Millions of Americans struggle with substance and alcohol abuse. Addiction’s effects on a person can be detrimental not only to them but to family and friends. If you find yourself struggling to leave substance abuse behind, you may want to consider rehabilitation. However, it’s also essential to keep in mind that not every program is the same, and some people may benefit more from specific programs than others.
If you’re having difficulty considering rehab due to personal and professional responsibilities, you may want to consider an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).
Addiction is a disease and one not cured easily. A majority of people who struggle with addiction make the mistake of thinking that they can kick it on their own. While a handful of people can pull this off, unfortunately, many fall back into their urges, and relapse gets the better of them.
If you start to revert to old ways after attempting to stop abusing alcohol or other substances—but you fall under the functioning category— it may be time to speak with a professional at Ardu Recovery Center about intensive outpatient therapy.
The sooner you consider help, the better the chances that you won’t need to head straight into an inpatient program.
An intensive outpatient program provides the structured setting you need with more flexibility so that you can continue to fulfill your daily responsibilities. With intensive outpatient therapy, you’ll get the highest level of care in a structured and therapeutic setting— this is the best option for individuals who have not progressed far enough into substance abuse to warrant inpatient care.
At Ardu, our outpatient program starts four days per week. During this time, you’ll engage in group therapy sessions and work with your assigned Clinician and Recovery coach. Your coach will give you assignments specific to your needs throughout the recovery process, helping you understand your condition and teaching you the best ways to address your issues outside of therapy.
Professional help, such as intensive outpatient therapy programs, is the best way to achieve long-term results. You should know that there’s nothing wrong with getting the help that you need to get your life back on track.
