Addiction is as unique as the people who suffer from it. Treating addiction and substance use is a complicated and individualized experience for everyone. What may work for some, may not work for others. Knowing that addiction is a different, chronic disease for many people, options have been created to provide unique and individual care. One of these options is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). History, science, and doctors have shown alcoholism and drug addiction are progressive, primary and potentially fatal diseases. An IOP allows individuals to learn the skills necessary to recover their mental health and/or substance use issues and allows them to integrate these skills into their lives. Our IOP is an effective way to continue the duties of daily life and treat this disease.
