High Desert Intensive Outpatient and Comprehensive Community Support Services:
In 2024, Santa Fe Psychotherapy and Consulting (SFPC) began to provide intensive outpatient services these services had been halted in 2019 due to the CoViD-19 Pandemic. After revamping and updating our policies and procedures to better suit the current needs of the community, SFPC reopened and has been serving the needs of the community with intensive and comprehensive care. Our IOP and CCSS programs are accredited through the State of New Mexico and we use the Matrix Model Curriculum as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)to best serve clients in early abstinence from drugs/alcohol, we use the DBT curriculum to serve clients with Severe Mental Illness (SMI). We use advanced drug test to ensure that abstinence from all substances is achieved while in treatment these tests are supervised by registered nurses (RN). Our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) will meet with each client to initially assess the need for medication intervention and then will periodically meet with the client while they are in treatment. The IOP program consists of an intake with a client needing to meet A.S.A.M. placement criteria and then the client would meet once weekly with a therapist and 3-4, 3-hour groups per week. Outside attendance at 12-step meetings at least twice a week is strongly encouraged. Should a client present with needs that are beyond the traditional IOP model a client can be added into our Comprehensive Community Support Services (CCSS) program. This program will allow a client to meet with a Certified Peer Support Worker (CPSW) or Certified Community Support Services (CCSS) worker to help identify and address deficits in housing, educational attainment, employment, navigation of legal services or whatever is most needed. Should a client be dually enrolled (IOP & CCSS) the client would receive a more comprehensive amount of services weekly.
