Eternal Crisis Outreach is an IOP Provider (ASAM I.II)
Intensive Outpatient Programs or IOPs are treatment programs that are used to target addictions, depression, eating disorders, or other dependencies that do not need detoxification or 24/7 supervision. IOP therapy allows the patient to have a more normal daily routine. IOP therapy is also a more science-based approach to addiction recovery. However, outpatient treatment isn’t right for every rehab attendee.

Goals and Objectives
The primary goal of addiction counseling is to help the client achieve and maintain abstinence from addictive chemicals and behaviors. The secondary goal is to help the client recover from the damage the addiction has done to the client’s life.
Agents of Change
As an supplement to the counseling model, the client must take responsibility for working a program of recovery. Although recovery is ultimately the client’s task, he or she is encouraged to get a great deal of support from others such as the client’s counselors, treatment staff, sponsor, drug free or recovering peers, and family members.

- Teach the client about addiction and about the tools of recovery.
- Encourage and motivate the client.

Conception of Drug Abuse/
Addiction Causative Factors
Drug abuse is thought to be a multi determined, mal-adaptive way of coping with life problems that often becomes habitual and leads to a progressive deterioration in life circumstance. Habituation of drug abuse is addiction, seen as a disease in its own right, which damages the addict physically, mentally, and spiritually. Causation is not a prominent focus of treatment.
Values and Guiding Principles
Eternal Crisis believes that every individual has the right to services that are comprehensive culturally competent, and family-centered.
