It is all about you! After your intake assessment, you will work with our therapists and counselors to put together a treatment plan with your recovery goals in mind.

Why Should I Choose Intensive Outpatient Treatment?

If you have too many daily responsibilities and commitments, you might feel like you simply will not take days or even weeks away to enter an inpatient treatment program.

Just because you do not have the ability to enter a residential treatment program does not mean that you should not get the help that you need. An intensive outpatient program with a specialized care plan will play a critical role in helping you overcome addiction.

Offering the Level of Care You Need

Many live-in treatments, like inpatient or residential intensive care, will be your solution to the struggle of addiction. If you are suffering, IOP helps you with a high level of care while also keeping you away from any temptations. You also get a break from people who might play a role in your substance misuse or people who regularly sabotage all of your recovery efforts.

You will do what is right for you. Treatment should support your recovery needs and help you make recovery part of your life while you integrate your new tools and mindset into your everyday routine. Whatever you envision, you will achieve the life that you deserve. you will always have transparency into your treatment and care plan, never leaving you or your family in the dark. Every Sana Lake program is centered on you.

Everyone’s recovery journey is different. While you work on getting healthy and finding your balance, you will enjoy a custom-designed recovery program. Your schedule and treatment modalities will be unique to your needs in our IOP. you will collaborate with our wonderful, understanding therapists to design an individualized treatment plan. These plans are generally 8-10 hours of individual and group therapy. you will meet with a compassionate and responsive care team of therapists, doctors, peer recovery support specialists, and other members for 2-3 days every week.

What Programs Are Associated with Intensive Outpatient Treatment?

You will have access to several different types of therapy in our diverse and nurturing intensive outpatient program at Sana Lake. Therapy is one of the best ways for you to overcome an addiction or other behavioral health issue, without having to rely on drugs or medication.

Therapy allows you to talk openly about the issues that trigger negative cycles of behavior. you will also learn ways to live your life without the painful triggers, traumatic responses, and harmful substances that are making you sick. Freedom is possible with compassionate support and guidance from knowledgeable, friendly staff.

The Sana Lake BWC IOP program incorporates the following options:

What are Complementary Therapies?

In addition to individual and group therapy, you will access additional types of therapy that complement, or build on the benefits of both of those types of therapy. These therapies are designed to promote nonverbal ways of healing. They not only make you feel better—they change the way you see yourself and interact with the world, too. Some of the complementary therapies that we offer are:

  • Adventure therapy
  • Art therapy
  • Equine-assisted therapy
  • Music therapy

What is Group Therapy?

Addiction is a lonely disease. Learning to be in a group again and letting other people support you is a powerful tool for growth. Group therapy is an important aspect of our intensive outpatient program. You will find a solid foundation for your recovery in group therapy. Group therapy has been proven to be effective in a variety of ways:

  • It allows you to enhance your communication skills
  • It helps you form new relationships
  • It creates a space for you to share your feelings and experiences with other members who have had similar experiences
  • It reinforces healthy ways of interaction
  • It gives you a safe space to talk
  • It allows therapists and group leaders to guide you and teach important skills
  • It helps you recognize positive recovery behaviors
  • It allows you to practice new methods to deal with addiction

What is Individual Therapy?

While group therapy is a big part of our intensive outpatient treatment program, there is a time to talk in private, too. You might feel supported and safe addressing some things in a one-on-one setting with a trusted therapist. Individual therapy is a great environment to share things about yourself and your situation that you might not feel comfortable talking about in a group setting.

In IOP, you will use individual therapy in addition to group therapy. Your individual therapist will encourage you as you work on your recovery, help you remain persistent on tough days, and abstain from substance use.
