Women’s Trauma Recovery Programs

Monima offers two outpatient treatment program options for clients coping with the challenges associated with trauma . Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provide two distinct levels of care so each client receives the support they need.

The Difference Between IOP and PHP

The key differentiator between PHP and IOP is the amount of time clients spend per week engaging in therapy and with our medical providers. PHP and IOP have been intentionally designed to offer two distinct levels of care that address the various medical, physical, emotional, and psychological needs of each individual.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for Trauma

Monima’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) was built for women seeking part-time treatment for trauma related challenges. IOP is designed specifically for women ready for a level of support above traditional weekly therapy, or as a stepping stone between a full-time recovery program — such as PHP or residential treatment — and returning to their daily routines full-time. Clients in the IOP program receive 9-15 hours of therapeutic engagement per week.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for Trauma

Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the highest level of care for those impacted by trauma or having difficulty processing trauma. Oftentimes, the impact of trauma has begun to interfere with daily life and symptoms persist despite therapy or medication. Most clients take a leave of absence from work, school, or daily routines to fully commit themselves to the program. While in PHP, clients will be engaged in group and individual therapy for up to six hours a day, five days a week.

Monima has partnered with Ohana Recovery Residences to provide optional safe housing for women enrolled in Monima Wellness outpatient programs. Women who stay at Ohana experience an immersive, supportive recovery environment with a like-minded female community.

What are the two main recommended treatments for trauma?

The two main treatments for trauma are CBT and EMDR.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective and recommended treatment options for trauma. CBT stands for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It is a widely recognized and evidence-based form of psychotherapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CBT aims to help individuals identify and modify unhelpful or negative patterns of thinking and behavior in order to alleviate psychological distress and improve overall well-being.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is another highly recommended treatment option for clients dealing with trauma. It is a psychotherapy approach that was originally developed to help individuals process traumatic memories and alleviate the distressing symptoms associated with trauma. EMDR has since been expanded to address various other mental health conditions and life experiences.
