Watchung, NJ - Drug overdose deaths in the U.S. have been on the rise in the past few years. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Rubicon Recovery Center is a critical countermeasure in the opioid crisis. 

According to the Addiction treatment center, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported a slight decline in drug overdose deaths in 2023 with an estimated 107,543 fatalities, a 3% decrease from 111,029 deaths in 2022. This decrease included opioid-related deaths, which dropped from 84,181 in 2022 to 81,083 in 2023. The opioid epidemic continues to impact adults aged 35 to 44, highlighting the need for treatment interventions. 

Rubicon Recovery Center knows the challenges addiction and substance abuse trends present. Its IOP is meticulously designed to address the intricacies of opioid addiction among adults, providing a flexible yet structured treatment approach. 

“Recovery becomes reality here. We provide you with the necessary tools and support, but the strength comes from within you. You're stronger than your addiction.” Laura DeMasi, Founder, Executive Director, Rubicon Recovery Center.

Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP) is designed for patients who need more support than standard outpatient care but don’t require inpatient/residential treatment. They can receive comprehensive therapy for several hours per week while living at home and maintaining their daily responsibilities. 

IOP suits individuals who exhibit certain behaviors/attributes that indicate that they’re struggling with substance use but still retain a degree of functionality in their daily lives. It’s ideal for patients transitioning from inpatient care, those with supportive/stable home environments conducive to recovery and those with work/family commitments. It also works for clients who don’t require detox/constant supervision and those managing substance use and mental health conditions. 

At Rubicon Recovery Center, IOP includes individual therapy sessions using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and neurofeedback therapy for addiction. Counselors collaborate with patients to address personal challenges, uncover underlying issues, and develop coping strategies. 

Patients can share their experiences and learn from others in similar situations through group therapy and support. In educational workshops, they can also learn life skills to be armed with knowledge and tools for long-term sobriety. Additionally, the drug rehabilitation watchung program leverages holistic approaches like mindfulness, yoga, or art therapy to treat the whole person. 

By integrating these evidence-based approaches, an IOP provides a multi-layered plan that addresses the complex nature of addiction. With personalized skills and strategies, patients develop healthy support networks, and their families understand the tenets of addiction, which reinforces a commitment to recovery.
