Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

What is the Intensive Outpatient Program?

The adult IOP provides an outpatient alternative to residential substance abuse treatment.  Our goal is to provide an intensive treatment program without clients having to leave their jobs and families for 28 days. Participants receive intensive education and support throughout the 10 week IOP.  They attend group 3 times per week and families once per week.  The curriculum is designed to help participants increase their motivation to abstain from alcohol and other drugs and to establish a recovery program.  All participants are required to attend 12 step recovery groups as well.  Once the IOP is completed, they have the option of attending our “Taking Action Group” weekly for ongoing support or individual aftercare if clinically indicated.

Who is Eligible?  

Any Hanover resident, court ordered or voluntary, who has met with a clinician for an assessment for clinical appropriateness first.  In addition, for optimum treatment the group has a maximum capacity of 12 at any one time, therefore to be eligible a slot must also be available.

What Services are Offered? 

The Adult IOP consists of a 10 week course of treatment with groups that meet 3 evenings per week for 3 hours each group.  Follow up is available either in a weekly group meeting or individually for a total of 10 additional weeks if clinically indicated. Random drug screens are included in the program model.
