Intensive Outpatient Treatment

For persons with dual disorders, also referred to as co-occurring or comorbid disorders, we offer two different groups of Intensive Outpatient (IOP) services: Mentally Ill/Chemically Addicted (MICA) and Chemically Addicted/Mentally Ill (CAMI). These IOP groups are specifically developed to teach and help people who need treatment for mood and thought disorders, such as depression, bipolar, or schizophrenia, in addition to chemical dependency.

We serve adults who have been diagnosed with both mental illness and substance use disorder. This program comes in the form of three-hour sessions, four days a week. Courses include creating a structured lifestyle, individual counseling, and drug screenings. For clients with mood and thought disorders, groupings are separate, and all Dual Disordered IOP groups include gender-specific.

Recovery Defined takes extra care to incorporate relapse prevention into our aftercare program. Prior to leaving, individuals will meet with counselors to discuss a plan going forward that takes into account the individual’s needs and disorders.

While dealing with substance abuse and mental illness can seem challenging, many people with dual disorders recover and go on to live happy, healthy lives. But successful recovery takes time, effort, and help from trained professionals.
