Whole-person recovery, close to home

The Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program (IOP) concurrently treats a wide variety of co-occurring mental health issues and is facilitated by master’s-level clinicians. They work in partnership with psychiatric prescribers, naturopathic providers, and mindfulness-minded practitioners, rendering holistic on-site services to our clients.

This locally owned and operated outpatient program allows patients to maintain employment while they seek recovery in their own community.

Body, mind, and spirit

We honor the physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional aspects of addiction and mental health by integrating an array of evidence-based substance use disorder treatments. We integrate the important individual spiritual values of our clients into the treatment process, because growing the spiritual self is key to long-term recovery.

How the program works

Phase I

Intensive treatment

8 weeks

Education on the disease of addiction and self-discovery through group and individual therapy with master’s-level clinicians.

  • Three 3-hour groups each week: 1 hour of psychoeducation, 50 minutes of meditation or yoga, and 1.5 hours of group therapy
  • One evening each week with a naturopathic doctor
  • One individual psychotherapy session each week

Phase II

Step-down and relapse prevention

4 weeks

A less intensive phase focused on relapse prevention, continued spiritual growth, and full integration into 12-step recovery.

  • One group therapy session each week
  • One individual session each week
  • Eligible to attend the free continuing care group

The goal is to integrate each patient back into the community and family to increase the likelihood of sustained recovery.

Phase III

Continuing care and graduation

Long term

A low-intensity phase where graduates attend one free continuing care group per week for ongoing support in recovery.

If a patient has difficulty in this phase, they can move back to Phase I or II for more structured and frequent support.
