Continuing Care

ASAP’s Continuing Care Program helps maintain gains made during IOP.

Upon graduation from Clarity Intensive or TRIP, each client and family are eligible for program specific Continuing Care. These weekly groups are semi-structured around topics that:

• strengthen ongoing recovery
• avoid a return to substance use
• teach coping strategies
• develop social skills
• promote emotional regulation
• review skills learned during IOP
• apply skills to weekly life events
• reinforce positive behavior
• build mastery of skills gained during IOP

With support from the ASAP staff, participants are encouraged to discuss issues and challenges they are facing in order to advance their recovery or mental health management.

The accepting atmosphere of Continuing Care allows group members to share their personal successes and struggles. They receive support and feedback from peers and feel ongoing encouragement from the ASAP staff.

Continuing Care is recommended for approximately 20 weeks following graduation from IOP. It is recommended that each graduate of TRIP or Clarity Intensive enter this next phase of treatment. Research has shown that ongoing engagement in treatment enhances the probability of continued recovery.

Graduates of TRIP or Clarity Intensive may choose to begin or continue individual therapy with ASAP providers. These sessions are not billed to insurance, but we can provide you with superbills to turn in for out of network reimbursement if available. Contact our clinicians directly to schedule.
