IOP & OUTPATIENT TREATMENT

Clinically Reviewed By: Matt Beck, LMFT

At 12 South Recovery, our outpatient treatment program offers individuals the flexibility and support they need while transitioning from more intensive treatment programs or continuing their recovery journey without the full-time commitment of residential care. Outpatient treatment provides essential therapy and case management, helping clients maintain their sobriety and mental wellness while managing their daily lives.

What is Outpatient Treatment?

Outpatient treatment at 12 South Recovery is designed for individuals who are ready to begin living independently again but still require therapeutic support. Clients attend scheduled therapy sessions during the day but return home or to sober living at night, making it ideal for those transitioning from a residential treatment program, detox, or those who don’t require full-time inpatient care.

The program is based on a combination of individual therapy, group therapy, and case management, which work together to provide the support clients need as they navigate their recovery journey.

Different Levels Of Outpatient Care

At 12 South Recovery, we offer different levels of outpatient care to meet the varying needs of our clients. These levels are designed to provide the right amount of support based on where an individual is in their recovery process.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is for those who need more structured support than traditional outpatient services. Clients attend therapy sessions five days a week, and the program includes both individual therapy and group therapy. This option is ideal for individuals who have recently completed residential treatment or detox and need a higher level of care while transitioning to less intensive outpatient services.

Outpatient Program

Our Outpatient Program is the most flexible of our outpatient care options. This level of care is ideal for clients who have made progress in their recovery and can manage their day-to-day responsibilities, such as work or school, while still receiving support. Clients meet with a therapist for individual and group sessions a few times a week, focusing on maintaining sobriety and addressing any ongoing mental health issues.

At 12 South Recovery, we understand that every client is at a different stage of recovery. Using the Stages of Change model, developed by one of the world’s leading psychologists, we guide clients through the recovery process, helping them overcome obstacles and build the foundation for lasting success.

Our outpatient programs are designed to support clients who still need addiction and mental health care but are ready to step down from the intensity of inpatient treatment. These programs meet clients where they are, providing the right level of support based on individual needs.

Each outpatient client is paired with both a case manager and a therapist, ensuring personalized guidance throughout the treatment process. Daily individual or group counseling helps clients transition from inpatient care to independent living, while the case manager remains an ongoing resource, offering regular check-ins and support.

Who Benefits from Outpatient Treatment?

Outpatient treatment is suitable for individuals who have completed residential treatment, detox, or who do not need the intensity of inpatient care. It provides the flexibility to return to everyday life while still receiving the support needed to maintain sobriety and address mental health challenges.

Clients may benefit from outpatient treatment if they:

  • Have completed residential treatment or detox and need continued support
  • Are experiencing concerns about relapse or need additional help after a short relapse
  • Have co-occurring mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD
  • Need to balance treatment with work, school, or family life

What to Expect in Outpatient Treatment

At 12 South Recovery, our outpatient program provides the same high-quality care that clients receive in residential treatment, but with more flexibility. Clients can expect the following:

  • Therapeutic Support: Clients participate in both individual therapy and group therapy, which focus on addiction recovery, mental health management, and developing healthy coping strategies.
  • Case Management: Each client is paired with a dedicated case manager who helps them navigate the recovery process, set goals, and address any challenges that arise.
  • Personalized Care: Treatment is tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals, addressing both addiction and mental health issues in a comprehensive way.

The goal of outpatient treatment is to help clients maintain abstinence, develop a strong support system, and make positive behavioral changes that lead to long-term recovery.

Benefits of Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient treatment provides several key benefits that make it a great option for individuals who are transitioning from more intensive care:

  • Continuity of care: Outpatient treatment offers ongoing support as clients move back into their everyday lives.
  • Flexibility: Clients can continue working, attending school, or taking care of family responsibilities while receiving treatment.
  • Cost-effective: Outpatient treatment tends to be more affordable than residential treatment.
  • Support and structure: Clients receive continued therapy and case management to help them stay on track and avoid relapse.

Outpatient Therapy

The need for client-centered care does not end when clients exit residential treatment. In fact, it’s at the outpatient level of care where clients tend to need extra support, as they transition back into more independent living. The life they knew before addiction and mental health treatment is not the life they need to go back to living; rather, it’s a matter of re-learning how to live without the distractions and challenges of substance abuse or mental health challenges.

As such, clients in our outpatient programs often benefit from outpatient therapy in both a one-on-one and group therapy setting. We find that successful treatment for both addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders tends to include some form of therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Our knowledgeable master’s level mental health and addiction therapists work with each client to determine the right therapy modality to address a client’s addiction challenges and any co-occurring mental health disorders. With our in-house team of expert mental health therapists, we provide compassionate, individualized care using the most cutting-edge, evidence-based modes of treatment for addiction and mental illness.
