Outpatient Programs

Intensive Outpatient Program

The Center for Drug and Alcohol Programs Intensive Outpatient Program provides treatment for people suffering from addiction to drugs and/or alcohol who have completed detoxification or who do not require hospitalization.  The dynamic outpatient format involves patients in recovery-oriented activities across several days a week.

The Intensive Outpatient Program is comprehensive, incorporating recovery skills, education, individual and group therapy.  Family participation is incorporated into our program and is strongly encouraged.  Our treatment model draws upon evidence-based treatment modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, twelve-step facilitation, and medication management.  Our psychiatrists and counselors are highly skilled, and use a variety of medical, behavioral and psychological interventions proven by experience and research to effectively reduce the chances of relapse and to maximize the benefits of treatment.

New Intensive Outpatient Program patients can enter treatment at any time.  Upon entry to the program, clients are assigned to one of our individual clinicians, who work with clients to help tailor the program to meet their unique treatment goals.  All clients receive a thorough evaluation at treatment onset to build rapport and guide treatment planning. During the four weeks of the program, clients also work with their clinicians to develop an aftercare plan for maintaining recovery.  This follow-up plan may include a less intensive schedule of further individual or group therapy to reinforce specific treatment goals.  Long-term disease management is encouraged through booster sessions with your individual clinician, to reinforce recovery efforts and facilitate growth in sober living skills.

The Intensive Outpatient Program groups meet each weekday from 9:00 a.m. - noon.  Our program is enhanced with Wednesday evening Relapse Prevention groups, in which current program attendees participate alongside graduates of the program as part of our thriving recovery community.  Call 843-792-5200 to learn more about our outpatient services.

Individual Outpatient Treatment Programs

The Center for Drug and Alcohol Programs outpatient clinic offers individual treatment sessions for those suffering from addiction to alcohol or other drugs.  Following an initial evaluation, clients are assigned to a clinician who provides individual treatment that is rooted in evidence-based practices.  Our team of psychiatrists are available to treat patients with the latest addiction medications designed to reduce cravings and decrease the chances of relapse.

All outpatient clinical services take place at the Institute of Psychiatry, 4^th Floor - North. For outpatient services call 843-792-5200.
