A True Bridge Between Mental Health & Addiction Recovery

Many clients in SUD programs struggle with underlying mental health issues that remain unresolved. This IOP is designed to address those root causes, bridging the gap between addiction treatment and mental health healing.

By integrating cutting-edge trauma therapy, expressive therapies, and somatic work, this IOP sets a new standard for mental health care. It provides not just symptom relief, but deep, sustainable healing—a critical missing piece in many traditional programs.

Who Will Benefit from the MARC | Mental Health IOP Program?

The MARC | Mental Health IOP is designed for adults seeking intensive support for their mental health in a structured, therapeutic setting.

This program is ideal for individuals who:
Are leaving residential treatment

and need continued structure and support to maintain progress. It serves as a step down from residential treatment, providing ongoing healing and skill-building for those transitioning back into daily life.

Have been working with a therapist and/or psychiatrist for some time

but it has been identified that they need additional support or a step up in clinical support to continue ongoing progress

Struggle with emotional regulation

frequently feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally numb.

Have experienced trauma

(including childhood trauma, relational trauma, or PTSD) and need a safe, structured space to heal.

Have completed SUD treatment

and need continued mental health support to prevent relapse and build emotional resilience.

Feel stuck in traditional outpatient therapy

and want a deeper, more immersive healing process.

Experience persistent anxiety, depression, or distress

Are navigating major life transitions

(such as career changes, loss, relationship struggles, or identity shifts).

Struggle with self-worth, codependency, or relationship patterns

Prefer a holistic, experiential approach

rather than just talk therapy.

This IOP bridges the gap between higher levels of care and independent recovery, ensuring that clients continue to heal, grow, and build resilience in a structured yet supportive environment.

This program is not just about symptom relief—it’s about transforming the way participants relate to themselves, their emotions, and their lives. It is ideal for those who are ready to do the deeper work of healing, with the support of a trauma-informed, integrative approach.
