The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is dedicated to helping individuals develop healthier coping skills and build a recovery support network. Participants can continue to work, attend school, and tend to the duties of daily life. This nine-hour-a-week (three hours a day, three days a week) program allows patients the opportunity to practice their new skills while still benefiting from the support and accountability of treatment. This program allows participants to receive treatment on a part-time, yet intensive schedule. We believe that recovery and life are one and the same and it is for that reason that daily life is an integral therapeutic component of treatment.

Our therapists work with children, young adults and families in school settings, homes or in our convenient office located in Baton Rouge, La. Our Dual diagnosis treatment is a comprehensive approach for treating substance use disorders that co-occur with another mental illness, such as anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The goal of dual diagnosis treatment is to help clients with these co-occurring disorders (also known as “comorbidities”) learn how to manage both illnesses (alcohol and anxiety, for example) via a combination of medication and behavioral therapies.

We offer medication management for mental health and Suboxone (buprenorphine) treatment for opioid use disorder. Our medical provider works with you to find the right medication and dose, watch for side effects, and adjust your plan as you make progress.
What is Suboxone?
Suboxone is an FDA-approved medication that contains buprenorphine and naloxone. It helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, so you can focus on your recovery. When taken as prescribed, it helps you feel stable, not high.
How treatment works:
1. Getting started: We review your health history and start the medication safely.
2. Finding your dose: We adjust your dose until cravings and withdrawal are under control.
3. Staying on track: You keep taking your medication and have regular check-ins with our provider.
Whole-person care: Medication works best alongside counseling and support, so we connect you with our counseling and IOP services.
Staying safe:
• Take your medication only as prescribed.
• Tell your provider about all other medications you take.
• Avoid alcohol and sedatives unless your provider approves them.
• Keep your medication locked up and away from children.
Your care is private and confidential.
