Addiction Recovery and Intensive Outpatient Services
Our Intensive outpatient program “Elemental.Expansive.Evolution.” is a three-pronged program and begins with an intensive 8 weeks of 90-minute groups that focus on psycho-educational content of addiction and recovery and an Eastern medicine approach to detoxification utilizing Tradition Chinese Medicine practices provided by Dr. Lu’s Nourishing Life. Successful completion of the initial 8 weeks will lead to the second and third prong of programming which involves identifying specific problem areas, Men’s and Women’s evidenced-based recovery programming, Seeking Safety programs, and intensive Trauma Recovery psychotherapy utilizing Sensori-motor Psychotherapy and EMDR Therapy. Participants will receive both individual and group therapy sessions, will be encouraged to attend yoga/meditation/mindfulness classes and Forest Bathing Walks, as well as a community CrossFit groups specifically informed to support their recovery. Our program is designed to treat a group of 12 participants successfully through all three prongs.

Program Philosophy
Recovery vs. Abstinence
Karuna North is invested in the real deal of inner transformation. Karuna North strives to foster conditions where a person can heal and be free of addiction. If a person “uses” while in treatment it simply reveals more opportunity for growth. It is, in fact, the natural process of change. The proper conditions for growth are continually assessed and established along the way. Karuna wants people that desire not just sobriety, but a life transformed. The real deal of treatment.
