Substance Use Disorder Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
A Flexible, Structured Path to Sustained Recovery
The Substance Use Disorder IOP at River’s Bend, P.C. allows our clients to work toward sustained recovery. We provide a welcoming, safe, and non-judgmental environment.
Our structured program enables patients to continue with their normal, day-to-day lives while receiving intensive treatment.
What to Expect From the Program
The SUD IOP curriculum runs for 6 to 8 weeks. Clients attend group sessions three times a week for 3 hours per group, making a total commitment of 9 hours per week. To fit treatment into your busy schedule, we offer flexible timing options:
- Daytime Sessions
- Afternoon Sessions
- Evening Sessions
All program tracks are available both virtually and in person at our clinic. Each session is split into two focused halves:
Group Processing: The second half provides an opportunity to discuss and process these topics. A certified therapist facilitates this group discussion to ensure a supportive environment.
Educational Presentation: The first half covers essential recovery topics. These include self-esteem building, relapse prevention, healthy communication, the disease model of addiction, and nutrition.
The Next Step: Early Recovery Group (ERG)
Sustaining sobriety requires ongoing support. After completing the intensive phase of treatment, clients can transition into our Early Recovery Group (ERG). This step-down group meets once a week for 1.5 hours. It is designed specifically for individuals navigating the early stages of a sober life.
During this phase, the group takes a deeper look into common early recovery challenges. Members work on repairing relationships, facing life consequences, and managing daily stress without substances. We also help you explore outside community programs that fit your personal needs, whether you prefer AA/NA or SMART Recovery.
Our team is ready to walk with you on this journey. Reach out today to schedule your initial evaluation.
