You know it’s time to think about drug and alcohol addiction treatment. You rely too much on substances to get through the day, but the commitment to visiting a treatment center numerous times a week may seem overwhelming. For some people, virtual drug and alcohol addiction treatment could be effective, and it may be exactly what you need to move your health and mental well-being forward.
At Iron Bridge, we offer a virtual intensive outpatient program (virtual IOP) as a strategy to support you in your recovery. If you meet the criteria for it, you can expect us to provide ongoing support from a distance, allowing you to live your life and meet your responsibilities while still getting the life-saving treatment you need.
What is a Virtual IOP?
A virtual IOP for drug addiction makes it easier for those who need help to get it by providing direct access to treatment remotely. At Iron Bridge, we use the Trac9 platform to help you get the treatment and assessment you need, even if you do not come in to see us for daily or weekly sessions in person. It allows us to monitor your progress over time and provide you with tailored treatment and supportive care based on your performance.
For many people just completing residential treatment or those who are engaging in a traditional IOP, a virtual IOP can be a very effective step-down treatment. Some people may benefit from virtual programs from the start. We provide you with a full assessment to determine how well a virtual IOP can work for you, and then we will work closely with you to support you throughout your recovery.
Is a Virtual IOP Effective?
Investing in any type of drug and alcohol addiction treatment makes sense when the type of treatment offered applies directly to your life and needs. While studies continue to show that IOPs are viable solutions, both as a first step and as ongoing care, you also have to consider the long-term benefits of continued care.
If you do not have transportation or the means to come in for treatment throughout the week for traditional outpatient care, a virtual IOP might be right for you.
Keep in mind that to gain the benefits, you must be committed to treatment. That’s easy to say but much harder to do once you start working at it. With a virtual IOP, you’ll need to be more committed and dedicated to working through your addiction recovery. That means you’ll need to:
- Attend your meetings when you schedule them
- Use the Trac9 platform on a routine basis
- Communicate openly and honestly with your therapist when you need help
- Meet your program objectives and treatment guidelines
- Be committed to healing from addiction’s pain
How Can You Get Help Through A Virtual IOP?
You’re facing an incredible challenge and opportunity. As you continue to face addiction’s hold on your daily life, consider just how accessible treatment can be to you. Here are a few things you can expect from this process:
- You receive an assessment: Individualized treatment is critical to every person’s success. That is why you will receive a full assessment to determine whether a virtual IOP is the right choice for you or if you need other support levels first.
- You get the one-on-one support you need: You will be able to work through challenges within both a group environment and individual therapy sessions.
- You’ll use Trac9: This platform is very easy to use, and it allows for both the creation of tailored treatment plans for each person and a way for us to monitor how well you are doing.
With our Virtual IOP, you are able to get the care you need right now to fight addiction, and you can receive that care right within your own home. Focus on your recovery and healing while not missing a beat with your at-home responsibilities or work-related requirements.
