Level Up IOP: Healing Through Connection, Compassion, and Commitment

Level Up IOP (Intensive Outpatient Programs) is a Utah Family Therapy company that helps individuals who feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges and struggles to find a healthy path forward, whether experiencing with mental health or addiction challenges. 

Thanks to the support and vision of Manny and Mysti Lopez, along with Portia Louder, we have begun working with the incarcerated population to assist them in successfully reintegrating into society.

Multiple Programs for Adults and Teens Struggling with Addiction and Mental Health

In the realm of mental health and addiction treatment, the Level Up Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is hope for individuals seeking to navigate their healing journeys, whether they may be struggling with mental health or addiction challenges.

At the heart of this program lies a commitment to the therapeutic principles of compassion, commitment, and connection, inspired by the foundational values of Utah Family Therapy.

These principles guide the therapeutic process and foster an environment where individuals can thrive and heal, especially when weekly therapy alone is not sufficient.

Our vision is rooted in the belief that true healing begins with connection. 

We are dedicated to helping individuals overcome trauma, rebuild their lives, and find hope in the power of community.

Although the mental health intensive outpatient program has been running for many years, we chose to bring all of our Intensive Outpatient programs under one umbrella, Level Up IOP, which has addiction and mental health IOPs.

The vision for the re-entry and addiction IOP became a reality through the profound collaboration with Manny Lopez, Mysti Lopez, and Portia Louder, whose passion for supporting those coming out of prison or struggling with addiction.

Compassion: The Catalyst for Change

Compassion is the cornerstone of the Level Up IOP programs.

The caring team at Level Up IOP understands that each individual’s journey is unique and shaped by past experiences, trauma, and other challenges.

This understanding is reflected in our approach to therapy, where empathy and kindness create a safe, shame-free, and non-judgmental space for clients (students).

Therapists at Level Up IOP are driven by a genuine desire to care for their students, recognizing that struggles with anxiety, trauma, depression, and addiction can be overwhelming.

By fostering a compassionate environment, students are encouraged to share their experiences openly, allowing compassion to catalyze transformative change.

This nurturing atmosphere builds trust, paving the way for healing and growth.

Commitment: A Steadfast Dedication to Healing

The second therapeutic principle, commitment, is integral to the Level Up IOP.

The team is unwavering in their dedication to the well-being and growth of every client.

This commitment extends beyond the confines of scheduled therapy sessions; it encompasses a holistic approach to support individuals and families throughout their healing journeys.

From the beginning, we knew that healing is not a solitary journey.

It requires understanding, empathy, and the support of others who genuinely care.

Our vision was to create a program where individuals could not only confront their trauma but also connect with others who share similar struggles.

We wanted to offer a safe space where people could rebuild their lives, regain their self-worth, and confidently move forward.

Caring therapists at Level Up IOP recognize that true healing from mental health challenges and addiction requires time, effort, and a steadfast commitment to the therapeutic process.

They are willing to go above and beyond to help students navigate their struggles, ensuring each individual feels supported and valued.

This commitment fosters a sense of security, allowing students to focus on their healing without the fear of judgment or abandonment.

This community has the power to transform lives and inspire hope and thrives on three core principles, strength, honor and commitment.

Become strong and courageous enough to manage life, Honor the person you are becoming with a commitment to stay committed to your path (finishing things you start).

Connection: Building Meaningful Relationships

Connection is the third key principle that underpins the Level Up IOP.

The program acknowledges the profound impact of relationships on mental health and well-being, particularly for those grappling with trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, and addiction.

At Level Up, therapists prioritize building strong connections with their clients, understanding that these relationships can unlock the secrets that keep individuals feeling stuck.

By facilitating meaningful connections, clients can explore their emotions and experiences in a supportive environment.

This connection enhances the therapeutic process and fosters more profound, meaningful relationships between families and peers.

Dual Focus: Mental Health and Addiction IOP

Recognizing that mental health and addiction often intersect, Level Up IOP offers specialized tracks for both mental health and addiction treatment.

For individuals whose struggles with substance use and other addictions are intertwined with mental health issues, this dual focus provides a comprehensive approach to healing.

When weekly therapy is not enough, the Level Up IOP programs are an intensive option that allows students to engage in more frequent and focused therapeutic sessions.

This structure is particularly beneficial for those who require additional support to address the complexities of their mental health and addiction challenges.

Through evidence-based therapies, group sessions, and individualized care plans, clients can work toward recovery in a supportive environment that emphasizes the importance of both mental health and addiction recovery.

This integrated approach ensures that clients receive the tools and resources they need to achieve lasting positive change.

The Level Up IOP Adult Addiction program was created to help fuel the dream of Manny, Mysti, and Portia whom have dedicated their lives to helping those who have been incarcerated find a path back to society.

Their unwavering commitment, coupled with their deep understanding that re-entry is not just about providing resources; it’s about rebuilding lives, restoring dignity, and offering hope. 

Their passion to help others has been instrumental in guiding our approach to trauma-informed care, especially for those who face the daunting task of re-entering society after prison.

Making a Difference A Pathway to Hope and Healing

Level Up IOP is more than just treatment programs; it is a community that instills hope and encourages individuals to make deeper connections with themselves and others.

The program creates a nurturing environment where healing can flourish by weaving together the principles of compassion, commitment, and connection.

As students embark on their journeys, they are met with a caring team that knows their names and understands their unique needs.

The training and expertise of the therapists ensure that each individual receives personalized care tailored to their specific challenges, whether they are related to mental health or addiction.
