Psychoeducation

Understanding the science and psychological basis of how we sometimes choose drugs and alcohol can help you gain insight into your addiction. We also help educate you on the basic functions of medications used to treat different mental health disorders.

Why Choose The Key IOP

Research has shown that current addiction treatment modalities are broken. Clinics are popping up right and left, boasting massages and fancy organic meals for often overpriced and underwhelming treatments. The financial coverage provided by most insurance companies to support a residential treatment program is either nonexistent or too short in length to be helpful — many cover a maximum of only 28 days. Residential drug and alcohol rehab is not always feasible for everyone looking for help.

In an IOP setting, you have more flexibility and options; you can continue to work or go to school but also have a structured weekly treatment plan that fits your life and needs. The Key IOP is a balanced and reputable outpatient treatment center in Santa Cruz with results that speak for themselves. At The Key, we care about our clients and strive for their success. We are owned and operated by physicians, including a Stanford-trained addiction medicine expert, Dr. Bobby Singh.
