ADULT INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM

Adults most often enter treatment due to alcohol and drug related conflicts in their home, work or with the legal system. When they are referred to Penninsula Addiction Services for treatment, an assessment is completed to determine the level of care most likely to provide the optimum opportunity for recovery. If appropriate for outpatient treatment, the patient is admitted to Phase I of the Intensive Outpatient Program. The program requires attendance four evenings a week and one multi-family therapy session per week. If residential treatment is required, the patient is referred to an appropriate inpatient facility.

PHASE I

PHASE II

Upon satisfactory completion of Phase I, the patient advances to Phase II for continued treatment of identified issues and further integration of the recovery process. Phase II requires attendance three times a week and one multi-family therapy session per week with an average duration of six weeks. By this this time, program participants are generally well integrated into the recovery process,  attending Twelve Step meetings on a regular basis and demonstrating a more positive attitude in their environment.

PHASE III

Phase III  is the continuing care phase of treatment. The patient continues treatment two times a week and one multi-family therapy session per week over the next six weeks while they finalize the formal treatment process, and expand their affilliation with the Twelve Step recovery program that was begun during primary treatment. Phase III also allows a deeper exploration of issues and motives defined during primary.

TRANSITIONAL PROGRAM

To ensure ongoing recovery once a residential treatment experience is completed, patients returning to the community are admitted to a modified Intensive Outpatient Program. This Transitional Program allows for a modified Phase I experience, generally two weeks in length. If the integration is successful, the patient moves on to Phase II and III as usual.
