CO-OCCURRING PROGRAMMING AT INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM:

At times, patients may have a substance abuse or dependence diagnosis along with a mental health diagnosis. They may have self-medicated their symptoms with alcohol or drugs, making it difficult to determine if the addiction or mental health issue presented itself first. We refer to this as a co-occurring condition.

An untreated mental health condition will make a person more vulnerable to substance abuse. Likewise, relapse will worsen a mental health condition. Our co-occurring treatment team includes psychiatrists and knowledgeable counseling staff who can help patients manage their mental health and substance abuse simultaneously.

Our Intensive Outpatient Program can address co-occurring issues in a comfortable, supportive setting with a focus on the following:

• Attainment of cognitive and behavioral skills needed to manage symptoms and to develop new social supports
• Identification of behavior and attitude changes necessary to achieve and maintain successful recovery, including how to effectively manage relapse
• Education of participants regarding the factors that may have led to the episode
• Drug and alcohol education
