Your First Intensive Outpatient Counseling Steps in Bridgeport, CT
Everyone who decides to free themselves from the shackles of substance abuse and seek the help and care they require to make that reality needs to understand that recovery is a process. The first step of the process is one you’ve already taken. You want help to overcome this problem with outpatient counseling and a treatment plan.
The next step is usually taken by you or a loved one to secure the information you need to receive the appropriate treatment that ensures your recovery is one where you’re not alone but surrounded by the care, respect, and attention of specialists who fill you with a sense of safety and protection.
New Era Rehabilitation in Bridgeport, CT, can provide you with the environment and specialists that will instill that sense of safety and protection while also developing an outpatient counseling and treatment plan unique to you that will see you succeed in your drive to reclaim your freedom and hope and break free of the addiction.
As part of your free initial consultation, our licensed professionals will take into account everything you tell them in regard to where you’re at with your struggles with addiction, what you’re ultimately seeking, your concerns and hesitations, and answer any questions you may have. They’ll also factor in any potential underlying issues as well as past problems that may have contributed to or worsened the addiction.
Out of this initial consultation, a recommended treatment, counseling, and recovery plan will be developed that is tailored to your situation and best sets you up for a successful recovery journey. Such a plan may include outpatient counseling and treatment.
Outpatient Counseling & Therapy Process
We highlight the outpatient counseling and treatment program here because a lot of people think, when they decide to seek help, that when they enroll at a rehabilitation center, they will be checking in for several weeks and will not be able to go home.
For the vast majority of our clients, after an initial medical assessment, most of them are able to enroll in programs that still provide the care they need but also allow them to go home at the end of the day.
One such program is outpatient counseling and treatment. With this type of program, you’ll still receive a tailored treatment plan, but one that is more structured and requires more weekly participation than an individual or group therapy program alone requires.
Yes, outpatient programs are more attentive and require more work on your part, but you still get to stay home and maintain a normal work, school, or life schedule outside of treatment.
Intensive Outpatient Counseling Option
The most rigorous outpatient plan is our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). It’s very similar to our other outpatient plans, however, as the name implies, it’s more intensive and even more structured. Participants meet in groups of no more than 12 individuals a meet for 3 hours a session, 3 times a week, for 8 -12 weeks.
If IOP is recommended for you, it’s usually because you may request it, you have a long history of substance abuse, you’ve been to treatment in the past only to relapse, or you’re dealing with co-occurring disorders that IOP can also help address.
