Addiction Treatment Programs That Align With Your Life and Schedule

Patients who have just completed an inpatient or detox program, need ongoing support. An IOP program is the ideal fit for patients who need a level of care that provides additional support in their recovery journey but no longer requires the constant oversight of a residential program.

What To Expect at Our NYC Intensive Outpatient Program

Facilitated by our highly-qualified practitioners, our addiction recovery program is designed to contend with negative thoughts and emotions and the undesirable behavior they lead to.

These treatments are reinforced by developing healthy coping skills and implementing mindfulness techniques. During individual behavioral therapy and group sessions, patients will develop a greater sense of self and social awareness and improve their ability to manage emotions.

As the patient maintains sobriety and requires less intensive care, they’re empowered to continue treatment as needed with a long-term care plan that will help them reach their goal of lifelong sobriety.

Individualized Outpatient Treatment Plans in NYC

At Ascendant, we recognize that every patient’s path to recovery will be different. Their unique journey requires specialized attention, care, and planning to achieve lasting recovery.

However, we also know that inpatient care isn’t where most journeys end. It’s where they begin. After the patient leaves inpatient treatment is when ongoing support, such as a support group, is essential for relapse prevention. Our case managers will design a continuing care plan designed to suit each patient’s individual path for lasting recovery.

From making solid connections with a trusted community of supportive peers and mentors to receiving weekly and practical individual sessions, our program is designed to help you develop the skills and habits needed to build a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Upscale Intensive Outpatient Program in NYC

How many hours is an IOP program each week?

Most IOPs will include around 9–19 hours a week worth of treatment which will incorporate group therapy sessions, individual counseling sessions, addiction education, and education focused on relapse prevention and recovery skills. In the case of our IOP in NYC, clients will receive regular monitoring and clinical support through both group and individual therapy sessions.

Who is a candidate for IOP?

Generally speaking, a person who has completed detox or residential treatment and needs additional support during their transition back to everyday living, would be a candidate for IOP. In addition, a person with a mild to moderate substance use disorder would also be a candidate for IOP depending on their need for structured treatment, and assuming they do not require 24-hour supervision.

What types of therapy are offered in an IOP?

IOPs will use a variety of evidence-based therapies and holistic support to provide treatment to clients; for the most part, the services you will receive during IOP will include individual and group counseling, trauma-informed care, relapse prevention education, medication management (as necessary), coping skills training, and aftercare planning to support continued recovery.

While enrolled in IOP, can I work or attend school?

Yes. One of the many advantages of IOP is its flexibility. Clients can continue to work or attend school while working towards meeting their recovery goals. This flexibility also allows clients to practice what they have learned during IOP in real-life situations.

What happens when I finish IOP?

After completing IOP, many clients transition to a lower level of care, such as continued outpatient therapy, recovery aftercare, and/or attendance at support groups. An important part of each client’s treatment, aftercare planning is necessary to ensure the client will continue to build a healthy routine and develop relapse-prevention strategies to use after treatment completion.
