Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Overview
The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed for those who need structured, part-time treatment while maintaining their daily responsibilities. The program typically meets for 10 to 15 hours per week, focusing on developing skills for lasting recovery, addressing feelings of shame and guilt, and building confidence for a healthy, sober life.
Benefits of the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Addiction is a complex disease that affects both behavior and brain function. Many individuals in Ponte Vedra Beach and throughout Northeast Florida with substance abuse disorders also suffer from co-occurring mental health issues, which require careful assessment to diagnose accurately.
The symptoms of drug and alcohol abuse often overlap with those of mental health disorders. Substance use can mask, exacerbate, or mimic the symptoms of co-occurring conditions, making an accurate evaluation essential.
Substance abuse, particularly when paired with underlying mental health disorders, rarely has simple solutions. That’s why the initial substance abuse evaluation and assessment are critical to creating an individualized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
Experience in Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation
At our rehab centers in Ponte Vedra Beach, each patient undergoes an evaluation by both a physician and therapist specialized in addiction disorders and chemical dependency. Our team determines the appropriate level of care for each individual.
Patients are evaluated by our board-certified physician, Dr. Jeremy Mirabile, MD, ABAM, FASAM, FAAFP, a Fellow of the American Society of Addiction Medicine and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Dr. Mirabile leads a multidisciplinary team that includes a licensed psychologist, therapists, and counselors.
Few drug and alcohol rehab centers in Florida match the level of expertise offered at Recovery Keys, which has earned the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval™ for Behavioral Health Care.
What is a Substance Abuse Evaluation?
The comprehensive substance abuse evaluation covers physical, psychological, and social factors affecting addiction and recovery. This assessment includes:- Psychological evaluations
- Drug and alcohol use, abuse, and dependency screenings
- Toxicology tests and lab work, as needed
- Input from chemical dependency counselors and an on-staff nutritionist
- Consultations with family members regarding drug and alcohol abuse
- Follow-ups with medical boards or other professional boards, if necessary
- Dependency counseling with a team of experts in addiction recovery
Addiction and Substance Abuse Treatment
After the assessment, patients receive a personalized substance abuse treatment plan that considers all factors influencing addiction and recovery.
Given the complexity of addiction, a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work. The comprehensive treatment plan includes a variety of options to meet the patient’s needs, from financing to the level of addiction and the patient’s overall health.
Once the plan is agreed upon by the patient and, where possible, their family, real progress can begin, laying the foundation for lifelong sobriety.
