Sunspire Health: Desert Palms Outpatient

The Basics

The behavioral health network Sunspire Health is headquartered in New Jersey, and includes treatment centers in California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Oregon, South Carolina and Texas. The Sunspire California location is called Desert Palms, located in Cathedral City, two hours east of Los Angeles in the Coachella Valley.

The residential program offers detox and treatment for addiction and co-occurring disorders and the location recently expanded its services to include a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and basic outpatient treatment. Programs employ evidence-based methods, experiential therapy and abstinence. It also offers Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and a special track for LGBT clientele.

Treatment and Staff

The outpatient tracks are suited for clients who prefer to live at home during treatment or who have completed the residential program. The PHP runs Monday through Friday for six hours a day and includes group and individual therapy. After about two weeks, clients usually step down to the IOP level, which is a 10-week program that entails 12 to 15 hours a week of group therapy and individual sessions. Clients also attend off-site AA/NA or SMART Recovery meetings. The basic outpatient phase of treatment can last four to eight months, depending on the client’s individualized treatment plan and progress. It includes one weekly group session and individual therapy once a month, urinalysis and attendance at self-help groups is mandatory.

Therapy employs evidence-based practices, such as CBT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Groups cover interpersonal skills, coping mechanisms, shame reduction, grief and loss, spirituality, relapse prevention, self-esteem work, co-dependency, relationships and healthy boundaries and anger management. Psychoeducation classes are also offered.

There are 32 staff members at Desert Palms, including an MD, psychiatrist, nursing staff, MFTs, CADCs, techs and holistic practitioners.

Extras

Clients can schedule attendance at on-site guided meditation sessions, yoga and Tai Chi as part of their treatment program.

Family therapy sessions are included to encourage the rebuilding of strained relationships.

In Summary

Desert Palms outpatient programs are a great option for clients leaving residential care or seeking a structured program while living at home. With evidence-based treatment, alternative therapies, qualified professionals and the benefit of a huge network that can offer access to a wide variety of services around the country, this is an excellent option for those seeking treatment in the Palm Springs area.
