According to the rehab team, up to 95 percent of people who enter Extended Care Programs complete it and leave the rehab feeling more confident about recovery.

The IOP includes three group sessions every week, each lasting three hours. The minimum duration of an IOP is six weeks, and it may continue beyond this date as per individual preferences. As a part of an IOP, all clients get a chance to avail of therapeutic services three days a week for three hours per session. In these sessions, they learn more about their addiction and acquire new coping skills to manage it more effectively. As a part of these virtual programs, many clients get access to HighwatchAA meetings to make a recovery easier and longer lasting.

Some common goals of an IOP include the following:

• Acquiring newer, healthier coping strategies
• Learning relapse management in the early stages
