## Drug & Alcohol Testing

Random drug and alcohol testing is provided as a means to monitor abstinence as well as serve as an aid in accountability for clients. The frequency of testing may be dependent upon the client’s status in the program, drug use pattern, relapse history, requirements as dictated by legal entities and other variables. Details regarding substance abuse testing is outline in Operations Policy 6.

#### Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a structured trauma, co-occurring mental health and [substance abuse disorder treatment program](https://emergerecoverytx.com/substance-abuse-treatment/) that typically runs 3-hours per day, three to five days per week. IOP allows clients to continue with their normal, day-to-day lives in a way that residential treatment programs do not.

#### Outpatient Program (OP)

Outpatient Program (OP) is a structured therapeutic group and process group which includes one day of 2-hour programming per week. OP allows clients to continue developing therapeutic skills and processes as they build a life of long-term recovery.

#### About Author

[Leah Malone](https://www.graceandemergerecovery.com/recovery-blog/author/leah-malone)

Learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings can be painful and disturbing at times. When Leah was able to see her behavior patterns and decided there was enough pain to be disturbed, she became motivated to make changes and accept the work that needed to be done to heal. She needed direction and had no clue how to heal on her own. Through a connection with God, authentic connection with others, honesty, willingness, and humility, Leah is now in recovery from addiction and trauma.
