In Person IOP in Santa Fe, and Evening IOP Across New Mexico — What Is Intensive Outpatient Treatment?

A structured substance use treatment program that fits around your life.

A structured substance use treatment program that allows you to receive therapy and support while continuing to live at home. IOP provides a higher level of care than traditional outpatient therapy, but does not require 24/7 supervision like inpatient treatment. If you're still weighing whether this is the right level of care, see common signs and how levels of care work.

Two Tracks, One Standard of Care

Whether you join us in person in Santa Fe or online from anywhere in New Mexico, you receive the same structured, evidence-based program — the same group curriculum, the same clinical standards, the same care team approach. The only difference is how you show up.

Our Commitment

A central part of our core mission is to actively support, honor, respect, and encourage all religious perspectives, Native beliefs, and spiritual practices in both group and individual counseling sessions.

The Matrix Model — Our Clinical Approach

Life Healing Center's IOP is built on the Matrix Model, a well-established, evidence-based approach to substance use treatment. It combines cognitive-behavioral strategies, family and social support, relapse prevention skills, and education, all delivered in a structured group format. Group and individual sessions also draw on mindfulness and distress tolerance skills, and incorporate 12-Step concepts for clients who find that framework helpful in their recovery.

What a Week Looks Like

Online and in-person groups run in the evening, so treatment fits around work, school, and family responsibilities. Each week includes group therapy sessions built around the Matrix Model curriculum, with individual check-ins as clinically appropriate.

Psychiatric Support & Co-Occurring Care

Substance use rarely shows up alone. Life Healing Center is built to address co-occurring anxiety, depression, and other mental health needs together with substance use treatment, not in separate silos.

Who This Program Is For

Welcoming All of New Mexico

New Mexico's communities carry centuries of history, culture, and tradition — from ancient pueblos and adobe villages to ranching towns and high-desert crossroads. Life Healing Center welcomes clients from every background and every corner of the state.

All clinical services are provided under Santa Fe Psychotherapy and Consulting, LLC's active New Mexico license.

We are not affiliated with, and have no ownership connection to, the former residential treatment facility that previously operated under the name Life Healing Center at 25 Vista Point Rd in Santa Fe — that facility is permanently closed.
