The IOP program is designed to accommodate work and family life while seeking recovery. An IOP is effective in stabilizing patient symptoms, potentially limiting the need for higher levels of care such as hospital stays, and providing patients with an increased skillset and community resources to maintain their recovery. Butler Hospital’s IOP fosters the development of relapse and recovery skills along with coping strategies necessary to manage patient’s co-occurring disorders. ###### Contact Information: **Substance Use Intensive Outpatient** To make an appointment  as referral or self-refer care, contact Care New England’s  Behavioral Health Services Call Center 24/7 P: [1 (844) 401-0111](tel:1%20(844)%20401-0111) **Butler Outpatient Behavioral Health **20 Commons Corner Way Building 12 South Kingstown, RI 02879 P: [(401) 294-6170](tel:(401)%20294-6170) F: (401) 295-5255 **Butler Behavioral Health | Providence **345 Blackstone Blvd. Providence, RI 02906** **P: [(401) 455-6212](tel:+401-455-6212) F: (401) 455-6295 ##### Services include: - Individual therapy - Group therapy on relapse prevention, recovery skills, stress management, and relaxation techniques - Therapy to address co-occurring mental health issues, when appropriate - Medication management - 12-step groups - Peer support - Therapy for family and concerned persons - Medical evaluations - Urine toxicology screening - Communication with the client’s external providers (i.e. primary care provider, legal counsel, Department of Children, Youth and Families) ##### Effective aftercare planning: Our expert staff works closely with patients to develop a plan for maintaining the successes gained during their IOP treatment period.
