Adults > Intensive Outpatient Program

Acadia Abilene's Intensive Outpatient Program is designed to assist individuals who require stabilization without the intensity of inpatient hospitalization. This service is offered for adult patients, ages 18 and above, with a psychiatric, chemical dependency, or dual diagnosis. Patients attend programming three days a week for approximately three hours each day. Groups are led by licensed, masters-level therapists. The program is designed as either a transition up from weekly outpatient therapy appointments or a transition down from a higher level of care. The purpose of the program is to assist individuals in developing coping skills in order to handle daily stressors in a healthy way. Group topics vary, but are typically centered around coping with symptoms related to substance abuse, depression, mood instability, and anxiety.
