Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) is intended for individuals who require additional addiction recovery support and mental health therapy. Unlike in residential programs, you get to go home after going to therapy at our outpatient location. Our program lets you maintain your daily responsibilities while still getting care for mental disorders and drug or alcohol use.

The abundance of people who enter IOP with us have finished detox and inpatient rehab. They are now prepared to examine issues more thoroughly by way of therapy to address the mental element of addiction. The Counseling Center Toms River conducts several levels of intensive outpatient care dependent on where you are in your recovery. Following a medical evaluation, we design a customized plan of treatment specific to your requirements. At this time, you’ll get started with a range of therapy appointments every week led by our certified counselors. During therapy, you’ll learn how to adjust to life without alcohol or drugs and how to handle any mental health issues that prompted substance use to begin with.

Since we adapt our treatments to each individual we care for, The Counseling Center At Toms River, NJ utilizes various therapy methods to fit your unique demands. That being said, almost all patients attend a blend of individual, family, and group therapy.

Therapy is led by licensed experts who are ready to serve you. During treatment, you will delve into topics such as:

  • How disorders -- like trauma, anxiety, or bipolar disorder -- prompt drug and alcohol use 
  • Post-acute withdrawal syndrome · Relapse prevention skills 
  • How to use 12-Step programs within recovery 
  • How families can cope throughout addiction recovery

 

Additionally, you’ll obtain support for any mental health or co-occurring disorders that played a role in your alcohol or drug use. Contingent on your unique diagnosis, you may receive:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy
  • Dialectical behavioral therapy
  • Trauma-informed therapy
  • Motivational interviewing

 

You won’t find a single reply to this because everyone has unique recovery targets and works through our substance use and mental health therapy with a personalized schedule. Quite a few patients go to therapy for eight weeks while others stay for three years or more. And, naturally, you are welcome to come back as often as you like.

No, our IOP program does not incorporate detox or inpatient rehab treatment. If you are uncertain if you should enroll in one of these services in advance of exploring outpatient care at The Counseling Center, you are encouraged to call 732-605-6364. A member of our team will respond immediately and consult with you on finding the assistance you need at another facility.

Outpatient treatment and inpatient treatment are different levels of care. During inpatient therapy, you reside in residential facilities with access to support on a 24-hour basis. Inpatient options provide you a safe place to step away from outside influences and get persistent assistance as you detox or recover from alcohol or drugs or are in jeopardy of relapsing when in rehab.

Outpatient care is sensible once you have progressed enough in your recovery that you don’t need as much monitoring or medical support. Outpatient facilities help you remain sober with group, individual, and family therapy while allowing you to balance your normal activities. You are able to attend treatment several days every week but return home after therapy as you keep working to enduring sobriety.

The Counseling Center Toms River is not affiliated with any religion. Although we believe your personal religious and spiritual beliefs may contribute to substance use recovery, we do not base our treatment on any single belief system.

We believe the 12-step approach to counseling is effective for many people. Our facility employs a number of principles of 12-step programs, including an emphasis on group therapy in our treatment. We also host 12-step meetings on our premises, and a majority of individuals in our care take part in these. However, our focus is always to supply individualized care for your unique requirements.

We strongly recommend family involvement in therapy, and we offer weekly family support groups. Our expert family counselors can help you and your family:

 

  • Improve your understanding of addiction and mental health disorders 
  • Handle the strain of drug and alcohol recovery 
  • Enhance communication between family members 
  • Find solutions to conflicts 
  • Identify co-dependency habits 
  • Restore trust 
  • Find how to help each other

 

Your family members might want to start by joining us for a family education group. These discussions are hosted Wednesday evenings and provide families helpful tips about supporting someone you care about in addiction recovery.
