Men’s Outpatient Program
The Men’s Intensive Outpatient Program consists of three phases. The
first two phases of the program are approximately three months for each
phase. The third phase is continuing care and lasts three to six
months. The program is very individualized; the length of each phase is
determined by the needs of the client.
Level I meets for group three evenings per week, the focus of the
groups is on chemical dependency education and relapse prevention. This
is done through a Bio-Psycho-Social emphasis on the disease of
addiction. A multimodal approach is utilized as articulated through a
Humanistic approach that promotes self acceptance and ultimately
self-esteem, a Cognitive Behavioral paradigm utilizing Terrance
Gorski’s model of addictive disease which delineates how to identify,
reduce and manage personal triggers that precipitate relapse to
drug/alcohol use, and Albert Ellis’ Cognitive Distortions that aims at
reducing and reframing thinking patterns.
Level II meets for group two evenings per week, consists of trigger
management as it relates to the life issues that the client encounters
on a day-to-day basis that have historically sabotaged the client’s
attempts at recovery from mood-altering chemicals. Also addressed in
this phase is the resolution of past issues that prevent the client
from moving forward in life. Additionally, relapse prevention is
emphasized.
Pyscho-educational lectures, videos and homework are used through out
the two phases to support the internalization of treatment concepts.
Level III lasts between three to six months depending on clinical
necessity and is one evening a week, in this phase, continuing care is
stressed through continued relapse prevention, strengthening a recovery
program with social support system.
