Intensive Outpatient Program

Recovering While Maintaining Your Life

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are helpful for those recovering from an addiction who may not be able to commit to an inpatient program due to work, family, or other restrictions.

Patients who choose IOPs are often seeking treatment for their addiction while maintaining some normalcy in their daily lives. These programs are essential for those within the addiction treatment continuum. Whether you are newly out of an inpatient rehab program, or just looking for support for your struggles with drugs or alcohol, IOPs are sought after by people with varying levels of abuse and addiction.

 

La Jolla Healing Center Intensive Outpatient Program

We offer an individualized treatment schedule, between 8 to 10 weeks in duration, providing patients with increased clarity on their journey to recovery from addiction and substance abuse.

  • Participants have the ability to maintain their daily activities: attending work, being with their families, and having the comfort of their own home

  • When enrolled in our Intensive Outpatient Program, participants have access to a variety of support systems.  Support includes medication (prescription and management), individual treatment, group/family therapy, couples therapy, and other clinical services provided by our licensed medical staff and counselors

  • Our IOP offers patients the ability to practice coping skills in a safe, real-world environment to combat relapse triggers in daily life

  • Those enrolled in LJHC’s IOP have a significantly reduced risk of relapse than those who choose to abstain from treatment programs or continued recovery care. With increased support from trained staff, and those going through similar experiences, patients are more likely to achieve long term sobriety

Designed to Fit Your Schedule

While it may require some extra effort, you can manage the daily demands of your life while treating your substance abuse. We are here to help utilize your own creative thinking, actively pursue support available to you, and channel your inner discipline. The cost of leaving an addiction untreated is extremely high. You put everything at risk — your relationships, job, physical and emotional health, and even your life.

Our flexible programs are designed to fit into your schedule. Combined with personalized individual treatment from our team of skilled professionals, we design a plan that will provide the care you require while leaving the time necessary to continue with your daily routine.
