There is not one single addiction treatment that works for everyone every time. At Anchored Tides Recovery, our programs are individually tailored for women who are battling substance abuse whether it’s drugs or alcohol. One therapy with a high success rate is the Intensive Outpatient Program or IOP.

UNDERSTANDING TREATMENT FOR ADDICTION

What Exactly is an Intensive Outpatient Program?

An Intensive Outpatient Program, or IOP, is an addiction treatment program that offers addiction therapy for a client all the while not in a structured environment like rehab. A client in IOP typically visits us several days a week for a few hours at a time. The focus of the therapy is to prevent a substance use relapse and help the client develop coping skills. IOPs are used as front-line therapy for treating some cases of substance abuse and mental disorders. IOP can also be used as an intermediate step in addiction treatment when a client has left a residential program and wants the support offered in an IOP. On the substance abuse care continuum, IOPs offer more care than standard outpatient services, but less care than residential programs.

HOW ADDICTION TREATMENT CAN HELP

What Are the Benefits of Our Intensive Outpatient Program in Orange County?

A client taking part in an IOP is living on their own or at our sober living and can continue to be part of that community while navigating sobriety. A client doesn’t have to leave her family while being treated in an IOP. The client is able to practice new sober behaviors at home. An IOP at Anchored Tides Recovery will include structured therapy time with us each week. That can include individual, group and/or family therapy depending on the client. In addition to providing therapy support, the IOP will include education about substance abuse and mental disorders. The focus of the IOP will be to encourage continued sobriety and prevent relapses. Intensive Outpatient Program therapy can also be in place for a longer amount of time than inpatient care.

Clients in an IOP find it to be a safe and nurturing environment that also includes support from peers. IOPs focus on overall health and wellness that may expose clients to alternative therapies, holistic alternatives, nutrition counseling, and even recreational therapies. The extra hours spent each week in IOP allow clients to learn skills and practice them regularly.

IOP is flexible and may be a good choice for those who cannot put their lives on hold to move into inpatient care. It is also less expensive than entering residential treatment.

THE ANCHORED TIDES DIFFERENCE

An Intensive Outpatient Program Just for Women

At Anchored Tides Recovery, our Intensive outpatient program may be the key to breaking the cycle of addiction in a client who doesn’t need 24-hour residential care. It may also be the step that reinforces recovery in a client who has already completed inpatient substance addiction treatment. Research studies conclude that IOPs are a critical piece of a women’s addiction treatment center because they offer more care than standard outpatient services. Researchers also say there are good outcomes after IOPs with patients eliminating and reducing drug and alcohol use.

YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS HERE.

Nate Lawler

Above Water

Above Water Adventures was created to provide a fun, healthy, and constructive outlet for young adults, corporate employees, and those in early recovery. We strive to facilitate a safe and (often) exhilarating setting to push through boundaries and break down barriers. Recovery is not for the faint of heart, it requires courage, willingness, and an innate desire to change. We’re here to offset some of the inherent weight carried during the initial steps of that journey. Our mission is to bolster support and fellowship — and above all, help clients recognize that adventure, fun, and zest for life starts in recovery — not the other way around.

Macy Miller

Admissions Coordinator

Being the first point of contact for women seeking aftercare for their recovery in alcohol and drug addiction; I am driven & passionate about helping them with their next steps. I have always been passionate about helping others & this position allows me to see those dreams come to life.

You can always find me in nature during my self care time, usually hiking, roller skating by the beach, or surfing the waves. I enjoy music to feed my soul & get grounded. I lead a healthy & holistic way of living that I enjoy sharing with others.

