"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. “Through individualized care, Santé’s IOP is designed to develop and implement essential skills of daily recovery while providing the time and attention needed to address the underlying influences of addiction, including traumas, psychosocial factors and mental health disorders,” said Santé’s Director of Outpatient Programming Adam Karazuba, MSW, LMSW. He also shared that, “Group therapy allows for patients to grow their emotional literacy, increase distress tolerance and find safety in vulnerability, as Santé’s program is based on a culture of accountability, community and acceptance.”

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 needs to be a first step on a journey like Santé’s long-term, recovery continuum of care where can transition from a residential setting into a more “in life” treatment approach.

Clients transition through each phase of their IOP program three night per week, driven by how the client is meeting individualized treatment goals, progressing in one’s own recovery and completion of therapeutic assignments. Programs are also available via Zoom and and during the day. Individual therapy is spread throughout all phases. The goal remains long-term 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

We love the relationship we have with our Alumni. It is an honor and joy to celebrate in their successes and to stand by them in hardships. Here is some of what they have recently shared.

“As the pain subsides, a healing tranquility takes its place. And when humility and serenity are so combined, something else of great moment is apt to occur.” Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, Alcoholics Anonymous World Services.

The Rip Corley & Santé Center for Healing Scholarship

Monica is from Weatherford, TX. She is pursing a degree to be Human Service Provider and to be a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor at Weatherford College. Monica shared, "When I decided to enter the world of recovery, I had no idea the mental challenges and guilt that would follow. I felt tremendous guilt and regret for a long time after realizing the horrible things I had put my body through, my family through, my friends, and most of all myself. I realized right then I needed to make "right" all the wrongs I had created through self-destruction for many, many years. I decided to enter college. I wanted to acquire my License Chemical Dependency certificate so that I could help others with spreading hope and helping them realize that there is a wonderful life after recovery. I wanted them to see that if I could do it, so could they. After completing the program, I decided I wanted to do more. So, I decided to continue with college and go as far as I can. I am now on my second year, half-way to graduating with my associate degree in Social Work. Not only do I want help addicts but I also want to be an advocate for those less fortunate. I have decided to further my studies by continuing with college for my bachelor's degree in Social Work."
