Unless treated and stopped, alcohol or drug addiction is a serious, progressive illness that can lead to mental, physical and emotional pain and even death. Intensive outpatient treatment focuses on a recovery program concerned not just with abstinence, but with improved quality of life and well-being.

Our IOP is based on evidence-based clinical interventions in tandem with an individualized evaluation and treatment plan for each person’s specific needs. Besides the goal of preventing relapse, we strive to help patients with substance use disorders understand the disease of addiction by providing information about the physical, emotional, social and legal consequences of alcohol and/or drug use.
