Program Phases

 
      The BreakAway Intensive Outpatient Program is based on the latest research on addictions. This research has shown that when a person becomes abstinent, his or her brain chemistry undergoes predictable changes. These changes in brain chemistry lead to predictable behaviors on the part of the recovering client. This new, exciting knowledge allows BreakAway's qualified staff to provide a highly structured, yet individually tailored program to meet the various needs of our clients.  
 

PHASE I

      The first phase is designed to assist the newly recovering individual in addressing the needs that arise during the initial three-month phase of recovery. Phase I incorporates the following:  
 
  • Educational lectures
  • Peer groups
  • Multi-family groups
  • Individual sessions (as needed)
  • Attending outside 12-Step meetings
 
      Phase I meets three (3) nights a week, three (3) hours each night and runs approximately 6-8 weeks.  
      Request to advance to Phase II must be done in writing and submitted to the case manager for approval.  
 

PHASE II

      The second phase is designed for the client who has completed Phase I as well as those who have completed an inpatient program. It consists of two (2) nights a week, for three (3) hours each night and runs approximately two to three months. The primary focus of Phase II is two-fold: refinement of acquired recovery skills and relapse prevention. Phase II incorporates the following:  
 
  • Individual sessions
  • Process groups
  • Relapse prevention groups
  • 12-Step groups
  • Multi-family groups
 
      Request to advance to Phase III must be done in writing and submitted to the case manager for approval.  
 

PHASE III

      The third phase is a continuing care program for chemically dependent individuals who have completed the above phases. Phase III meets once a week on Family night. This Phase is designed to assist the recovering person deal more effectively with issues that come up in life.  
 

GRADUATION

      Upon completion of all phases, a request to graduate must be done in writing and submitted to the case manager. The case manager and staff will evaluate the request and give a reply within a week. Graduation is done in Multi-family night.
