Intensive Outpatient Programs and Group Therapy

Residential treatment vs Intensive Outpatient Programs

During private residential or inpatient residential programs, customers remain under oversight consistently where they can be monitored and given a high level of care which may be necessary depending on the level of their addiction. These treatment programs fluctuate in duration of stay; however, most are about a month long.

Intensive outpatient programs are therapy programs that target people with addictions or disordered eating, with the level of severity being mild enough that they don’t require constant monitoring. Customers in Intensive Outpatient Programs for the most part visit usually attend appointments at the clinic three times a week for about three hours each visit. This is part of an on-going process and they will continue to attend these meetings for an extended period of time.

The benefits of attending intensive outpatient programs is that clients are allowed to continue to live in their own home or place of residence while still receiving the intensive treatment required for their addiction issues. In some cases clients may need to attend residential services so they are completely separated from the substances and issues in their lives which have led to their addiction problems, however other clients may still have to attend work or school and take care of daily responsibilities which means that they are not able to go into a residential care facility. In this case, intensive outpatient treatments can provide results that are just as good as those achieved in residential care programs.

Although they are still able to access the freedom of living outside of a controlled facility, it is expected that clients of intensive outpatient treatments still obey the rules and regulations of the program. They also must be in a safe environment where they will receive motivation, encouragement and support from their friends and family.

Intensive outpatient programs will not work if the client remains to communication with other users of substances such as drugs or alcohol, and if it is not possible for clients to be separated from these contacts then it is recommended that residential treatment programs will be more effective in preventing the client from coming across triggers which may cause them to relapse.

Group therapy

Group therapy is a collaborative type of treatment, where one or two therapists give therapy sessions to a group of patients rather than just to a single individual. This can be a highly effective method for helping clients learn from the problems of other patients, and to feel more connected and involved in their personal treatment journey.

The size of the group depends on which kind of therapy, couples’ therapy is generally between two people whereas in substance abuse groups there may be more than 10 clients attending each session. They are encouraged to openly discuss amongst each other and to share their experiences and emotions.

This type of therapy helps encourage clients receiving treatment by reminding them that they are not alone in their addiction disorders and that there are many other people out there who have been dealing with the same or even bigger difficulties.

This creates an open environment which gives clients permission to offer or receive help and support from other members in the group, which can be useful in helping them feel more connected than if they were discussing their issues with family or friends who may not understand their struggles.
