What Happens at LUNA Evening Online IOP?
The LUNA program follows a three-day intensive outpatient treatment model which includes group therapy sessions online Tuesday to Thursday between 5:30 PM and 8:30 PM.
At the time of intake, a thorough assessment is completed to determine appropriate clinical recommendations. LUNA implements the CAST Alignment Model (CAM) that includes integrated activities, support, and treatment.
CAM is a curriculum of themes that emphasize evidence-based treatment that may include:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Motivational Interviewing
- Mindfulness meditation
- Psychoeducation
LUNA includes participation in group therapy sessions. The treatment program also includes a weekly individual session with a clinician or substance use counselor. Clients are invited to participate in activities and therapeutic homework assignments designed to examine unhealthy beliefs, thoughts, and emotions.
Individuals learn to identify triggers, develop healthy coping skills, and build a relapse prevention plan. An effective aftercare plan is critical to maintaining lifelong recovery and each client puts together and effect discharge plan based on their needs.
LUNA IOP Group Therapy
LUNA IOP group therapy online offers the opportunity for small groups of clients to meet regularly in a safe structured environment where interaction is facilitated by a clinician. While guiding the group in self-discovery, the clinician also encourages group participation.
Many find that interacting in a group setting is more natural than one-on-one counseling and it affords participants the chance to experience empathy for group members and to release the notion that they are alone in their struggles.
Feedback from group members allows for compassion, constructive suggestions, insights, and a sense of camaraderie to develop and aid the healing process.
LUNA IOP Individual Therapy
In addition to group therapy, each client is assigned a primary therapist to meet weekly for a one-on-one session. During these one-on-one sessions, clients have the opportunity to explore more intimate issues and gain insight into action steps to meet the client’s treatment goals.
The primary therapist can also help the client connect with additional services such as a Psychiatrist, Medical Doctor, or other specialists if needed.
At CAST Treatment Centers we believe recovery and healing involve a support system so the client and the primary therapist will also connect with family members or other supportive people that the client would like to involve as appropriate.
