Taking the first step toward getting help can seem daunting. Addiction and mental health issues are complex challenges. Trying to find the right treatment that fits your life and your situation can seem like a huge task. At 449 Recovery, our mission is to help with this challenge in any way that we can.
We offer a range of outpatient treatment programs for addiction and mental health. Once clients have completed a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and are stable, the next thing we recommend is IOP, a part-time treatment program that helps individuals with substance abuse and mental health issues. Clients live at home, coming in a few days a week for group therapy, individual therapy, accountability structure, skills classes, and anything they may need. For mental health and substance use disorders, there is no substitute for the growth that takes place in face-to-face therapy and community.
During our group therapy sessions, we establish an environment where you may openly express yourself while receiving therapeutic assistance. Some of the subjects covered in these sessions include mental health counseling, the treatment of co-occurring disorders, and relapse prevention as well as self-forgiveness and mindfulness. Our IOP offers group therapy sessions that help you form a support network of trained clinicians and other clients who have similar experiences. These critical experiences teach how to effectively communicate, interact with others, and respond to the normal ups and downs of life.
We explore themes such as addiction education, coping skills, and cutting-edge mental health modalities that can directly improve your state of mind. In addition to helping you develop the skills necessary for a successful life in recovery, this also helps you uncover the underlying issues that may have contributed to substance abuse problems. Throughout your therapy, our clinical team and support personnel will work with you to develop a plan of action that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Designing Your Individual Treatment
After arriving at our treatment center, you will receive a clinical examination. This helps us design a treatment plan that meets your treatment requirements and long-term goals for recovery. For us, it’s important that you feel like you’re part of the treatment planning process. This first evaluation will help us work with you to ensure that you have a strategy in place that will help you reach your treatment and life objectives throughout this time period.
What is the Role of IOP?
An IOP in addiction and mental health treatment serves as a vital bridge between inpatient care and independent living. Designed for individuals who need more than weekly therapy sessions but are stable enough to avoid inpatient treatment, IOP offers frequent and extended therapy sessions, providing intensive support and preventing severe challenges like self-harm or suicidal tendencies. Patients benefit from diverse therapy modalities and family involvement, promoting stability and independence in managing their mental health issues. This structured approach aims to prevent relapse and empower patients to navigate their recovery journey more independently.
Outpatient Therapy Program
At 449 Recovery we offer therapy in all of our addiction treatment services. Individual and group therapy helps get to the root of addiction and resolve underlying causes.
Individual therapy in our intensive outpatient program involves one-on-one sessions between a therapist and a client. These sessions focus on addressing personal issues, exploring underlying factors contributing to addiction or mental health challenges, and developing coping strategies tailored to the individual’s needs.
Group therapy in IOPs brings together a small group of individuals who are facing similar issues. Led by a therapist, these sessions provide a supportive environment where participants can share experiences, offer mutual support, and learn from one another. Group therapy fosters a sense of belonging, reduces feelings of isolation, and promotes interpersonal skills development.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a common therapeutic approach used in IOPs. It focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to addiction or mental health issues. Through CBT, individuals learn to develop healthier coping mechanisms, change dysfunctional beliefs, and acquire skills to manage triggers and cravings, leading to long-lasting positive changes in behavior and mindset.
Addiction Treatment in IOP
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) offer structured addiction treatment while allowing individuals to live at home. Typically outpatient programming consists of therapy sessions several times a week, IOPs provide various forms of therapy, including individual, group, and family sessions, focusing on addressing underlying issues, developing coping skills, and building a supportive network. With a holistic approach, IOPs incorporate education, skill-building, and activities like mindfulness and yoga. Participants benefit from a supportive environment surrounded by peers also committed to recovery. After completing an IOP, individuals transition to less intensive care with continued support to maintain long-term sobriety.
Substance Use Disorders We Treat
At 449 Recovery, we specialize in comprehensive treatment for Substance Use Disorders (SUDs), addressing a wide range of substances including opioids, alcohol, nicotine, stimulants, depressants, and hallucinogens. Our tailored programs combine evidence-based therapies, medical interventions, and holistic approaches to address each individual’s unique needs and challenges.
Mental Health Treatment in IOP
In Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs), mental health is treated comprehensively alongside addiction. Through structured therapy sessions several times a week, individuals receive evidence-based treatments tailored to their specific mental health needs. These sessions may include individual therapy, group therapy, and psychiatric evaluations to address underlying issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or co-occurring disorders.
Additionally, IOPs often incorporate psychoeducation, skill-building exercises, and holistic approaches like mindfulness and relaxation techniques to promote emotional well-being. With a focus on building coping skills and resilience, IOPs provide a supportive environment where individuals can address their mental health challenges while receiving intensive addiction treatment and outpatient services. This integrated approach helps individuals achieve holistic healing and long-term recovery.
Mental Health Disorders We Treat
At our behavioral health rehab, we treat anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD, and other behavioral issues. We can offer mental health treatment as well as dual diagnosis treatment to address co-occurring substance abuse struggles. It’s not uncommon for depression, bipolar disorder, or anxiety disorders to co-occur with substance use disorder. Since mental health symptoms can worsen when using drugs or alcohol, it’s crucial to treat these disorders concurrently.

Who is IOP For?
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) are designed for individuals who require structured and intensive outpatient treatment, for substance use disorders or mental health issues but do not need 24-hour supervision in a residential setting. IOPs are suitable for individuals who have completed a higher level of care, such as residential treatment or partial hospitalization, and are transitioning back to their daily lives while still needing ongoing support and therapy.
IOPs may be appropriate for those who have responsibilities such as work, school, or caregiving that prevent them from participating in a residential program. Overall, IOPs provide a flexible yet intensive treatment option for individuals seeking comprehensive support and guidance in their recovery journey.
What Are the Benefits of an Intensive Outpatient Program?
The benefits of Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are multifaceted. Firstly, IOP allows individuals to maintain a healthy balance between their independent lifestyle and sobriety-enhancing practices, facilitating a smooth transition back into society. This flexibility is particularly advantageous for clients undergoing mental health treatment, as it accommodates their varying schedules and commitments.
Additionally, the personalized nature of IOP enables clients to focus on the specific areas of their lives that are most important to them, fostering a sense of intimacy and support within the program. In this healing environment, individuals can authentically express themselves, explore new ways of thinking and living, and build prosperous relationships with recovery. Ultimately, having a dependable support system from the outset is invaluable in helping clients navigate the challenges of addiction and mental health, making IOP an ideal solution for those committed to long-term wellness.
