Therapy occurs in multiple formats at Desert Hope and may include:

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy sessions delve into topics that explore your addiction history and other issues, provide you with coping skills to address the addiction, discuss your rehabilitation progress, and help inform aftercare planning and goals.

Group Therapy

Most therapy sessions take place in group settings, which allows you to explore issues and process your recovery in a safe, peer-supported atmosphere. These peer relationships can be beneficial in recovery, helping you feel less isolated and gleaning from the experiences of others who have been in similar shoes.

There are several different groups offered in Desert Hope’s PHP and IOP settings. Process groups, for instance, address your concerns, struggles, and challenges of living with a substance use disorder and maintaining sobriety. Psychoeducational groups may cover a range of topics, including:

• Identifying triggers.
• Aftercare planning.
• Managing life and money.
• Common challenges in recovery.
• Relapse prevention.
• Motivation for recovery.
• 12-Step programs in recovery.

Family Therapy

Family therapy can be an essential part of your recovery, and Desert Hope Outpatient can offer both virtual and in-person therapy sessions as needed. When spouses, partners, family members, children, and other loved ones understand your addiction and can work through it with you, their encouragement and support can positively impact your recovery.

Medical Monitoring

In the PHP, individuals see a medical and psychology provider weekly. In an IOP, medical and psychology providers are seen as needed. Additionally, in the PHP, medical and mental healthcare providers can assess and prescribe medications for addiction treatment. These medications may include Suboxone, naltrexone/Vivitrol, buprenorphine, and more.

Psychoeducation

In therapeutic groups—held in a classroom environment—you learn post-treatment coping skills and strategies to use following the completion of your treatment. These sessions teach you techniques and options for responding to future high-risk situations that could potentially test your sobriety.

Additionally, some of these psychoeducation groups are split up into men’s and women’s groups to help identify topics that may be more specific to one group or the other.

12-Step Programs

Attendance in the 12-Step meetings—such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous—has proven to help people in their recovery. Participation is encouraged as a complement to Desert Hope’s curriculum while you’re in treatment and after treatment, too.

Programs for Veterans and First Responders

The Salute to Recovery program, also referred to as the Battalion group at Desert Hope, is specifically for Veterans and first responders. Process groups for these individuals may address topics that include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), processing trauma, establishing nightmare protocols, transitioning to civilian life, and more.
