Our Services

Intensive Outpatient Programs for Adolescents and Adults

Comprehensive outpatient programs designed to help individuals struggling with their mental health and with dependence on substances to break free and live a happier and healthier life.

Our Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program is exclusively designed for teenagers grappling with mental health issues. We employ a diverse range of treatment modalities, including CBT, DBT, Art Therapy, and Equine Therapy experiences, to provide holistic care under our experienced Clinical Psychologist. Parents and caregivers are also a critical component of this program.

Our Adult Intensive Outpatient Program is laser-focused on aiding those struggling with addiction and dual diagnoses. Here the focus is on gaining sobriety and working on an active relapse prevention plan. Unique to our program, clients may engage in an outpatient detox program. Clients in our program who are cleared to do so, may be monitored and allowed to detox on an outpatient basis (outpatient detox is not for everyone, and our physician would need to assess for appropriateness).

Both of these IOPs convene in-person, three days a week, with three-hour sessions each day, right here in Westport, CT. Join us for sessions every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and take the first step toward your journey to recovery.

Outpatient Detoxification

Outpatient detox refers to a structured and supervised treatment program designed to assist individuals in safely withdrawing from drugs and alcohol while living at home or in a supportive environment. It is an alternative to inpatient detoxification, which typically requires individuals to stay in a specialized facility for the duration of their detox process. Outpatient detox requires evaluation by our on-site Medical Director and is not appropriate for everyone.

Medication Management

Meet with one of our psychiatrists for an evaluation and to understand your options. Do you think you might be struggling with a mood disorder such as depression, anxiety or bipolar disorder? Are you addicted to a substance that you need some assistance getting off of? Perhaps you’ve had multiple failed attempts at medications and wish to explore something different. Our team is well equipped to work with you in tackling your biggest concerns.

Individual Therapy

Discover your path to healing and personal growth by engaging in individual therapy sessions. Our dedicated team of experienced clinicians is here to provide you with the support and guidance you need to thrive on your unique journey towards mental well-being.

Weekly Support Groups

Experience the transformative power of clinician-led support groups tailored to each group’s specific needs. Whether you’re a teen navigating the complexities of adolescence; you have ADHD and are seeking strategies for improved executive functioning in our ADHD support group; or you are striving to maintain lasting recovery in our Recovery Maintenance Group (formerly known as Relapse Prevention Group), our skilled clinicians create a safe and supportive environment where you can share, learn, and grow. Join us in these structured sessions to gain valuable insights, build connections, and enhance your journey towards a brighter and more fulfilling future.

ADHD Evaluations

There is growing interest in ADHD testing for both teenagers and adults as people become more aware of what ADHD looks like. Our evaluation process includes a battery of evidence-based assessment measures, including the technology-based QB Test, a diagnostic screening tool that provides objective measurement data regarding one’s ability to concentrate, movement and impulse control. Spread across 4 sessions, these objective and subjective measures inform the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. Our support does not stop there…we also offer the medication management, individual therapy and support groups to help improve one’s overall executive functioning and management of ADHD symptoms. Clients feel well-equipped to manage their ADHD after completing the Elevate Health and Wellness ADHD Evaluation and become empowered to best manage their symptoms in the most well-rounded, holistic way.

TESTIMONIALS

Hear what real clients from Elevate Health and Wellness have to say about their experience with us

I am grateful I found Dr. Elsamra, and honestly, the whole team at Elevate Health. I was desperate for help for quite some-time, and after my experience at two other facilities, I was running out of hope. After my first consultation with Dr. Elsamra, I felt I had found the help I had been searching for. The team produced a well-rounded treatment plan to address several elements in my life, to give me the components I needed to move forward and flourish. Within Elevate Health I am able to not only meet with Dr. Elsamra, but also an individual therapist, a family/marriage counselor, and a small support group. I have found Dr. Elsamra and the team he put together to be thorough, thoughtful, informative, and discreet. Working with an entire team that can collaborate with each other has been essential to my recovery, and I am thankful for each of them.

Not even sure where to start. The IOP program was my first introduction and I couldn’t be happier with the professionalism and courtesy of everyone I met. I was shown a level of respect that I didn’t expect. After leaving the program I have continued to see one of the therapists on a weekly basis for over one year and will continue as long as possible. They all have a hand in my recovery and I owe them a lot.

Dr. E saved my life. I started seeing him without even a roof over my head. Now, I have a job, car, home and feel myself again!! Thank you for being my hero.

This is the first place in 27 years that listened to my symptoms and prescribed medication that CHANGED MY LIFE, in a world where doctors are afraid to prescribe ANYTHING if it poses possible addiction risk, or is a certain class, even if it will help. I feel like I'm living a new life, after 30 years living every day with no urge to keep going. While I am still on the waiting list for talk therapy, I am so happy I found a place that looked at my past experiences and current situation as a whole.

Exceptional doctors and caring staff. I could not be more impressed with the work they do & the dedication they show to helping their patients. Dr. Elsamra is one of the most respected doctors in his field, and he absolutely deserves that level of respect. He is very knowledgeable and does not give up, though he lets patients slip until they take responsibility for their own health and future. He is also brutally honest when he needs to be. I’m not sure if my daughter’s father would be here today if it wasn’t for Dr. Elsamra. I also have tremendous appreciation for the other doctors and staff, because they have helped me find strength, clarity, and stability through a very challenging time in my life. Dr. Elsamra and the doctors at Elevate are also capable of treating patients with very complicated and challenging mental health issues, including dual-diagnosis disorders. Though they are very busy, their team is excellent & worth the wait.

The best mental healthcare I've ever received. From my NP for med management to my therapist, even to the front desk staff -- everyone there makes you feel like they really care and your health is a priority in a nonjudgmental environment. I feel listened to and understood, and my medication is always refilled on time - no chasing down doctors for days for refills or prescription transfers. They're on top of it! They have removed so much stress from my life and changed things for the better.
