Intensive aftercare program for drug and alcohol addiction

No, you don’t need to complete inpatient treatment to access our intensive outpatient treatment program. While some people step down from residential care, many begin their recovery journey right here — particularly those who are struggling with addiction but have strong supports at home or work.

This IOP program is designed to meet you where you are. Whether you're seeking a new treatment option or continuing after detoxification, we’ll build a personalised treatment plan that supports your goals and recovery process.

The typical IOP schedule involves multiple touchpoints each week — a mix of one-on-one therapy, group therapy, and structured recovery planning. This ensures consistency while allowing for flexibility.

A weekly example might include:

• Monday: One-on-one counselling and treatment plan review
• Tuesday: Group setting peer therapy session
• Wednesday: Dialectical behaviour therapy or relapse prevention
• Thursday: Trauma-informed counselling or addiction medicine session
• Friday: Self-reflection, journaling, or optional online support

A day in the life of an IOP participant often includes work or study, midday or evening therapy, and practical strategies for navigating substance use disorder in real-time.

We understand that life happens. If you need to miss a session, we’ll help you reschedule wherever possible and make sure you stay on track with your treatment plan. Ongoing communication with your care team ensures you're still supported.

Our goal is consistency, not perfection — and part of addiction recovery means learning how to bounce back from life’s interruptions without shame or fear of losing momentum.

Traditional counselling is typically once a week and more generalised. An IOP is structured, intensive outpatient addiction treatment that combines multiple therapeutic approaches, regular sessions, and a coordinated team of specialists.

Our IOP offers:

• Multiple sessions per week
• A blend of individual and group therapy
• Focused behavioural therapy for addiction and mental health
• A structured schedule that supports lifestyle integration
• Ongoing evaluation and adjustment of your care

Yes. We offer full access to the IOP program via secure telehealth for those who cannot attend in person. This includes therapy, group sessions, and recovery coaching.

Online IOP is ideal for clients in rural areas, or those with mobility, health, or family constraints. You’ll still receive the same quality of care, connection, and treatment for addiction as our in-person participants.

Yes, IOP is just one step in your longer recovery process. Once you’ve completed the program, you’ll have access to follow-up care, aftercare planning, and community-based resources.

We also offer:

• Alumni check-ins
• Family support groups
• Ongoing access to digital tools and peer networks
• Referrals to local addiction recovery services or day treatment options

Absolutely. Many people managing substance abuse also live with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other mental health challenges. Our IOP is designed to support dual-diagnosis clients through a blend of addiction medicine and evidence-based psychotherapy.

Every treatment plan addresses both substance use and mental health together — because they’re often deeply linked and require a unified approach to recovery.

If you have completed inpatient treatment and are ready to move into tertiary care, we aim to help you begin the intensive aftercare program as quickly as possible, with support tailored to your ongoing recovery needs.
