The Intensive Outpatient Program serves individuals who have met criteria for substance abuse or Substance dependence according DSM V criteria and meets criteria for ASAM level II.I placement. All individuals are assessed using the agency assessment, SASSI Addiction Severity Index and other approved tools. Individual may have a co-occurring disorder. Service protocol includes psychiatric evaluation, nursing assessment, community support, individual-group and/or family counseling. The components of the program focus on addictive disease education, mental illness education, social skills, lifestyle changes, vocational skills, relapse prevention and recovery maintenance. The average length of treatment is three to six months; however, treatment plans are individualized and the program length for each person will vary.
Additional Outpatient Programs are the least intensive. Groups are held one day per week at the mental health centers located in Mitchell County, Thomas County, Colquitt County and Decatur County.

WeCovery recognizes individuals with persistent mental illness, chronic substance abuse, and intellectual disabilities. WeCovery is aware that substance abuse disorders are multidimensional and therefore focus on the biopsychosocial model to incorporate skills and supports that are strained due to the individual’s inability to function effectively within their natural environment. Today we know that addiction is a chronic health condition that is preventable and can be treated.
Staff members believe in the dignity and value of each individual. Increasing skill levels and community natural supports will help individuals become more self-sufficient and better prepared to live successfully in the community rather than in an institutional setting. All individuals and families experiencing distress due to mental illness, addictive diseases and/or developmental disabilities will be relieved through interaction with healing community based services.
