What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a series of individual therapy and recovery skills/support groups that meet for nine hours every week (three hours, three times a week). The IOPs at our CODAC at 380 location are for people with substance use disorders (working on recovery from any drugs or alcohol). Any CODAC member with a substance use disorder can participate.

Using Stephanie Covington’s “Helping Women Recover” curriculum, individual therapy and recovery skills/support groups address:

• Trauma and PTSD
• Relapse Prevention
• Substance Use Education
• Co-Occurring Disorders
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Motivational Interviewing
• Family Support & Education

These IOPs meet the requirements from courts, probation and DCS, too.

Members need to choose to participate in either the morning or afternoon session for the whole time they are in the IOP. You can join at any time and will be finished when you meet you goals (typically after at least 16 weeks). This intensive program will really give you a strong foundation in your recovery and for your future!

Stop the Sickness

This year - maybe more than any other year in recent history - it is VERY important for everyone age 6 months or older to get their Flu Shot.

With COVID-19 still spreading, it is important that you protect yourself and others from getting another highly-contagious illness, the Flu. Every year, 200,000 Americans are hospitalized because of the Flu. When you get the flu shot you not only keep yourself and others healthy, but you can also help save health care resources for people who have COVID-19.

Common Questions (& Answers!) About the Flu Shot

Q: Can I get the flu shot and the COVID vaccine at the same time?
A: Yes! It is safe to get the flu shot and the COVID vaccine at the same time. So, if you haven't had your COVID vaccine yet, you can do both at once!! It is also safe to have the flu shot if you have already had your COVID vaccine (in the past).

Q: Should I get the flu shot if I have symptoms of COVID?
A: No. Please do not come to CODAC or get your Flu Shot if you have symptoms of COVID-19 or the Flu. Symptoms include fever or chills, cough, headache, body aches, new loss of taste or smell and more that you can view here.

Q: Is it safe for me to come to CODAC to get the Flu Shot?
A: Yes. All staff and members/guests are required to wear masks and maintain 6' distance while inside the building. CODAC also sanitizes surfaces throughout the day and has wipes and sanitizer available throughout the building.

Q: Does my insurance cover the cost of getting the Flu Shot?
A: Most insurances cover the cost of getting the Flu Shot. If you want to check to be sure before coming in, you can call you insurance or call our Genoa Pharmacy at 520-257-1539.

Q: Can people who aren't CODAC members get the Flu Shot at CODAC?
A: The Genoa Pharmacy may be able to provide Flu Shots to non-CODAC members (like your family and friends). But, it depends on their insurance. Call our Genoa Pharmacy directly to find out: 520-257-1539. $5 Fry's Cards are only available to CODAC members.
