An Overview of Our Intensive Outpatient Alcohol & Drug Rehab Treatment

Outpatient Drug Rehab for TeensOur outpatient drug rehab programs are designed to address the problems that arise in the daily lives of teenagers. During the day, I.O.P. counselors teach young people the tools needed for their recovery. These tools help teens discover the value of life without mind-altering chemicals. In the evenings, we host social events so that teens may exercise their new skills and find fun in a safe, drug-free environment. Our plans also include weekly sessions between parents and counselors because we believe the family involvement is essential to a complete recovery. For individuals discharged from I.O.P., we include an eight week after-care program at no additional charge.

Elements of Our Intensive Outpatient Drug Treatment Program

Our intensive outpatient drug rehab treatment programs for teens and young adults are comprised of group counseling, individual substance abuse counseling, and family counseling/support groups. Group sessions take place for four hours, five days a week. These sessions address the unique needs and issues teens and young adults face during rehab. During individual sessions, each young person works with our drug rehab professionals to develop personalized treatment, aftercare, and discharge plans. The Crossroads Program’s intensive outpatient program also includes three teen/young adult support groups, two sober, social events per week, and two parent-support group meetings per week.

Part of what makes The Crossroads Program a unique and more effective outpatient drug rehab program is our enthusiastic approach to recovery. Many teens fall into drug and alcohol abuse because they can be so prevalent in social situations. It is important to be aware of this because many teens will fall victim to these drugs again if they re-enter these familiar settings without the proper tools. Our weekly social events introduce them to a fun and satisfying social sobriety. During intensive outpatient drug rehab at Crossroads, teens develop both the tools to enjoy life without drugs or alcohol and also a network of friends who share their new-found desire to stay clean. Additionally, we provide support groups for young adults who may attend as long as two and a half years beyond the end of their treatment program.

Parent Support in Our Intensive Outpatient Treatment Programs

Outpatient Drug & Alcohol Rehab ProgramsBeyond the support that they provide for their child, parents of a teen or young adult in outpatient drug rehab often require support themselves. Crossroads provides support groups for parents of teens / young adults in our drug and alcohol rehab programs because parents learn a new method of support and assistance geared toward their childs recovery.  These meetings provide support for each parent and help the parents to work a 12 step program for themselves.
