The Addiction Rehabilitation Program is an outpatient day program consisting of three tracks: a five to ten day full day program, an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) which is a half day program three days per week, for between two and four weeks or an Evening Intensive Outpatient Program which is an evening program three days per week.

- The Addiction Rehabilitation Program/full day schedule runs from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm Monday through Friday. The full day program includes four groups per day four days per week, and on Wednesdays consists of two groups plus a presentation from a representative from Alcoholics Anonymous and a mid-day visit to a local AA meeting.
- The Intensive Outpatient Program/half day consists of two groups per day, runs from 9:00 am through 11:30 am, and is integrated into the full day group program. IOP is offered on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, but alternative days and schedules may be arranged with your case manager.

Program Approach

The Addiction Rehabiliation Program at Emerson is a group based program for those who are recently sober, and is designed to provide intensive support, knowledge and tools to assist patients in long term recovery. The groups are psycho-educational and focus on better understanding the patterns and physiology of addiction, triggers to relapse, techniques and resources to avoid relapse, and resources for ongoing support such as twelve step/self help programs, individual or group therapy. The program includes an orientation to various self-help programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, SMART Recovery, and Al-Anon. In addition to the groups, each ARP participant has an individual case manager who meets with the patient and/or the patient’s family periodically through the program for additional support and to address individual issues. Each patient sees a psychiatrist within the first two days of the program, again near completion, and during the program as needed. On completion of the program each patient leaves with a comprehensive Relapse Prevention Plan which is developed by the patient in consultation with their case manager. While in the program participants are expected to abstain from all substance abuse and respect the confidentiality of other participants.
