Intensive Outpatient Programs New Jersey

An IOP is an outpatient rehab program, essentially providing intensive substance abuse treatment outside of the residential facilities of a rehab center. For many, it is an essential transition phase from detox or inpatient levels of care. In addition to medical oversight, strict treatment protocols are maintained, with between 9-20 hours of evidence-based treatment provided weekly (as advised by the American Society of Addiction Medication). Initially, visits are required five to seven times a week, gradually decreasing to three or four visits, with sessions lasting three to four hours at a time. However, the patient lives outside of the facility, such as in sober living environments, with loved ones, or at home if healthy support is available. This allows flexibility to continue working or maintain family obligations during the program. At Psyclarity Health New Jersey, programs are patient-centric, so duration may vary. However, IOP treatment generally lasts 6 to 12 months. Under the guidance of qualified therapists and other health care specialists, the patient will focus on defined milestones to ensure that progress is made. As each milestone is successfully reached, the time spent at the center can be reduced.
