Iris Healing Center

Who is this facility a good fit for?

• Best fit if: Adults who are looking for longer-term recovery; want access to multiple levels of care without changing providers; want a small treatment environment as opposed to a large campus; have co-occurring mental health concerns and want access to integrated psychiatric care; are interested in evidence-based and holistic programming; have families wanting to stay involved through visitation and communication; value a structured daily routine and scheduled downtime.

• Not a fit if: Adults who are looking for a large residential community; want a self-directed treatment experience; seeking an entirely non-spiritual treatment experience; want a short detox stay without step-down care.

What to expect

Developing your care plan

• Comprehensive assessment: Prior to treatment, clients undergo an in-depth psychiatric evaluation and clinical assessment. Clients in need of medically supervised detox will begin treatment for withdrawal management. The outcome of these assessments will guide a personalized care plan.
• Planning for long-term recovery: Care plans are intended to support a client's entire recovery journey, including where they live after treatment, work, and family obligations, and whether PHP or supportive housing are recommended.

Who you will meet with

• Clinical treatment team: Clinicians may include physician-led detox staff, a psychiatrist for medication management and psychiatric care, a primary therapist who develops and guides a client's personalized care plan, and group therapists who lead process and recovery skills groups.
• Holistic wellness and recovery support: Holistic wellness facilitators lead experiential therapies intended to support emotional and physical well-being. Clients may also work with yoga instructors during mindfulness, breathwork, and meditation.

Typical schedule

• Morning and midday: Mornings start off with spiritual reflections, a discussion of The Four Agreements, and gong meditation before breakfast. Clients then take part in a process group and recovery skills groups. During the day, clients attend individual therapy, complete clinical assignments, and break for lunch.
• Afternoon and evenings: Afternoon programming may include experiential therapy, somatic groups, yoga, and art therapy. Evenings include dinner, followed by either a 12-Step or Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting by a fire. Clients then have time to read, watch movies or television, and wind down before lights out at 10:30 p.m.
• Evidence-based and holistic therapies: Clients may take part in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), neurofeedback, sound bath healing, and other holistic and evidence-based approaches. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) may be available during outpatient care, if determined to be clinically appropriate.
• Family involvement: Family can stay connected through weekend visitation, typically on Saturdays. Phones and other personal electronics are permitted on a limited basis to facilitate communication as well.

Living experiences and amenities

• Residential setting and amenities: Clients share two-person bedrooms in a comfort-focused, home-like setting with chef-prepared meals. The environment is intended to be peaceful, and a pool is available for recreational downtime.

Aftercare

• Continuum of care: Step-down care is available after residential treatment through PHP, IOP, outpatient treatment, and continuing care with the same therapist and psychiatrist.
• Transition planning: Depending on a client's needs, they may transition to supportive housing, recovery communities, wellness-focused coaching, support groups, or other community resources.

Pre-admissions experience

The admissions representative at Iris Healing Center was friendly, responsive, and transparent about pricing. While the conversation focused primarily on the admissions process, they encouraged follow-up questions with the clinical team for more detailed information.
