Therapeutic Modalities in Our IOP
Our IOP uses a whole-person, holistic approach that includes a variety of evidence-based and holistic group therapies, individual therapy sessions, family involvement, and medication management as needed.
Group Therapy Sessions
The cornerstone of our inpatient and outpatient treatment programs is group therapy. Our sessions consist of small, structured conversations in a supportive environment to help you create powerful coping and life skills.
These talks are led by Master’s-level clinicians with a high level of expertise. They are here to help clients deal with past experiences and manage emotions. Additionally, clients learn mindfulness techniques, relapse prevention methods, and healthy ways to cope with challenges.
Some of the benefits of this therapeutic process may include:
- Increased self-esteem and self-awareness
- Greater emotional regulation
- Improved conflict resolution and communication skills
- Better coping skills
- Heightened sense of meaning and purpose
- Improved mental health
- Greater sense of belonging and acceptance
Individual Therapy Sessions
In our IOP, clients also have individual counseling sessions with a therapist who can address mental health concerns. They work together to understand and manage thoughts and emotions that connect to addictive behaviors.
Our therapists have extensive experience in substance use disorders and addiction recovery. They use therapeutic approaches that include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT, motivational interviewing (MI), trauma-informed therapy, and more.
Family Support and Therapy
Infinite Recovery offers programming for the family members of clients. Family therapy is an invaluable tool that helps repair the damage caused by substance abuse and addiction. When a family system is healthy and able to communicate productively, it can support an individual’s addiction recovery journey.
How Our Austin IOP Supports Long-Term Recovery
IOP is often the next level of care for individuals who have completed inpatient care through detox or a residential program. It offers accountability, resources, a supportive environment, and a sense of community for those who are newly sober. Our IOP in Austin also aids in relapse prevention.
Because substance use disorders are considered chronic diseases, a person is never fully “cured” from addiction. Sobriety is something they must work to maintain for the rest of their lives.
One of the reasons for relapse following addiction treatment is a lack of consistency, support, and resources. A relapse does not mean that treatment has failed. Instead, it might mean there’s a need for different or additional mental health treatment and addiction treatment services.
Clients in an intensive outpatient program meet regularly with addiction specialists and mental health clinicians. They attend group therapy and undergo drug and alcohol testing. This supports them in their transition back to daily life following detox or residential treatment. It also allows them to learn and practice life skills in a safe and supportive environment.
Infinite Recovery’s Continuum of Care
In addition to our outpatient treatment program, Infinite Recovery offers a full continuum of care for those struggling with addiction in the Austin area. We also offer detox, in-person residential treatment (inpatient program), a partial hospitalization program (PHP), and sober living. A full continuum of care keeps clients on a structured, consistent path to recovery.
All of our programs and services are holistic and trauma-informed. We place special emphasis on the spiritual development of our clients using the 12 Steps of recovery. Whole-person and trauma-informed care allows clients to heal from the underlying, root causes of substance abuse or lingering mental health effects of addiction.
