What are the benefits of IOP?

• If you came from inpatient treatment:
• Easing back to the “real world” – continuing therapy and groups while you go back to home and work triggers.
• Staying in a treatment environment – access to therapist multiple times per week gives you somewhere to turn if you notice yourself slipping.
• Continuing work that began in treatment – from relapse prevention to trauma work, you’re able to continue and finish anything you started in residential treatment.
• BONUS: IOP is likely fully covered by insurance, making the extra care completely free to you.
• Starting out with IOP only:
• Getting accountability – When we know others are watching our sobriety, it prevents the hiding we’ve become accustomed to (and good at) during active addiction.
• Connecting to a support network – EIMR and group therapy allow you to connect to others in a healthy way and give you support long after the program.
• Establishing structure – A structured routine while rebuilding your life and learning who you really ensure that recovery remains a priority in your life until it becomes a natural habit.
• Giving you specific tools – Different feelings trigger us – from boredom to stress to relationship conflict. We need a whole “toolbox” of coping skills to deal with the various feelings that come up without using drugs or alcohol.
• Whether you’re coming from inpatient or beginning here, IOP helps you find happiness. Happiness is the ultimate benefit!

What if no one knows about my addiction?

• We all start out hiding our addiction. The deflecting and pretending is exhausting and makes us feel worse. Family members usually know something is off and may even be worried but unsure how to bring up the topic with you. Either way, they just want to see you well. IOP teaches you the value of honesty, leaning on others and building healthy relationships. You will learn how to:
• Talk to your family about your addiction
• Form healthy relationships with others that can relate
• Develop a support network to support you when triggered
• Reach out without shame if you slip up
• Use your story to help others
• Know that you are not alone in this!

What's the difference between the therapy and life coaching?

• Therapy is provided by master-level, licensed therapists. You work through issues using evidence-based psychology methods. In IOP, therapy sessions are in person or over Zoom lasting 1-3 hours multiple times per week for 6-8 weeks.
• Life Coaching is provided by Certified Peer Support Specialists with at least two years in recovery. Coaching is done over a call and lasts as long as you want – 20 minutes on average. Coaches call you weekly, then biweekly, then monthly for one year. They are also available by call or text whenever you’re struggling – even years later.

How can I enroll someone else in this program?

• Family members are often the first ones to make contact with the admissions team.
• In fact, it’s a great idea to have a plan for treatment to offer your loved one before you discuss the topic. Otherwise, you’re more likely to get a half agreement that doesn’t end up in treatment.
• To check on specific costs, all that is usually needed is the insurance card/numbers and the patient’s birthday. Neither the patient nor the employer will know that you did an insurance check.
• Before they can start the program, we do have to talk to them directly to ensure that this program could actually help.
• Don’t lose faith if your family member is hesitant at first. Most of us were.
