Clinical Director

7 years at  Santé Center for Healing

When someone first enters treatment, they are rarely ENTIRELY READY to be free from addictive behavior and immediately willing to take a closer look at their shortcomings.

Every moment spent in recovery is an active choice. Going to treatment, getting out of bed each morning, attending and participating in groups, opening up to a therapist, staying sober one day at a time...when these actions are combined they add up to verifiable change. A new life. A better life.

This change also allows for personal growth and acknowledgment of how past destructive behaviors and shortcomings have harmed oneself and others. An individual can take this knowledge and new self-reflection and work to improve all aspects of their life. Everyone has certain damaging behaviors they can work to let go of, such as fear, pride, dishonesty, gluttony, greed, lust, jealousy, willfulness, and anger.

Making the choice to open oneself up to trying to do things in a different way, even when it’s not easy or comfortable is essential to long-term recovery. We are honored and privileged to be a part of someone's journey through treatment and will continue to work with people to change themselves for the better one day at a time, every day as we have for more than 25 years.

"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.

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.

IOP clients meet in issue-specific groups during the program. In addition to those groups, specialty demographic groups also meet on rotation. Those groups include: divorced individuals, parents, women, men, cultural diversity, and LGBTQ+ individuals.

Topics within the IOP program 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.

“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
