Addiction is defined as a state of periodic or chronic intoxication produced by the repeated consumption of a drug or the practice of a harmful activity.

 Servicing the community for more than 20 years, Addiction Outreach Program (AOP) is a private non-profit organization which provides Intensive outpatient therapeutic and practical services for individuals suffering from drugs, alcohol and gambling addictions. AOP intensive outpatient Clinic is geared for men and women 15 and over who wish to stop using drugs, alcohol, or gambling but are unable to do so without help. Even though these individuals are motivated functioning (or were functioning until recently) and highly intelligent, they are unable to stop their self destructive behaviors. AOP proposes a dynamic therapy which takes into account the specific needs and reality of this type of individuals, by offering a 3 to 6 month intensive outpatient program followed by an aftercare period during which the individual reintegrates gradually into society. Unlike the individuals who enter inpatient residential facilities where they are isolated from reality, AOP intensive outpatient program empowers the individual to face reality on a day to day basis. 

 A wide range of services are provided by certified professional counselors in order to meet the specific needs of each individual;

• Prevention and education sessions

• Relapse prevention coaching, anger management, self-esteem workshops, etc.
