Pine Grove Behavioral Health & Addiction Services is now accepting Mississippi Medicaid for its evening Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program (IOP) for alcohol and drug addiction treatment.

Pine Grove’s IOP is a 10-week long program that offers a lower level-of-care for the primary treatment of substance abuse disorders in men and women. Participation in the IOP program is based on an individual’s need for a less restrictive environment where medical assisted detox and residential treatment are not indicated. IOP enables individuals seeking recovery to participate in a part-time, intensive schedule designed to accommodate work and family life. The group therapy sessions meet for three hours, three times per week. In short, you can begin the healing work of recovery, rebuild your personal life, and learn valuable skills for lasting sobriety right here in the Pine belt.

This program includes group sessions, weekly individual therapy sessions, and medication management. Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) evening groups are offered from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Patients do need to attend the program on location, in-person. The evening IOP sessions are held on Pine Grove’s main Hattiesburg campus, located at 2255 Broadway Drive, Hattiesburg, MS. 39402. Telehealth is not included regarding the MS Medicaid acceptance.

Daytime IOP is not currently eligible for Medicaid, and remains an excellent option for patients with commercial insurance. Sessions are offered during the day from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. 

Patients interested in either one of Pine Grove’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) groups may call the National Service Center for an initial assessment at 1-888-574-HOPE (4673).
