For More Information and to Apply

"The more you have a treatment that can help you become continuously abstinent, the better you do," says Lisa Onken, chief of NIDA's behavioral and integrative treatment branch. "You have to figure out how to be abstinent. You still have cravings. You still have friends offering you drugs. You still have to figure out ways not to use. The longer you are able to do that, the more you are developing skills to help you stay abstinent."

Santé’s intensive outpatient treatment program (IOP) provides real-world exposure, along with critical ongoing structure and support. Each client meets with their masters level primary therapist, who will identify and address treatment goals, provide individual therapy, and assist the client throughout their 16 valuable and formative weeks in IOP.

“IOP is an incredible outlet for individuals, whether it is their highest level of care to date or the next step down in their continuum of care. Not only can individuals engage in trauma processing and continued skill development, they experience triggers in their daily lives while having a group to return to three times a week to process these challenges," says Santé's Assistant Director of Outpatient Services Meredith Sims, MS, NCC, LPC-Associate, Supervised by Lori Martin, MS, LPC-S. "I continuously hear that clients look forward to coming to group because it becomes a huge support and lifeline in their recovery process. I also frequently hear that the transition from residential treatment to daily life is challenging for various reasons and that IOP makes a huge difference in our client’s felt sense of community, accountability, support, and continued growth.”

A study published by National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) offers evidence that longer term treatment equates to better overall addiction recovery and quality of life results. A residential level of care often needs to be a first step on a journey like Santé’s long-term, recovery continuum of care. Clients can then step down from the residential setting into a lower level of care, IOP, which allows them to “do life” while they receive treatment three days or evenings per week and process both trauma and day-to-day challenges.

Clients transition through three phases of their IOP program, driven by how the client is meeting individualized treatment goals, progressing in their recovery, and completing therapeutic assignments. Individual therapy is offered throughout all three phases to help individuals sustain long-term recovery.

In addition to process groups, IOP clients meet in issue-specific “special topic” groups throughout the program. These special topics groups include, but are not limited to: emotions, vulnerability, CBT/DBT skills, communication, loneliness and isolation, resentments and accountability, relapse prevention and triggers, nutrition and healthy living, family systems and roles, community building, grief, control, sober fun, relationships and boundaries, types of recovery meetings, shame and shame resilience, values, identity, self-care and grounding techniques, gratitude, goal setting (SMART), anger, and spirituality.

In addition to those groups, specialty demographic groups also meet on rotation. These groups include: divorced individuals, parents, women, men, cultural diversity, and LGBTQ+ individuals. These groups are aimed to create a safe space for individuals to discuss nuanced, critical demographic-specific topics related to addiction, mental health, and recovery.

“Sante’s IOP and TL program provided a safe place for me to go after inpatient. After leaving a secure environment like inpatient trying to achieve sobriety “on my own” in the real world would have been too daunting without the support I had put in place. After putting so much effort into recovery during inpatient, it would have hurt me immensely to skip out on IOP and TL and risk a relapse. Even though I wanted to put the past behind me and continue on living my life as I was before I got sober, I knew this was impossible. Going to IOP and TL provided me the best opportunity possible to achieve long-term sobriety.” – Marni, Alumni

Step Twelve

“Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.”

As an individual works the 12^t^h Step, the realization comes that they have strength they previously weren’t aware of. Step work leads to a “spiritual awakening” or the understanding that they are “in possession of a degree of honesty, tolerance, unselfishness, peace of mind, and love of which he had thought himself quite incapable.”¹ Once the step is reached, the individual will then go on to share the message, help others, and continue to live each step in all they do.

We can all apply the spirit of the 12^th Step as we look at the close of the year. At this time of year, one is apt to review the past 12 months, what has transpired and where life has led them. Looking at the lessons learned, goals reached, and goals remaining, we determine ways to be of service to others in the upcoming year. Let us celebrate our successes and evaluate our disappointments as we can learn from both.

During the last 26 years, Santé has remained steadfast in our vision to help those struggling with addiction, mental health, and trauma. We have been and will continue to be there for you, your clients and your patients. Let us know how we can help in the New Year and beyond. The Santé family wishes you a wonderful holiday season and an amazing 2023!

You are mission-inspired and results-driven. You chose your profession and calling for all the right reasons. Your work helps people in their most hidden and painful problems every day.

The importance of your work is underscored by how incredibly hard it is. Any given day might bring massive challenges with your clients or patients. Who else is in it for all the right reasons? Who can you trust to work alongside you, providing evidence-based and trauma-resolution care? Who provides the best opportunity for long-term recovery?

Google provides 350,000,000 results when searching “addiction treatment.” This is an overwhelming number of options that you can ascertain for quality, but can your clients or patients?

They look to you to:

Distinguish clinical experience and expertise from nonessential amenities and impersonal call centers;
Connect them to higher levels of care ready for the increasing complexity of their problems and to discover and begin to heal from the root issues underneath, therefore decreasing the likelihood of relapse;
Recognize other facilities may dress the part but lack integrity.

They look to you. And you look to Santé Center for Healing for expertise, integrity and long-term recovery…for all the right reasons.
