Welcome to the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Pocono Mountain Recovery Center (PMRC)! Our program is centered on the understanding that the longer a patient participates in a treatment process, the greater chance he/she has of staying clean and sober. Appreciating the progressive nature of addiction and alcoholism, PMRC utilizes intensive strategies to break old rituals of use and create new habits of recovery. Our IOP services are gender specific and target the needs of the individual in a recovery process. PMRC’s IOP works closely with our local sober living which creates a 24-hour process of responsibility and accountability. We know that completing a residential program brings about some stability; we must meet the patient at that point and help him/her implement the tools for recovery. Time spent in our IO is used productively. We address failure to connect to the recovery process as well as chronic relapse and multiple inpatient treatment attempts. Individuals in early recovery often underestimate the psychological power of their addiction, while at the same time become over confident in their ability to function ...
... in society.

Our 3-phase program requires a 90-day stay to complete the requirements for completion. Each phase is 30-days; each patient moves to the next phase after meeting all the requirements of the previous phase. The requirements are as follows:

Actively participate in the IOP group processes
Complete treatment work in a timely manner
Follow 12-step fellowship recommendations (sponsor, home group, service commitment)
Do scheduled presentations in IOP
Follow recommendations of primary counselor
Stay accountable to your recovery and responsible with your sobriety
Attend 12-step meeting on a daily basis
Develop and maintain a working relationship with your sponsor and home group