Tonia Stephens

Clinical Director & Clinical Outreach - LCSW

I was born and raised in Orange County, California. I found myself needing substance abuse treatment in 2010. After learning tools of recovery and receiving treatment I was able to go back to school at age 41 and earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Services and a Master’s Degree in Social Work with an emphasis on Community Mental Health from California State University Fullerton. Getting clean and sober opened the door to a life full of opportunity and hope. I am currently pursuing licensure in the State of California to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
I have the unique opportunity to work as an Associate Clinical Social worker in a treatment setting. My role is to assist with helping each Client master Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills that allow them to emotionally regulate, tolerate distress, live a more meaningful life, and improve their ability to effectively communicate. I come alongside the Clients and help them address life issues that range from food assistance, legal matters, tax issues, creating resumes, budgeting, medical and dental appointments, organizing, studying skills, applying to schools, and finding employment. I assist them with integrating their recovery tool belt with the stressors of life in order to set them up for success once they leave treatment.
I wished that I had a social worker when I was in treatment. Some of my most difficult times were trying to take care of anxiety-provoking adult tasks in early sobriety. I am passionate about my role in these human’s lives and I see it as my honor to be part of their brief journey here at Anchored Tides Recovery. I love my job and I love teaching individuals how to be sober, navigate life, and enjoy being themselves maybe for the first time.

Katie van Heerden

Clinical Therapist

I am Katie van Heerden, a licensed marriage and family therapist, currently conducting individual and group therapy at ATR using CBT and EMDR modalities. My passion for working with those struggling with addiction and mental health is a personal one. I, myself, grew up in a family system of addiction and mental health issues with little knowledge of what to do or how to recover. This drove me to further my education in mental health disorders, first by obtaining my BA in psychology from Cal State University Fullerton, then my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. While the knowledge I have obtained in school is extensive, my personal journey through life and all of its struggles have led me to the conclusion that anyone can recover if given 2 things: resources and support. When asked what keeps me going in this field, after 10+ years, I typically respond; “I am merely a farmer. I plant the seeds, nourish when necessary, and give space to allow growth.” Watching clients transform into better versions of themselves is not only rewarding but inspiring. It is a “job” I never take for granted.

Bunny & Murphy

Registered Emotional Support Animals

Bunny is a 3yo male French Bulldog and Murphy is a 6yo female Shiba Inu. Both of these pups have been raised at Anchored Tides and grew up handing out love and support to our clients. They have the wonderful ability to sense when someone needs a little extra love, some playful puppy time, or just a companion to sit and hold space while they are processing something. 

Murphy’s favorite treatment activities are Lunch, Reiki, Process group, and sitting in on individual sessions. Bunny’s favorite activities are Lunch, DBT, and also sitting in on individual sessions. When they aren’t working, Murphy likes to play with her little brother (who is not a support animal), go on hikes, dig holes, sleep and eat. During Bunny’s time off, he likes to destroy squeaky toys, play with his nerf dog gun, and sleep.

They (and we) believe that animals are essential in providing emotional support. Studies have shown that some of the benefits of having an ESA include enhancing calm and relaxation, alleviating loneliness, enhancing social engagement and interaction, normalizing heart rate and blood pressure, and reducing stress, pain, anxiety, and depression. They are an important part of the holistic approach at ATR to make everyone feel loved and comfortable as they walk through their recovery journey.

Becca Edge, CEO/Co-Founder

Rebecca Edge

CEO / Co-Founder

Becca Edge is originally from Birmingham, Alabama. She is no stranger to mental health and substance abuse issues in her family, and she herself also struggled with addiction and moved to California to commit herself to treatment. She has been in long-term recovery since 2010. After much success in the corporate world, Rebecca started a sober living home as a “passion project” to provide women with a safe place as they re-enter the world as sober members of society. She noticed that there weren’t many aftercare programs dedicated to women’s sobriety or supporting them with the various co-occurring disorders that pop up once women are free from drugs and alcohol. So in 2016, Rebecca partnered with Amy to create a safe, therapy-focused place where women can heal from their addictions, trauma, and other issues while growing into who they were always meant to be. Becca is passionate about helping women realize their worth and supporting/helping them navigate the next steps of their lives, all while helping them feel secure on their road to long-term recovery.
