The 6 week Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Includes

Psychotherapy Sessions

Throughout the course of your program you will have 2 weekly therapy sessions with your primary assigned therapist. During these sessions you will process and receive emotional and mental support. Your primary therapist will serve as the lead clinician during your 6 week program, meaning they will be the point person to discuss questions and concerns related to your program should they arise.

Psycho-Education Sessions

Each week you will have a total of 15 hours of psycho-education, where you will work through Patrick Carnes' Recovery Start Kit under the facilitation of their IOP as well. During this time you will develop daily and weekly skills and rituals to develop the healthy routine necessary in early stages of recovery and to prevent relapse, as well as build supportive relationships to enhance your recovery.

Group Therapy

Each week you will attend one two-hour group therapy session. Group work has been an essential part of addition treatment for decades. In your therapy group you will process with other peers in recovery your process, emotions, and insights, as well as develop supportive relationships essential to long term recovery.

Weekly Progress Check

Once a week you will meet with the IOP Director to review your materials, organize and coordinate any scheduling changes, and address and administrative needs that may arise. These meetings are approximately 30 minutes each week and will make sure your program runs smoothly and efficiently.

Recovery Essentials Intensive Workshop

At some point during your program you will attend a 4 day workshop spread out over a long weekend. During this workshop you will work through our Foundations Curriculum written and developed by Banyan Staff with other peers beginning their recovery and will help you to further build your recovery network of support, develop deeper insights into the root causes of your addiction, and develop tools and skills to support long term recovery as well as help heal your relationship.

Individual Therapy

Has your addictive behavior gotten out of control? Are struggling with pornography use or compulsive sexual behaviors? Is your life in crisis due to the impact of such behaviors?

All of our therapists are trained in using specialized tools and resources to begin healing yourself and your relationships. We often begin with an assessment to determine how far addictive issues may have escalated and work to determine the right level of support for each client to effectively address their concerns.

A good relationship with a therapist trained specially in this area becomes the cornerstone for ongoing work. While facing challenges such as these can be an uncomfortable and painful process, there is often great relief in breaking out of destructive patterns.

Partner Therapy

Have you just discovered your relationship and even your life as a whole is not in the place you once thought it was? Are you struggling with the impact of betrayal and the trauma that it has caused? Do you need help putting the pieces of your life back together?

Working with a therapist that specializes in betrayal trauma can help stabilize things when it feels as if life was just turned upside down. Your therapist will help you navigate the complexities of betrayal in your relationship, empower you to set and hold healthy and appropriate boundaries, and reestablish healthy relationships when appropriate.

Putting the pieces of life back together after betrayal is a delicate process and we understand the kind of support needed not to further the damage and trauma that partners are experiencing. To make an appointment with one of our therapists please reach out to us today.

Group Therapy

By joining a therapy group you will work through issues with others going through similar circumstances and struggles. Not only does group therapy help you realize you are not alone in your struggle, but it will help build your recovery network as you form connections to help you break through patterns of isolation and shame.

When first beginning a group it can be uncomfortable at first, but we often find the discomfort subsides after a session or two. As you begin to form relationships you find that there are others are in the same boat as you. Many clients report that working with a group has been the most rewarding and healing part of their recovery journey.

Trust is paramount to the group process so that every group member can feel safe to share and process. For this reason confidentiality is of the utmost importance and every group member is required to sign a confidentiality agreement.

Betrayal Trauma Intensive

The goal of our Partner’s Intensive is to provide a safe space for healing for women that are in a relationship with a sex addict. This intensive provides a small group environment to help provide community support, a safe space where you can share your story with others, education, resources, and tools for beginning your healing journey from betrayal trauma.

We take a multidimensional partner trauma model approach, recognizing that sex addiction creates a traumatic rupture for partners of sexually addicted men and women. Because of this betrayal trauma, we’ve found that many partners need extra support to help build support and healing.

Some topics included in the partner’s intensive are:

Trauma symptoms
Dealing with the emotional aftershock of discovery and/or disclosure
Understanding betrayal
Examining the impact of sexual betrayal triggers
Building new resources for self-care and safety
Navigating trauma
Understanding sex addiction
Exploring the impact of sex addiction on the body and on sexuality
Identifying patterns of emotional and psychological abuse in the relationship
Healing somatically
Solidifying a new foundation of values
Building healthy boundaries
Creating a vision for self and the relationship

Do you find yourself defensive by your partner’s continued questions about the betrayal? This intensive is designed to better equip you to repair relationships impacted by addiction and betrayal.

In this workshop we explore:

A Betrayal trauma overview that answers the "why’s" to your partner’s trauma, perspective and behaviors
