Who virtual IOP may fit in Oklahoma
An assessment with Stages admissions decides the right level of care. Common situations include:
Oklahomans outside the OKC metro
If getting to Oklahoma City several days a week isn't realistic, online IOP lets you take part from home.
People finishing detox or inpatient care
IOP is often used as aftercare once someone is no longer physically dependent.
Families
Family Matters, listed on the Stages telehealth page, is for people with a loved one who struggles with drugs or alcohol.
Questions to ask yourself
- Is drinking or drug use affecting your work, school, health or relationships?
- Have you tried to cut back or stop and found you couldn't?
- Do you have physical symptoms when you stop? If so, ask about detox before IOP.
- Do you have a safe, substance-free place to live during treatment?
When IOP may not be enough
IOP is outpatient care. Stages does not provide medical detox or residential treatment. Its Oklahoma City program page states that clients must be free from drugs and alcohol from their first session, and that people who have withdrawal symptoms need detox first. If that may apply to you, call admissions to talk through next steps and outside providers. If you're in immediate danger, call 911. For a mental-health or substance-use crisis, call or text 988.
