Intensive Outpatient (IOP)

Finally, people who suffer from addiction can receive the treatment and support they need in an outpatient setting while remaining at home.  The IOP is a non-hospital, intensive treatment experience designed for clients whose clinical needs go beyond routine outpatient therapy.  Eligibility for IOP will be determined during the client evaluation.

New Insights has been on the forefront in providing the Intensive Outpatient Treatment level of care since 1988.  Our program consists of three weekly group meetings and a combination of individual and family counseling sessions.

The intensive phase is a maximum of six weeks and is followed by traditional outpatient services.  Day and evening sessions are available and provided at both our York and Lemoyne offices.

It is notable that New Insights introduced Intensive Outpatient Treatment to Central Pennsylvania and has been a leader in the development and promotion of this level of care statewide.

Why can we say this?

Our director was appointed by the Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Programs (BDAP) to be chairman of the statewide special committee to develop PA Client Placement Criteria for both Intensive Outpatient and Partial Hospitalization levels of treatment.  He co-founded the PA Intensive Outpatient Providers Association, which gained statewide recognition.  The association was very instrumental in lobbying and gaining recognition for this level of care. As a result, the number of licensed partial hospitalization programs statewide increased dramatically.

Our director was also chosen by BDAP to be a peer reviewer for partial programs throughout the state.  In addition, he was asked to personally select the other nine peer reviewers and facilities in each area of the state to be reviewed.
