Adult Intensive Outpatient Services

With the Intensive Outpatient Services program at VHC Health, you'll enjoy the freedom to continue with your home, work, school, and community life while getting care. Choose us for the expert help you need to enhance your behavioral and physical health, as well as your long-term recovery.

Our mission is to address the individual’s holistic needs in relation to substance use, alcohol, pain, trauma, life transitions, and mental health issues through partnering with the family/support system during the treatment process. Our goal is to inspire hope, wellness, and recovery.

INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM

Day: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday (11:00 am to 2:00 pm)
Evening: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (5:30 to 8:30 pm)

Our IOP Substance Use Disorder schedule consists of 3 three-hour sessions per week that are task-oriented and educationally based.

Patients work closely within the group dynamic to put learning into action and support the recovery process. They must attend three AA/NA meetings a week and abstain from all alcohol and/or drugs. This program is offered during the day and evenings.

CONTINUING CARE (CC)

Day: Tuesday(s) 10:00 am to 12:00 pm

Our Continuing Care sessions are 12 weeks in length and meet once a week for two hours. Patients follow a structured syllabus that educates them about relapse prevention and recovery skills. We emphasize sober living skills that teach patients how to achieve a quality of life necessary to maintain long-term sobriety.
