What types of mental health issues does True Life Center address?
True Life Center specializes in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, trauma and PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and bipolar disorder. We also work with individuals experiencing stress, burnout, and life transitions.

What types of therapies are offered at True Life Center?
We provide a variety of therapeutic approaches that meet the needs of the whole person. These include evidence-based therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma.

Your customized plan will combine these therapies to foster healing and personal growth.
What qualifications do True Life Center’s staff have?

Our staff members bring diverse expertise in fields such as psychology, psychiatry, and integrative mental health care. Each member is committed to keeping up with the most current advancements in mental health treatment and helping you receive care that’s both evidence-based and supremely supportive.
Does True Life Center accept insurance?
True Life Center works with a variety of insurance providers to help make treatment more accessible. Our admissions team is available to guide you through the insurance verification process, clarify what services are covered under your plan, and discuss any potential out-of-pocket costs. We’re committed to helping you understand your options and remove barriers to care.
What is an intensive outpatient program (IOP)?
An IOP is a treatment solution for people who need more structure in mental health treatment or who are experiencing a co-occurring substance use disorder (SUD). It’s also a good option for those with demanding schedules or responsibilities that won’t allow for full-time residential treatment. True Life’s IOP provides up to 15 hours of individualized, integrative care each week. Additionally, our IOP allows family members to participate in their loved one’s journey. This is a unique feature that is not available in similar programs at other clinics.
What is a partial hospitalization program (PHP)?
A PHP offers a higher level of structure to patient care and can serve as an alternative to hospital admission for those in need of more consistent medical monitoring as they heal or detox from substances. True Life’s PHP provides 20 or more treatment hours each week. Like our IOP, our PHP allows family members to become involved in our patients’ roads to healing.
What are some of the benefits of True Life’s IOP and PHPs versus residential treatment?
Our IOP and PHP have several benefits over residential treatment, including:
- Lower costs
- More flexibility for those with busier schedules
- Freedom to go home when you like
- Unlimited program duration
- One-on-one care that gets to the root of the mental health concern and leads to long-lasting change
At True Life Center, our compassionate, experienced staff members work together to ensure you receive personalized help when you need it. Sometimes, during a residential program, it can be difficult to see a care provider at the time that you prefer, and activities like meal times, mandatory meetings, or group activities can determine your schedule. At True Life Center, we spend every second helping you get better. When you aren’t at True Life, your time is yours.
Additionally, our programs are about a quarter of the cost of an average residential treatment program, and we prioritize helping you balance your treatment with your other life responsibilities.
What support is available if I need help between sessions?
We understand that the healing process isn’t linear, and at times, you may need more support than others. True Life Center provides ongoing assistance so that you never feel alone on your journey. Between sessions, our care team is just a phone call away for guidance or reassurance. Additionally, we equip you with practical tools and coping strategies during treatment to help you manage moments of difficulty with increased confidence.
How do you prepare patients for life after treatment?
True Life Center invests time in helping you learn beneficial coping skills that will guide you through your day-to-day functions once you’ve exited treatment. We also offer an alumni program to help you gain a sense of community and develop meaningful connections that will last a lifetime.
How are families and loved ones included in treatment?
Mental health conditions don’t just affect us. They affect the people around us, including our family members and loved ones. We understand that as you heal, your family must heal as well. To help, True Life Center hosts a monthly family program. Our program invites your family members and loved ones to our center for an afternoon of education and support.
Additionally, we maintain regular communication with your family, keeping them informed of your progress. We also offer family therapy sessions and weekly conference calls.
How long is the program, and what happens after it is completed?
Our patients are scheduled for eight weeks to begin with. Throughout those eight weeks, they have regular meetings with our program director to discuss their progress and make any necessary adjustments to their program for maximum success. After the completion of the eight weeks, patients may continue in the program for as long as they need to.
