Overview
Why Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) with Lodging?
NorthStar Regional’s intensive outpatient with lodging program treats men and women, while encouraging clients, at the right time, to seek employment or volunteer as they begin re-integrating into the community.
We are dedicated to providing integrated co-occurring chemical dependency and mental health care with a high-intensity, multidisciplinary team. People who have a substance use disorder as well as a mental health disorder are diagnosed as having co-occurring disorders. This is also sometimes called a dual diagnosis. This approach allows us to achieve the best treatment outcomes.
Full Details
Intensive Outpatient with Lodging Program
Clients enrolled in the Intensive Outpatient with Lodging Program reside at Sugar Creek Campus, Klein Mansion, Valley View, or Bluff House (at our 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. While enrolled in the program, clients are able to utilize our membership at the Chaska Community Center, which features an award winning aquatics area, gymnasiums, racquetball courts, strength equipment, cardio machines and group fitness classes.
