Intensive Outpatient Program

Our IOP incorporates a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities to address the unique needs of each client. These include:

1. Mindfulness-Based Sobriety:

Mindfulness-based approaches help clients develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. By practicing mindfulness, clients learn to respond to stressors and triggers in a calm and measured way, reducing the risk of relapse and improving emotional regulation.

2. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):

CBT is a widely used therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. In the IOP, CBT helps clients recognize the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and actions, and empowers them to develop healthier, more adaptive ways of thinking and behaving.

3. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT):

DBT is particularly effective for individuals struggling with intense emotions, self-harm, or suicidal ideation. It combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help clients build skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.

4. Seeking Safety:

Seeking Safety is an evidence-based model that is designed to help individuals who have experienced trauma and are struggling with substance use disorders. The approach focuses on developing coping skills to manage both trauma and addiction without delving deeply into the trauma narrative, making it a safe and supportive option for many clients.

5. Gestalt Therapy:

Gestalt therapy emphasizes personal responsibility and focuses on the here-and-now experience of the client. It encourages clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in the present moment, helping them to gain insight into how they interact with the world and how they can make positive changes.

6. Trauma-Informed Care:

Our IOP is grounded in the principles of trauma-informed care, which means that we recognize and respond to the impact of trauma on our clients’ lives. We strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel empowered and respected, and where their trauma is addressed in a sensitive and compassionate manner.

7. Incorporation of Restorative Yoga:

In addition to the core therapeutic modalities, our IOP also incorporates restorative yoga as a complementary practice. Restorative yoga is a gentle, therapeutic form of yoga that helps to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. It is particularly beneficial for individuals in recovery, as it supports both physical and emotional healing.

During IOP sessions, clients have the opportunity to participate in restorative yoga classes that are specifically tailored to their needs. These classes are designed to help clients reconnect with their bodies, release tension, and develop a greater sense of inner peace. The integration of yoga into the IOP provides clients with additional tools for managing stress and supporting their overall well-being.

8. Support and Accountability:

One of the key benefits of the IOP at Adira Health & Wellness is the sense of community and support that it provides. Group therapy sessions offer clients the opportunity to connect with others who are facing similar challenges, share their experiences, and offer mutual support. This sense of community is crucial for building resilience and staying committed to recovery.

In addition to group therapy, each client in the IOP has regular individual therapy sessions with their assigned therapist. These one-on-one sessions allow for personalized attention and deeper exploration of the client’s unique challenges and goals. The therapist works closely with the client to develop a tailored treatment plan and provides ongoing support and guidance throughout the program.

The IOP also emphasizes accountability. Clients are encouraged to set goals for their recovery and to take an active role in their treatment. Regular check-ins with the therapist and group members help to keep clients on track and motivated to achieve their goals.

9. Family Involvement:

At Adira Health & Wellness, we understand that recovery is not just an individual journey—it often involves the support and involvement of loved ones. Our IOP includes family therapy sessions, where appropriate, to help clients and their families work together towards recovery. Family therapy can be an essential component of the healing process, as it addresses communication issues, resolves conflicts, and strengthens the support system that is crucial for lasting recovery.
