Treating Chemical Dependency in Richmond, KY

CDIOP is the chemical dependency intensive outpatient program. We're a group that meets here on the hospital campus to provide support for individuals in early recovery. In our group, we learn about what addiction is, we learn about relapse prevention skills, and we support one another in the journey of early recovery.

Addiction is a very complex medical disease, therefore, we believe that it needs to be treated as such. We're gonna provide individual therapy. We're gonna provide case management services, medication management services as well, as well as family support to provide support for the families, trying to support their loved one in early recovery. All of us have been impacted by addiction in one way or the other, so it's important to have an education to really end the stigma for addiction.

One thing about our group that is really unique is we try to empower our patients to build confidence in their recovery journey, but to also educate others on what addiction is and how to best support them on their recovery journey. So when we think about addiction, we have to remember that addiction really is a life and death situation. We've all seen the statistics on the news, and these are individuals that are fighting for their life. So they're gonna need, you know, complex supports like we offer here at the hospital to rebuild their lifestyle and go on and really do, great things out in the community, achieve their goals that they've always wanted to achieve.
