Behavioral Support

Behavioral support can be an essential component of an IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) for individuals with substance use disorders or other mental health conditions. At Joyd Wellness, behavioral support involves a combination of different approaches and therapies designed to modify an individual's behavior and teach them new skills to cope with triggers, cravings, and other challenges that may arise during their recovery.

​

Some examples of behavioral support strategies that we use include:

 

1. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): A type of therapy that focuses on modifying negative or unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and replacing them with more positive and adaptive ones.

2. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): A type of therapy that combines elements of CBT with mindfulness practices to help individuals regulate their emotions and improve their interpersonal relationships.

3. Motivational interviewing: A counseling technique designed to help individuals explore and resolve their ambivalence about behavior change and build their motivation to change.

4. Peer support groups: Groups that allow individuals to connect with others going through similar challenges and share their experiences, challenges, and successes.

​

Overall, behavioral support is an essential part of an IOP rehab. It can help individuals develop the skills, strategies, and support they need to achieve their recovery goals and improve their overall quality of life.
