IOP PROGRAM KEY FEATURES
KEY FEATURES:
1.

These sessions cover a range of topics, including coping skills, trauma processing, anger management, substance abuse recovery, and interpersonal relationships. Group therapy fosters camaraderie, support, and a sense of belonging among participants.
3. Individual Counseling: In addition to group therapy, service members receive one-on-one counseling sessions with licensed therapists to explore personal issues, set goals, and work through challenges in a private and confidential setting.

This may involve referrals to community resources, continued outpatient therapy, support group participation, vocational assistance, and ongoing psychiatric follow-up to promote long-term recovery and well-being.
