IOP Program Orange County

At Safe and Sound Treatment, we pride ourselves on offering an array of treatment options and evidence-based therapies in our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), designed to address the unique needs and experiences of each individual. Our goal is to empower our clients to achieve long-term recovery. Our Intensive outpatient therapy includes the following modalities:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This is a cornerstone therapy in addiction treatment. CBT helps patients understand the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and learn how to change maladaptive patterns. CBT can be particularly effective in identifying triggers and developing effective coping strategies.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT is used to help patients manage painful emotions and decrease conflict in relationships. It teaches mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is particularly helpful for patients with co-occurring mental health conditions like borderline personality disorder or bipolar disorder.
• Motivational Interviewing: This therapy focuses on resolving ambivalence and inspiring a commitment to change. Motivational interviewing is particularly beneficial for those who are uncertain about starting treatment or maintaining sobriety.
• Family Therapy: Addiction is often referred to as a “family disease” because it affects everyone within the family unit. Family therapy sessions can help mend broken relationships and improve communication, thereby strengthening the patient’s support system.
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR can be particularly effective for those with trauma-related mental health disorders alongside their substance use. The therapy helps to process traumatic memories and reduce their lingering impact, thereby reducing the need to use substances as a coping mechanism.
• Holistic Therapies: We recognize that recovery involves the whole person. Therefore, we incorporate holistic therapies like yoga, meditation, art therapy, and music therapy. These therapeutic methods can reduce stress, increase self-awareness, and enhance overall well-being.
• Group Therapy: Support groups allow patients to connect with others who are navigating similar recovery journeys. Group therapy sessions foster a sense of community and shared understanding, which can be hugely beneficial in reinforcing the commitment to sobriety.
• Relapse Prevention Therapy: This form of cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and preventing high-risk situations for relapse. It provides essential tools and strategies to maintain long-term sobriety.
