The Difference Between OP and IOP
The Outpatient Program (OP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Gemini Recovery Centers both provide essential support for individuals recovering from substance use disorders, but they differ in intensity and structure. The OP offers flexible scheduling with fewer sessions per week, making it suitable for those with a stable home environment and mild to moderate addiction issues. In contrast, the IOP involves multiple sessions per week, providing a more structured and intensive approach ideal for those needing substantial support or transitioning from a higher level of care. Both programs aim to help clients maintain sobriety and reintegrate into daily life, tailored to their specific recovery needs.
What to Expect in Our Outpatient Program
Our Outpatient Program offers a flexible treatment schedule that allows clients to receive high-quality care while maintaining their daily responsibilities. This program is ideal for those who have completed more intensive levels of care, such as our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) or Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), or for individuals who require less intensive support. Here’s what you can expect:
Regular Therapy Sessions – Clients participate in individual and group therapy sessions that help them develop coping skills, manage stress, and stay focused on their recovery goals.
Flexible Scheduling – The OP is designed to fit around the client’s daily life, making it possible to attend therapy sessions without disrupting work, school, or family commitments.
Supportive Community – Building a network of support is essential for recovery. Our program fosters connections among peers, providing a community where clients can share experiences and support each other.
Evidence-Based Practices – Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, ensuring that clients receive the most effective treatments available.
Modalities We Use In Our OP
Anger Management Therapy
Anger is a natural emotion, but when expressed destructively, it can increase the risk of addiction and hinder recovery. Our anger management therapy helps clients understand their triggers and develop healthier ways to cope with anger, thus supporting relapse prevention and overall emotional well-being.
Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment
Many individuals struggling with addiction also face mental health challenges such as anxiety or depression. Our co-occurring disorders treatment addresses both substance use and mental health issues simultaneously, providing a holistic approach that promotes comprehensive healing and long-term recovery.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT is a therapeutic approach that combines acceptance and change strategies. It helps clients manage distress, regulate emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and build resilience. DBT is integrated into both individual and group therapy sessions, offering valuable tools for sustaining sobriety.
Family Therapy
Addiction affects not only the individual but also their loved ones. Family therapy aims to resolve familial conflicts, enhance communication, and improve relationships. By involving family members in the recovery process, we create a supportive environment that fosters healing for the entire family unit.
Group Therapy
Group therapy leverages the power of peer support to reduce feelings of isolation and promote accountability. Various types of group therapy, including psychoeducational, skills development, and support groups, provide clients with diverse opportunities to learn, share, and grow together.
Music Therapy
Music therapy uses the emotional and expressive power of music to aid in addiction recovery. Through activities such as active music making, music-assisted relaxation, and lyric analysis, clients can explore their emotions, reduce stress, and enhance their overall well-being.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
MAT combines FDA-approved medications with behavioral therapies to address the physical, psychological, and social aspects of addiction. This approach helps stabilize brain chemistry, reduce cravings, and prevent withdrawal symptoms, making it easier for clients to focus on their recovery journey.

- Continued Support – Clients receive ongoing care and support as they transition back into their daily lives, helping them maintain their progress and prevent relapse.
