IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) provide a structured yet flexible approach to mental health and substance use treatment. Unlike inpatient programs, IOPs allow participants to maintain daily routines—such as work or family responsibilities—while attending multiple therapy sessions each week. At Trinity Behavioral Health, our goal is to deliver a comprehensive continuum of care that addresses the emotional, behavioral, and social facets of recovery. Below, we explore the various therapies you can expect as part of our program.
Together in Healing: Couples Stay and Heal Side by Side
Many treatment centers separate couples during care, but at Trinity Behavioral Health, we believe that healing is more effective when partners support each other. Our together-in-healing model allows couples to room together in a supportive, pet friendly environment. Sharing a room helps foster accountability, reinforces commitment, and allows both partners to progress through similar therapies simultaneously. Research shows that preserving the couple’s bond during treatment can improve communication, reduce feelings of isolation, and strengthen long-term recovery outcomes.
Designated Couples Therapy with Specialized Counselors
In addition to individual sessions, participants in our program receive dedicated couples therapy from a socially designated couples therapist—separate from their individual therapist and individual drug and alcohol counselor. This specialized counselor focuses solely on relationship dynamics, communication patterns, and joint coping strategies. By having distinct professionals for individual and couples therapy, we ensure that each partner’s personal needs are addressed while dedicated attention is given to the pair’s shared challenges and goals.
Core Therapeutic Modalities in IOP
Our IOP framework integrates a range of evidence-based therapies designed to promote self-awareness, skill development, and behavioral change:
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps participants identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, replacing them with healthier cognitions. By practicing new coping strategies in group or individual settings, clients learn to manage anxiety, depression, and cravings effectively. -
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. Through structured skills training and coaching, participants gain tools to navigate intense emotions and reduce self-destructive behaviors. -
Group Therapy
Group sessions offer a supportive community where participants share experiences, provide feedback, and learn from peers. Topics may include relapse prevention, stress management, and communication skills. The group environment reinforces accountability and reduces stigma. -
Family Therapy
Engaging family members in therapy can repair fractured relationships and build a network of support. Sessions focus on educating loved ones about the recovery process, improving family communication, and establishing healthy boundaries. -
Experiential and Creative Therapies
Art therapy, music therapy, and equine-assisted sessions allow clients to express emotions and process trauma nonverbally. Experiential therapies can be particularly powerful for individuals who struggle with traditional talk therapy. -
Psychoeducation Workshops
Educational groups cover topics such as the biology of addiction, mental health disorders, stress management techniques, and nutrition. Knowledge empowers participants to make informed decisions about their health and recovery. -
Relapse Prevention Planning
Participants work with clinicians to identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and create detailed aftercare plans. This proactive approach reduces the likelihood of setbacks during and after program completion. -
Medication Management
For those who benefit from psychiatric medications, our on-site medical team provides regular evaluations, prescription adjustments, and close monitoring to optimize treatment efficacy and safety.
These combined modalities ensure that each participant receives a holistic treatment experience tailored to their unique needs.
Comprehensive Coverage with PPO Insurance Plans
Financial concerns should never be a barrier to receiving quality care. At Trinity Behavioral Health, we accept most PPO insurance plans, and coverage typically includes:
-
Program fees (therapy sessions and group treatments)
-
Room and board during partial hospitalization days
-
Meals designed to support physical and mental well-being
-
Medications prescribed and administered on-site
-
Medical visits and psychiatric evaluations
-
Recreational and sober social activities
Our admissions team works directly with insurance providers to verify benefits, handle pre-authorization, and minimize out-of-pocket expenses. Wherever possible, we also accommodate emotional support animals in our pet friendly facilities to promote comfort and reduce anxiety for clients.
