Following IOP care, both adolescent and adult clients may enroll in the Extended Care Program, an aftercare program designed to help clients address potential obstacles to sobriety, including unresolved grief or trauma, work-related issues, and others. The program treats dual diagnoses such as depression, chronic pain, and PTSD among others. Services include individual, group, and family therapy; medical management; and 12-step treatment. Group topics in extended care include chronic pain, relapse prevention, trauma recovery, grief and loss, and desensitization.
