Intensive Outpatient with Lodging Program
Clients enrolled in the Men’s Intensive Outpatient with Lodging Program reside at Riverwood Campus. This program is made up of 3 phases. Throughout the duration of treatment, clients are required to attend a weekly individual session with their Primary Counselor. During this weekly session, the counselor will review with the client their individual treatment plan, discuss their progress towards discharge, and update their 6 Dimension severity ratings. Clients need to contact their primary counselor to schedule this weekly appointment.
In addition to group and individual meetings, clients are required to attend 3-5 abstinence based sober support group meetings weekly and to obtain a sponsor by phase II.
