About Zen Institute
The programs are for those who experience high levels of anxiety, depression or are battling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). For those who are struggling with substance use disorders or have a history of chronic relapse, this program is intended for those who lack financial resources for inpatient or cannot leave family for extended periods of time. The sessions vary between group and individual therapy. After completing the 12 sessions at IOP, clients go on to participate in Zen’s aftercare program, which includes 2 sessions per month. Clients can opt to participate in deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS), which can help to alleviate depressive symptoms in many clients.
Zen’s approach to treatment is that the root cause of suffering is negative thoughts, which come from the ego. At Zen, clients learn to connect to and operate from their authentic self, rather than their ego. They learn coping skills like meditation and mindfulness, coping skills for cravings and negative thoughts, and how to express and set boundaries.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Zen Institute provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options
Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.
Zen Institute offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.
The facility utilizes 8 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.
Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Zen Institute works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
