Intensive Outpatient Program
What is IOP?
While some people may need inpatient hospitalization (usually at the
onset of treatment), for chemical dependency, there are alternatives to
inpatient treatment. Flagstaff Medical Center Behavioral Health Services
offers a program known as an Intensive Outpatient Program or IOP. It is
innovative, holistic and effective in treating persons with addictions
problems. While in the program, individuals continue their daytime
activities, such as work and school while attending the program in the
evening.
The program addresses the physiological, psychological, social and
familial aspects of addiction. It includes the components of assessment,
counseling, education and aftercare. Family members are strongly
encouraged to attend some treatment sessions. The IOP program also
strongly encourages participants to attend 12 step or other support
groups as part of their treatment.
What are the treatment goals?
To develop a Recovery Program to maintain sobriety
To develop skills to cope with stress and emotional difficulties
To improve communication skills
To develop a new and healthy lifestyle
Who is eligible for the IOP?
The IOP at FMC BHS is designed for individuals with chemical dependency
(drug and alcohol). Criteria for
entering the program include the following:
The person does not need detoxification services
The person does not have any medical conditions which will pose
problems in an outpatient settingThe person commits to a drug/alcohol and gambling free lifestyle
Are families involved?
Every effort is made to involve families in the program. The IOP
philosophy recognizes that addiction is a family disease and impacts the
family of the client with addiction problems. The family education
portion of the program helps families to cope and heal.
How does someone begin IOP?

admission process. An individual appointment will be scheduled for an

meet the client’s needs.
