 12 Step traditions like Alcoholics Anonymous. The meeting may be highly regimented or less structured, depending on the group. Research has demonstrated that social connections enhance brain function by stimulating the synthesis of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), which is responsible for the creation of new neurons and the healing of injured glial cells and neurons. Participating in mutual self-help groups offers continuous social support and can last a lifetime, unlike SUD therapy. Mutual self-help groups are usually free to attend, however donations are welcome.
