What is a Virtual IOP?

Let’s start with IOP, which stands for Intensive Outpatient Program.

IOP is a level of behavioral healthcare where clients live at home or in a recovery-supportive environment while engaging in 9 – 19 hours of treatment per week. IOP clients typically attend several hours of treatment daily for between 3 and 5 days per week. IOP schedules vary by provider and, in some cases, according to client needs.

Virtual IOP provides the same services and treatment as an in-person IOP, but clients participate in treatment via telehealth — digital technology-assisted healthcare delivery.

Foundry Outpatient Steamboat Virtual IOP clients use laptops or mobile devices and free, secure telehealth software to engage in our virtual IOP.

Our licensed and experienced clinicians conduct telehealth sessions from private offices just like in-person sessions. Group therapy is also conducted via telehealth.

What Makes Our IOP a Good Fit for You or a Loved One?

Foundry Outpatient Steamboat Virtual IOP is an experienced provider ideal for adults experiencing addiction, co-occurring mental health disorders, and trauma.

Experience

Our licensed clinicians are experienced and have extensive training in working with individuals and families to assess and comprehensively treat dual-diagnosis conditions.


Expertise

Our clinicians can tailor treatment plans to the needs of individuals because they have many therapeutic tools at their disposal. Through training, continuing education, and collaboration, our team is able to deliver a broad range of therapies, connect clients with specialized medical providers when needed, and recommend alternate levels or types of care. Our therapeutic modalities include DBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, schema work, numerous trauma therapies, and Gestalt approaches.


Effectiveness

All NRT Behavioral Health programs use measurement-based care to track client progress and clinical outcomes. Our metrics demonstrate significant symptom reduction, skills development, improved relationships, and the ability for clients who complete treatment to establish recovery.


Unique Care Model

The Trauma-Integrated Care model developed by our Chief Clinical Advisor, Dr. Michael Barnes, is designed to make treatment more effective by addressing unresolved trauma, helping individuals learn to lead a full and balanced recovery-supportive lifestyle, focusing on home safety, and educating loved ones and family members.


Integrated Family Programming

Addiction is a family disease that can have resounding negative effects on family members and relationships. We include family programming that focuses on educating clients and their family members about the disease of addiction, how members can get their own care, and how to create recovery-supportive home environments.


Strong Alumni Community

Our alumni community is growing and thriving. Connecting with other people in recovery is extremely helpful and can be the source of long-term support and camaraderie. Our alumni program organizes events and reunions and offers regular virtual meetings.


We’re locals.

Our treatment staff lives, works, and plays in Colorado. We understand the lifestyles of the individuals in our care and are familiar with local and regional treatment and community resources. Being part of the Colorado community helps us relate to our clients and recommend specific and practical continuing care services.


Conditions Treated

We are a licensed behavioral healthcare provider offering evidence-based intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) for adult substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders.

Alcohol Use Disorder (Alcoholism)

Alcohol claims the lives of more people annually than any other substance. We are experts at helping people safely stop drinking alcohol and engaging in a comprehensive program of therapies to achieve sobriety and recovery.

Heroin Addiction & Opioid Use Disorder

Heroin, fentanyl, and other opioid addictions remain at epidemic levels. We offer comprehensive therapy, psychiatric prescribing, and anti-craving medication.

Dual-Diagnosis Disorders

Substance Use and Co-Occurring Mental Health Disorders are also known as Dual-Diagnosis Disorders. It is very common for addiction to involve anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar personality disorder, psychosis, and other mental health disorders. Treating both conditions effectively is vital.

Methamphetamine Addiction & Stimulant Use Disorder

Stimulant overdose is a growing problem, especially as the supply is adulterated with fentanyl or other opioids. We offer extensive experience helping people experiencing methamphetamine and stimulant use disorder.

Benzodiazepine Addiction

Benzodiazepines like Alprazolam (Xanax®),
Clonazepam (Klonopin®), Diazepam (Valium®), and Lorazepam (Ativan®) are medications typically used to treat anxiety but are often misused. Because suddenly stopping the use of benzodiazepines can be fatal, carefully supervised detoxification is needed.

Cannabis Use Disorder

Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) is a growing problem nationwide. Studies indicate increasing rates of cannabis use disorder following teh legalization and commercialization of cannabis in recent years. Cannabis Use Disorder poses unique health challenges, including hyperemesis, psychosis, paranoia, and heart-health risks. A significant stabilization period may be required before clients with CUD are stable enough to engage in treatment programming. Foundry Front Range has specialized expertise in treating Cannabis Use Disorder.

Co-Occurring Mental Health Disorders

Substance Use Disorders are very often accompanied by mental health disorders (so-called co-occurring mental health disorders). Clients may have mental health disorders before developing a substance use disorder, or they may develop mental illness resulting from substance use disorders. Some common co-occurring mental health disorders include anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, psychosis, oppositional defiance, anger, and guilt and shame. Individuals may also experience cognitive or thought disorders, which can be diagnosed through specialized screening.

Trauma and PTSD

Trauma and addictive disorders are inextricably linked. Whether someone has experienced an adverse childhood event (ACE) or traumatizing life events during adulthood, the symptoms of trauma can create a perceived need to self-medicate with alcohol or drugs. In most cases, trauma must be resolved or processed before clients are able to benefit from addiction treatment and achieve recovery.

Family System Dysfunction

Families are complex social units that may be sources of beliefs, stresses, and other factors that can lead to the development of addiction and mental health disorders. Studies also indicate that genetic inheritance can predispose individuals to addiction or mental illness. For this reason, getting a thorough family history can be helpful in assessing client needs.

Virtual IOP Schedule

Intensive Outpatient treatment requires a significant time commitment for good reason. We strive to provide high-quality and quantity of treatment to address our clients’ wide range of needs. Substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders are complex, chronic medical conditions that require comprehensive and personalized treatment plans. We understand that our clients often need to balance their treatment with work, family care, and other responsibilities. Our scheduling attempts to make treatment as convenient as possible for clients.

  • Three, three-hour structured group sessions per week (6:00-9:00PM)
  • Individual counseling sessions with an LPC/LCSW
  • Individual recovery coaching sessions with a certified addiction specialist
