Evening Intensive Outpatient Program in Kennesaw

Flexible Drug & Alcohol Treatment in the Evening

At North Georgia Recovery Center, we know that recovery starts with the first step. However, we’re also aware that this first step can be the hardest one to take – especially for folks who have pre-existing responsibilities and busy daytime schedules.

That’s why we’ve created our Evening IOP program.

Our Evening IOP offers all the benefits of our Intensive Outpatient Program on a more flexible, evening-based schedule. Whether you’re a professional, student, or someone with a full and responsibility-filled life, this addiction treatment option may be a good fit and a great way to start your journey to recovery.

A busy work, school, or family life shouldn’t be a barrier to recovery. With our Evening IOP program, everyone can find the support and treatment they need. Learn more about our services or how to get started by calling (678) 940-7873 or contacting us online.

What Is Evening IOP?

An Evening Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a structured treatment program tailored for individuals struggling with substance abuse, mental health issues, or other behavioral disorders.

Like traditional IOPs, an Evening IOP is an alternative to residential rehab and inpatient programs, which require patients to dedicate themselves full-time and live on site, sometimes for a significant amount of time. Because this arrangement isn’t always possible or preferred, a Evening IOP bridges the gap by providing a workable solution to individuals who require greater flexibility.

Specifically, it’s designed for those who are seeking intensive addiction treatment support but are unable to attend a regular IOP due to daytime commitments and the need to work traditional hours.

What Disorders/Addictions Does Evening IOP Treat?

Patients enrolled in our Evening IOP receive addiction and mental health treatment for a range of disorders and substances. These include:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Bipolar disorder
• Alcohol addiction
• Drug addiction

Is Evening IOP Right for Me?

Our Evening Intensive Outpatient Programs is ideal for individuals seeking to maintain their daily routines while focusing on their recovery journeys. Whether you're unable to take a leave of absence from work, have unpredictable schedules due to college, or have family obligations, Evening IOP offers intensive care without the requirements of residential programs.

Evening IOP might be a good fit if:

• You’re a working professional who works traditional daytime hours, needs to be on call during times when traditional treatment programs are in session, or travel for business.
• You’re a student with a demanding school schedule or need to participate in study/tutoring sessions, school employment, and other activities during the day.
• You have a busy family life, need to care for children, parents, or other family members, or must be available for family reasons throughout the day.
• You want to start your recovery, but haven’t yet been able to because of scheduling conflicts, time-constraints, or the substantial commitment that residential rehab and inpatient programs require.

What Happens During Evening IOP?

Our Evening IOP focuses on addressing addiction and underlying mental health conditions to promote the complete wellbeing of patients. Experienced clinicians and friendly support staff are readily available, and other patients progressing through their recovery journeys are always nearby.

During Evening IOP sessions, clients engage in a combination of group therapy, one-on-one counseling, and other evidence-based practices and activities. These include:

• Group Therapy: Our group therapy program offers a supportive and compassionate environment where clients can share their experiences, challenges, and successes with peers and clinicians. This allows patients to gain important insights, receive constructive feedback, and find solidarity with others traveling the same journey as their own.
• Individual Therapy. One-on-one counseling sessions with a basis in talk therapy are a big part of our Evening IOP. Our licensed therapists customize sessions using proven, evidenced-based therapies and exercises such as CBT, journaling, visualization, and motivational incentives, and help patients explore ways to address cravings, identify triggers, manage stress, and maintain healthy relationships.
• Family Therapy. Our family therapy program involves talk therapy, thought exercises, and other methods of helping families work in unison toward recovery. These sessions are custom-tailored and often include “homework” meant to help families practice new skills in home settings.
• Mental Health Treatment. Taking a whole-person approach, our Evening IOP helps patients address underlying mental health issues and various problem areas in their lives. This includes support for managing dual diagnoses and sharpening skills for conflict management, communication, and coping with trauma and grief.
• Supportive & Alternative Therapies. In addition to traditional therapies, we offer alternative therapy options such as art therapy and experimental group therapy and provide enriching forms of support through spirituality groups and team building activities.

Why Choose Evening IOP?

Whether you're a professional, a student, or someone with family commitments, Evening IOP provides a convenient and effective solution for pursuing recovery without disrupting your life.
