Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), including drug rehabs, are treatment programs that are used to address addictions that aren’t severe enough to require inpatient care.
Heavily addicted individuals, especially ones with underlying mental health issues, are often recommended for inpatient programs that involve detoxes and supervision around the clock.
Outpatient programs, on the other hand, are designed to address milder conditions without requiring 24 hour care.
In an outpatient setting, you can continue to live at home while you complete your treatment plan.
With its pleasant weather and mountains, and countless attractions, Best Rehabs In Arizona is an ideal place for seeking intensive outpatient care.
However, the West Coast also has a higher rate of substance use disorders than most other areas in the country. This is, in part, because there is such a wide and diverse range of demographics here.
These factors make it even more important for residents to seek the care they need and deserve, rather than normalizing or ignoring the problem and becoming another statistic.
Our updated and comfortable outpatient campuses are surrounded by nature, making them a wonderful place to reconnect, enjoy a change of scenery, and find a new perspective.
Intensive outpatient program drug rehab can be used to help drug addicts recover and find sobriety.
There are many different reasons to seek drug rehab, but some addictions are more troubling than others.
The United States has seen an alarming increase in heroin-related emergency department visits, with the number more than tripling from 2006 to 2017.
Other common drug addictions include:
This list is far from complete and does not include every drug with a high potential for abuse, just some of the most common ones.
Abuse of any drug can lead to troubling and potentially long-term mental and physical health side effects, as well as comas and death.
Drug abuse isn’t the only reason to seek treatment.
Substance abuse intensive outpatient programs are designed to recognize and treat a wide range of addictions, with alcohol being one of the most common.
Alcohol regularly accounts for more nonfatal emergency room visits than all other drug diagnoses combined.
Alcohol is such a normalized substance and so widely used in both positive and negative situations, many individuals who are addicted to alcohol spend a lot of time denying that they have a problem.
It isn’t until many alcoholics begin seeing some of the side effects and complications that heavy drinking can cause that they finally seek treatment for it.
Genetic predispositions account for approximately 45-65% of underlying reasons for individuals developing an alcohol dependence.
Being exposed at an early age or continuing to surround yourself with people who need help but won’t accept it can also put you at risk for developing an addiction.
If you or someone you love is struggling with an addiction, help is right around the corner at Best Rehabs In Arizona.
About half of all drug addicts also have an underlying mental health disorder.
Regardless of which one came first, they both have the ability to worsen the other and create vicious cycles of abuse.
Intensive outpatient programs are highly effective in treating both substance abuse and mental health issues without removing the individual from their normal daily life.
They establish support groups and mechanisms, help you avoid relapses, teach you how to cope and manage stress, and set you up for success.
When a mental health disorder occurs in conjunction with a substance use disorder, this is called a dual diagnosis. As they occur together, they also need to be treated together.
Common dual diagnosis combinations often include the following mental health disorders and conditions:
Each of our patients is unique and so is their addiction, so we create each of our treatment plans with this in mind.
Experts recommend a minimum of three months of treatment and support for recovering addicts of all kinds.
We will work with you to determine the best treatment program to ensure your sustained recovery.
Depending on the severity, type, and duration of your addiction(s) (among other factors), your intensive outpatient program (IOP) drug rehab may include a variety of different treatment options.
You’ll live at home, manage your daily obligations, and maintain your support system while attending sessions during the week at our state-of-the-art facilities in Arizona or Colorado.
The intensive outpatient program drug rehab gives you a level of both independence and structure that is hard to create with other treatment methods.
This helps individuals recover, grow, and ease themselves back into normal daily life with the tools and knowledge they’ve collected throughout the program.
Therapy, recovery skills, and support groups will likely be a large part of the curriculum.
Developing a healthy and understanding support system is important both during your care and after. This will help you avoid temptations and triggers that present themselves after treatment is complete.
Many of our patients find that they’ve developed life-long alliances and friendships in their time here. Other parts of the curriculum may include:
Intensive outpatient programs provide a higher and more involved level of care than regular outpatient programs do, so you should expect to spend a bit more time here than you would otherwise.
Many patients will spend an average of nine to 20 hours participating in treatment each week.
Most of these hours will be spent in a group setting, which may be a little bit intimidating initially, but is crucial to your success. Recovery isn’t a process that should be faced alone.
Building a strong support group, swapping stories with others who understand where you are in life, and relying on one another in difficult situations can make a huge difference in how long your sobriety lasts.
Support groups and aftercare services can help you make healthy decisions for a long time after your formal treatment is complete.
While we often recommend inpatient care to our patients, we understand that it’s not a possibility or a necessity for everyone.
Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) for drug rehab is entirely patient-focused, individualized per person. It offers a well-rounded, high level of support in beautiful, safe, and comfortable facilities.
