The intensive outpatient program consists of individual and group therapy, with modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment theory. Communication and boundary skills education is provided, and mindfulness practices are offered as a key element of the recovery journey.

The course integrates cognitive behavioral therapy principles into its relapse prevention and mindfulness meditation practices. Activities are designed to increase awareness of destructive patterns and triggers and provide clients with the tools they need to support an ongoing recovery. Previous experience with mindfulness is not necessary. All clients must undergo a brief initial interview should they be interested in taking part.
