The Extended Outpatient Program provides therapy options (individual, group, family, pharmacotherapy) for individuals with addiction issues that focus on addiction problems, relapse prevention, and coping skills. Individuals learn about the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of addictive behaviors.

Individuals with substance use disorders have the option of receiving outpatient treatment three times a week through our Intensive Outpatient Program. The Intensive Outpatient Program is designed to aggressively address addiction problems while allowing individuals to maintain a job and live at home. Treatment plans are individualized and involve some combination of individual, group, and family therapy. 

UI ARC provides legal, or court ordered, substance use evaluations for individuals. UI ARC also offers non-legal substance use evaluations to understand an individual's substance use and to develop appropriate treatment plans. These evaluations assess the severity of substance use disorders, identify related psychosocial needs, and determine the best interventions for recovery.

The Dual Diagnosis Track in the Partial Hospital provides care to individuals who have either a medical or mental illness in combination with an addiction. Individuals participate in structured therapy programs during the day and spend nights at home. Our professional staff develops an individualized treatment plan that includes both individual and group therapy as well as medication management. Services are designed to help individuals readjust to community life and/or move into less structured outpatient programs. The program meets five days a week from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. 

The Professional Program is designed to meet the special needs of professionals with addiction issues. Services include individual and group therapy, UA testing, and assistance managing various professional-licensing board requirements.
