Find Out MoreDeveloped by licensed mental health counselor and certified addiction professional Casey Portner, Counseling of Southwest Florida is now offering an IOP program in Naples called Cypress West Intensive Outpatient. Cypress West Intensive Outpatient (IOP) in Naples provides individualized treatment exclusively for those suffering from substance abuse disorders, as well as co-occurring disorders (a substance abuse disorder coupled with a mental health disorder – also known as dual diagnosis).
Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) are usually recommended through clinical or medical assessments. IOPs are designed to accommodate work and family life by allowing the patient to live at home throughout their treatment. This type of program proves beneficial for our clients because they can learn how to make long term recovery a part of their home life from the start of their recovery process, rather than attempting to introduce their new treatment methods after being away at rehab.
Our program treats only 12 clients at a time, which allows us to provide focused and individualized treatment, customized to the needs and dynamics of the group. Members of our program can feel comfortable working in small groups to gain a deeper understanding of the disease of addiction, learn healthy ways to manage and cope with stress, and increase motivation to live a drug-free life. Members of Cypress West IOP benefit from a positive support group of addiction treatment and mental health professionals, as well as their peers.
Developed by the Founder and Director of Portner Counseling Group and Counseling of Southwest Florida, Casey Portner, Cypress West IOP’s comprehensive clinical model has been effectively guiding treatment for over 17 years. The clinical model directs and guides all aspects of treatment process at Cypress West IOP, from admission to discharge.
Our model allows us to organize the timing and application of effective treatment interventions for substance abuse and mental health disorders. By utilizing proven, evidence based practices that activate and facilitate the change process, our solutions are living skills that are extremely effective in overcoming addictions. Clients can integrate these skills into other aspects of their life to produce positive results all around.
At Cypress West IOP, our addiction treatment professionals believe that understanding your addiction is the first step to overcoming it. We believe that there are excellent solutions and processes available to help someone overcome addiction, but where many treatment providers and community resources fall short is an effective delivery method. Simply treating an addiction without complete explanation and understanding of each aspect involved can delay recovery and increase the chance of relapse.
Knowledge is power. By accurately understanding what is happening to us within an addiction or disorder, we can more effectively identify, accept, and implement recovery solutions that work. Our treatment approach focuses on the biological, psychological, and emotional aspects of addiction and the associated recovery process.
Our model effectively communicates the exact nature of addiction and it's reaching effects to our mind, body, and behavior. Substance abuse chemically alters our brain and body in the following ways:
Each of these changes initiate and perpetuate addiction, and if not addressed and treated correctly, these changes act as barriers and road blocks on the path to recovery. Once the patient understands how the addiction process is effecting their own mind and body, we begin to introduce recovery solutions.
Our model emphasizes the development of a consistent and trusting therapeutic relationship between all members of our team and the patient. We are committed to providing clarity and transparency in the treatment process through the maintenance of an open and honest dialogue with our patients. By emphasizing sensitivity and awareness to the patients point of view and readiness, we can meet the patient where he or she is at and develop a treatment plan based on his or her unique strengths and barriers in all three areas of focus; physiological, psychological, and emotional.
Casey Portner is the founder and clinical director of Cypress IOP, and has dedicated his life to helping those suffering from addiction.

One year ago my life was in what I call shambles, my addiction to alcohol was getting worse. I knew had a problem but didn't want to face it. The day came when I said enough and started looking for a outpatient rehabilitation center. I didn't want a in patient program or any big group sessions. I called cypress west and it was the best call I have ever made. I did a 60 day program and learned a lot about myself and my alcoholism. I would highly recommend them.William Z
IOP at Cypress West means actually putting recovery tools into action everyday. Whether you're in a 28 day inpatient, a 90 day in patient, or leaving an hour-long group meeting, triggers are always there to drink or use. Cypress West's combination of group learning, mandatory drug testing for accountability, and individual therapy helps us in recovery confront the triggers and use the right tools to disarm them.Blaine R
