Alpas Wellness

Alpas Wellness offers day treatment (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) in Sterling, Virginia that help clients practice recovery skills in real-world settings while receiving consistent clinical support and accountability. Their structured programs deliver intensive treatment while allowing clients to return home each evening. Programs address both substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders through personalized treatment plans customized for each client’s recovery needs.

Address Multiple Dimensions of Recovery

Alpas Wellness integrates evidence-based approaches with holistic practices in each client’s plan, including:

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to break the cycle between thoughts, feelings, and substance-seeking behaviors
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to build emotional regulation skills
• Motivational interviewing to help clients identify their reasons for change and celebrate progress
• Experiential activities that access insights not easily reached through traditional talk therapy.

They also incorporate relapse prevention strategies and 12-Step principles.

Accelerate Progress in Day Treatment

Alpas Wellness’s day treatment typically involves 5–7 hours of daily treatment for 5–7 days per week. The structured schedule fills gaps where cravings and triggers might derail progress, keeping clients engaged in recovery-focused activities throughout the day. Each evening becomes an opportunity to practice new skills at home, then process their experiences with clinicians the following day. This cycle accelerates skill development and confidence building while connecting with peers who face similar challenges and share recovery goals.

Strengthen Skills in 8–12 Weeks in IOP

Alpas Wellness’s intensive outpatient program offers flexible therapeutic support through multiple weekly sessions totaling 9–12 hours, typically spread across 3 days. The program addresses both substance use and mental health disorders through evidence-based therapies, group sessions, and individual counseling. Clients follow a structured curriculum focused on relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and practical life skills within Alpas’s nature-inspired environment designed to promote calm and connection.
