What Are SAIOP and SACOT?

Both programs involve a combination of individual, group, and family counseling sessions delivered in a supportive, outpatient setting. Treatment is focused on helping individuals achieve abstinence from addictive substances, learn key recovery skills, and build a healthier, more stable future. SAIOP (Substance Abuse Intensive Outpatient Program) A structured program typically meeting several times a week, designed for individuals who are motivated to recover but need more support than standard outpatient therapy can provide. SACOT (Substance Abuse Comprehensive Outpatient Treatment) An extended, high-frequency program ideal for individuals with more severe or long-standing substance use disorders. SACOT includes daily sessions, intensive case management, and comprehensive recovery planning.
