When you toss a pebble into a pond,
at the point of contact you cause a change;

a change that ripples out in all directions.
And these waves of change are felt
by whatever else they happen to touch. 
This simple image symbolizes both
the vision and responsibility of who we are.

Intensive Outpatient Program
 
The ChangePoint Intensive Outpatient Program is specifically designed to serve clients with significant diagnosable substance dependence disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders. Clients in the IOP tend to have more ancillary needs, which are addressed in treatment, such as housing, employment, medical and psychiatric issues, domestic violence etc.
Key Elements of the Intensive Outpatient Program
Treatment. The treatment approach for intensive outpatient clients is founded on evidence-based studies and combines cognitive behavioral treatment with a strong emphasis on motivational interviewing.
Counseling. Treatment includes group sessions as well as individual counseling as required on a case by case basis.
Prevention Therapy. The intensive outpatient program places special importance on relapse prevention. Therapies aimed at relapse prevention include emphasis on identification and skill building for stress reduction.
Case Management. Treatment includes case management and referrals to employment readiness agencies, housing services, mental health counseling, psychiatric care and medical care as needed.
Family Education. In order to provide better support for intensive outpatient clients, family, partners and other support individuals are offered educational sessions aimed at helping them understand the addiction process and the pathways to recovery.
