Trinity Care Associates’ Structured Outpatient Addiction Program (SOAP) previously known as IOP, is designed to provide a concentrated, time limited, comprehensive therapeutic environment for the treatment of mental health and substance abuse issues. Our Intensive Outpatient group therapy programs are designed for individuals seeking tools and principles of recovery whether as a step down from an inpatient or partial hospitalization setting, or simply someone needing treatment and support. We develop a unique treatment plan specifically tailored to each patient in the program affording everyone the opportunity to develop coping skills necessary to maintain recovery.
Since we are clinic based, patients have access to a multidisciplinary team of experts that includes psychiatrists, psychologists, registered nurses, master’s-leveled therapists and chemical dependency counselors. Patients and their families are also encouraged to consider themselves part of the “treatment team.” Each group meets three hours a day, three days a week, usually for an eight week period. However, the length of stay depends on a patient’s unique treatment plan.
All programs include individualized treatment plans, cognitive group therapy and therapeutic group exercises. And, the programs are designed so that a patient can enter the group at any time and, therefore, not delay necessary treatment.
Trinity Care Associates programs provide former patients ongoing psychosocial support. The groups are peer-run and are offered free of charge to former patients who have completed any TCA Behavioral level of care.
These groups consist of one 60-minute session per week. Patient sare encouraged to attend an Aftercare program for up to on e year as part of their discharge treatment plan.
