Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 10, 2015 -- Promises Treatment Centers, a leader in addiction treatment programs for over 25 years, opens a new intensive outpatient program for adults ages 28 and over. The format allows clients to continue to work, attend school and meet with their individual therapist while developing new recovery skills they can put into practice in their everyday lives.
“Our intensive outpatient program is ideal for those who are new to recovery as well as clients looking for continued support after completing the Promises Malibu® residential treatment or the Professionals Treatment Program,” says SallyAnn Cross, LCSW, Executive Director of the Promises® Professionals Treatment Program and the adult intensive outpatient program.
Using a supportive, group structure, the Promises team helps clients overcome interpersonal, situational, social and psychological barriers to recovery. Clients develop strong therapeutic relationships grounded in truth, respect, balance and acceptance, providing them a safe space to discover their strengths and potential. They also explore skills, practices and traditions that can help lessen the need for substances.
The adult intensive outpatient addiction treatment program is located in Santa Monica, Calif. Groups meet on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Highlights of the program include:
• Licensed addiction specialists

• Dialectical behavior therapy
• Cognitive behavioral therapy
• Self-regulation / stress-reduction training

“We look forward to collaborating with private practitioners in the community to provide individuals struggling with addiction and mental health issues a full spectrum of care,” says Ms. Cross. “Our intensive outpatient group format enhances the work clients are doing in individual therapy with additional training in life skills and relapse prevention.”
