Edgewood Vancouver Addiction Services is proud to offer an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Intensive Outpatient Program is a yearlong program comprised of an assessment and two phases.
Assessment (if needed)
The initial consult is a free 2 hour assessment using industry standard assessment tools like the MAST, DAST, PDSQ and URIC readiness to change evaluations, drug and alcohol histories. We determine an individual's motivation and appropriateness for intensive outpatient treatment.
Based on the conclusion of the assessment we will recommend any of three options:
- Phase One Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
- Inpatient residential treatment
- One on one addiction coaching and recovery planning
If Phase One is indicated, the individual will be enrolled in the next start date of IOP.
Phase One is 6 weeks long, three nights a week (Monday-Wednesday) program that deals with:
- Intensive psycho education on disease of addiction
- Relapse prevention
- Group process
- Homework
- Costs/benefits of continued use
- Self-assessment and decision making on treatment options
- Anxiety management
- Alternative health
- Family involvement and education
- Drug monitoring
Bridge Counselling
If the next IOP is not in the near future, we will do Bridge Counselling until the next IOP date. In Bridge Counselling we will determine an abstinence date, detox assistance and an interim recovery plan. This will help the person stay motivated and on track. Each session costs $125+HST, of which $75 will be credited to the cost of the IOP.
Phase Two consists of 12 months of
- Once a week continuing care group therapy
- Relapse response contract
Optional services at extra cost include:
- Drug monitoring (optional)
- Individual counseling and recovery coaching
