Traditional Outpatient vs. IOP

After intensive outpatient, there is traditional outpatient mental health care. Tennessee mental health IOP is slightly more intense than a traditional outpatient program. With regular outpatient care, you only meet for a few hours per week, usually only one day each week. With an IOP, you still meet a few days per week, and when you meet, you have multiple hours of services to complete including individual and group therapy. Traditional outpatient care starts to shift focus from individual therapy and move toward group therapy, but an IOP still offers a combination of the two.

Sanctuary Mental Health and Wellness can review which level of care might be best for you.

Therapeutic Interventions

Types of Therapies Offered

We offer a diverse array of therapeutic interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and more inpatient treatment facility. Each therapy modality is chosen based on its efficacy and the individual needs of our clients.

Individual Therapy

Treatment for mental health disorders involves a lot of individual psychotherapy, but the type of therapy you receive is based on your situation. You might receive a recommendation for cognitive behavioral therapy or contingency management based on your circumstances.

Individual therapy allows you to work with the same medical professionals throughout your program, get to know them, build trust, and facilitate open discussions about things that may have contributed to or exacerbated your mental health disorder.

Some facilities provide individual and group therapy of the same variety, like participation in individual cognitive behavioral therapy sessions and subsequent group cognitive behavioral therapy sessions. In these circumstances, you focus on individual progress and achievement before bringing those skills and the things you have learned to a group discussion.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is integral to your recovery. Group therapy can help you recognize the consequences of your mental health disorder, physically, emotionally, and socially. Group therapy sessions give you an opportunity to:

  • Meet with other people and avoid feelings of isolation or loneliness
  • Gain mutual support
  • Discuss your struggles in a judgment-free space
  • Build a network of sober friends with whom you can associate after treatment
Medication Management

Medication plays an important role in your recovery when combined with individual and group therapy. Some medications are used during detox to help you overcome your withdrawal symptoms. FDA-approved medications might be used throughout your recovery to decrease addictive behaviors and help you avoid cravings.

If you are struggling with co-occurring mental health disorders like depression or anxiety, medication might be prescribed to treat acute or chronic symptoms while you complete complementary individual and group therapy sessions to give you the skills you need to manage symptoms long-term.
