We are More Connected Than Ever
Online Outpatient
New technology, online communication and a wireless culture have changed the way we interact with one another, but the stress and speed of our modern lifestyle has some drawbacks. We wear ourselves thin trying to keep up and often don’t have time to relax, so our mental and physical health suffers. In addition to the daily pressures we all feel, first responders often have the added burden of trauma to deal with due to the nature of their job, making it even harder to cope. Some turn to alcohol or substance use to deal with the post-traumatic stress, but this is a temporary escape at best, with the potential to develop into an all-consuming addiction. When this happens, it isn’t always easy or possible to put your life on hold to seek help.
To keep up with the changing and dynamic needs of our clients, First Responder Wellness now offers an online intensive outpatient program (IOP) in California. Advances in technology allow us to provide effective, patient-centered care that connects individuals to their wellness team remotely, with online therapy sessions, mental health treatment, chemical dependency education, sober support and more. Our Online IOP is a convenient wellness solution that allows you to get the help you need from the comfort of your home, without sacrificing quality or results.
Is Online IOP Right for Me?
You must be appropriate for this level of care. There are a variety of reasons why an individual might not be able to attend a traditional IOP or residential program, and an online option allows these patients to receive the care they need despite their circumstances. If you cannot commit to on-site care, are unable to travel for treatment, or can’t leave your job and family, our team may recommend an Online IOP so you can begin your wellness and recovery journey. It may also be recommended if you have recently transitioned out of a higher level of care but would still benefit from supportive, ongoing treatment.
Other ideal candidates for Online IOP include:
Cannot take time off from work or family
Don’t live close to a treatment facility
Are taking their first steps toward recovery and wellness
Have a supportive home environment
Getting back on track after a relapse or a slip in mental health
Are highly-motivated to take charge of their recovery
At First Responder Wellness, we recognize that there is no one “right” path to recovery and strive to offer a variety of flexible programming options. Our Online IOP caters to clients with a diverse range of needs to ensure that each individual can heal in a way that works for them.
