We understand that each person in this program comes with very diverse issues and problems. We are sensitive to everyone’s needs, personality, communication style, readiness to change and personal preferences. We will work with you to develop a treatment plan that takes into consideration these preferences within the structure and guidelines of the intensive outpatient treatment program.
Skills-development groups These groups offer clients the opportunity to practice specific behaviors in the safety of the treatment setting. Common types of skills training include: • Drug or alcohol refusal training. Clients act out scenarios in which they are invited to use substances and roles play their responses. • Relapse prevention techniques. Using relapse prevention materials, clients analyze one another’s personal triggers and high-risk situations for substance use and determine ways to manage or avoid them. • Assertiveness training. Clients learn the differences among assertive, aggressive, and passive behaviors and practice being assertive in different situations. • Stress management. Clients identify situations that cause stress and learn a variety of techniques to respond to stress. Support groups (e.g., process-oriented recovery groups) Members focus on immediate issues and on: • Pragmatic ways to change negative thinking, emotions, and behavior • Tolerating or resolving conflict without resorting to violence or substance use
