Who IOP may fit in Oklahoma City
An assessment with Stages admissions decides the right level of care. The OKC program page lists questions like these to help you think it through.
People finishing detox or inpatient care
The OKC program page describes IOP as typically used as aftercare, after detox and/or inpatient treatment.
People who want to keep working or studying
IOP is built to let you keep a home and work life. Stages also describes collegiate recovery roots, and says its OKC office is near Oklahoma City University.
People considering sober living
The OKC program strongly recommends sober living during IOP. Ask admissions about options.
Questions to ask yourself
- Is drinking or drug use affecting your work, school, health or relationships?
- Have you tried to cut back or stop and found you couldn't?
- Do you have physical symptoms when you stop? If so, ask about detox before IOP.
- Do you have a safe, substance-free place to live during treatment?
When IOP may not be enough
IOP is outpatient care. Stages does not provide medical detox or residential treatment. Its Oklahoma City program page states that clients must be free from drugs and alcohol from their first session, and that people who have withdrawal symptoms need detox first. If that may apply to you, call admissions to talk through next steps and outside providers. If you're in immediate danger, call 911. For a mental-health or substance-use crisis, call or text 988.
