Choosing to give up drugs and alcohol is the best decision someone can make for their health, wellbeing, and quality of life. Everyone has a different experience with substance abuse, and certain programs might be better suited for some vs. others. For some, the best program may be an intensive outpatient program, or IOP.
It’s important to look at all your treatment options to figure out which one is best for your personal journey. Intensive outpatient programs are a great option for those looking for long term care with flexibility. These types of programs offer intensive treatment without having you live on facility grounds. At Atlanta Recovery Place, our IOP program allows you to move through your recovery at your own pace, and experience both treatment and normal life at the same time.

When deciding whether our IOP in Atlanta is right for you, it’s important to consider the various levels of care available. Choosing between inpatient and outpatient substance abuse programs can be a difficult decision. Both offer different benefits and you should understand what each option can give you before committing to a program.
An inpatient residential treatment program requires you to live on the facility grounds for the entire duration of your treatment program. This form of treatment is the most intensive and best for people who have severe substance abuse or co-occurring condition. They typically last 30-60 days and offer 24 hour supervision, residential housing, and strict schedules. Inpatient programs work with clients on every aspect of their lives within this hospital setting, which means everything from treatment to social hours will be structured and supervised. Inpatient programs are very effective at treating addiction, but require you to leave your family, job, and other responsibilities for the duration of your treatment. While this works for some, others require a more flexible treatment option.
Unlike inpatient programs, intensive outpatient programs are structured so that you come to the facility for treatment at designated times, certain days a week and return home at the end of the day. Choosing an outpatient program allows you to keep your family and professional life intact while still working through the recovery process. Our outpatient drug rehab in Atlanta, GA are flexible in that you can work your treatment hours around your personal schedule so that you don’t need to sacrifice other aspects of your life in order to get sober. Outpatient programs offer a lot of the same treatments and services as an inpatient program would. Some of these services include:
Working with licensed professionals, clients will have one on one therapy sessions that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and traditional talk therapy.
Group therapy sessions will be offered during treatment hours where clients can talk with others who are experiencing similar journeys. This offers the opportunity to build community, see new perspectives, and support other like minded individuals.
Alternative or supportive therapies vary but often include art therapy, meditation, acupuncture, movement and exercise. Learning healthy lifestyle skills and methods of coping is a crucial part of rehab and can be learned through many different techniques.
If you’ve reached the decision to enroll in an intensive outpatient program, there are some things to take into consideration when choosing which IOP in Atlanta is best for you. The location of a program is important to make sure your regular commute is something you can commit too.
Atlanta Recovery Place offers intensive outpatient programs as part of our partial day programs to give our clients the highest level treatment while maintaining flexibility. We offer two treatment times, either 9-3pm or 5-8 pm to meet different schedule needs.
Treatment plans are always tailored to the individuals specific needs, but will include a combination of counseling, group therapy, neurofeedback, relapse prevention, lifestyle skills, anger management/mindfulness, 12 step program, and medicated assistance, as needed. The program length is 30-90 days and can be adjusted as needed.
We have staffed practitioners 24/7, family programs, sober living options, and recreational access to pools, gyms, and tennis courts. Atlanta Recovery Place understands the complexity of both substance abuse and everyday responsibilities. With that in mind we created an intensive outpatient program designed to give our clients the highest level substance abuse treatment, without interfering with personal responsibilities.
