The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a psycho-educational program for chemically dependent adults. This program offers treatment four evenings per week from 6:00 to 9:00pm, but if clients cannot make these times due to work or home conflicts, Day IOP can be offered from 9:00am to 12:00pm. Intensive Outpatient is designed for individuals who need education, counseling and support and can remain abstinent while living at home or working. This program includes the following:

• Group Therapy and Education
• Individual Counseling
• Family Education and Support Group
• Relapse Prevention
• 12-Step Support
• Free Aftercare

IOP treatment is designed to meet the needs of individuals who are active in their daily lives with things such as work, parenting, or school, but need ongoing support. Our goal is that, upon completion of IOP, you have been living sober for a period of time and feel excited about your life.  Call our Admissions office at 800-785-2400 or 510-548-7270 if you are interested in finding out more about our treatment programs.

New Bridge Foundation offers a free Aftercare Program for all individuals successfully completing treatment. The program consists of weekly group therapy, 12-step meetings, and random urine screens. Our Aftercare Program is unique in that there are multiple Aftercare groups and not just one large group where few clients get to share. This allows for individual attention and group bonding. 

We cannot stress enough the importance of attending Aftercare if you are able. Studies consistently show that the longer individuals stay in treatment, the better their chance of staying sober.  We designed our Aftercare Program with these studies in mind. If you are unable to attend Aftercare at New Bridge Foundation, we will work closely with you to create an Aftercare Plan which includes services in your area.  We want you to have the best chance possible of living a sober, happy life. Many clients report that the bonds they create in Aftercare are ones they have for a lifetime.
