Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Crossroads for Women’s IOP is a structured group therapy option that provides substance abuse treatment either 3, 4 or 5 days per week at 3 hours a day. IOP may be a first step for women beginning their journey to recovery from substance abuse and any co-occurring mental health issues. It may also serve as aftercare treatment for those women who might first require residential treatment to help them stabilize in sobriety.
Clients are assigned to an individual clinician that will check in with them throughout their time in IOP. Typically, a client will start IOP 5 days per week and then taper down to 3 days per week. Total length of treatment varies, but is typically around 6 - 8 weeks.
Gender-specific treatment issues are explored in IOP with an emphasis on addiction education, co-occurring mental health issues, coping skills, relapse prevention and the necessary tools for recovery.
