Internal Family Systems For Addiction Therapy And Mental Health Treatment
At Sabino Recovery, we offer an upscale, integrative program for both addiction treatment and mental health recovery. Our trauma-centered approach addresses the root causes of mental health disorders and addiction, helping you or your loved one achieve lasting change. By blending naturopathic and allopathic medicine with evidence-based therapies like Internal Family Systems (IFS), we support recovery from mental health conditions and addiction.
Our IFS therapy, in particular, helps individuals understand and heal from painful experiences by working with the different “parts” of the mind. This holistic approach promotes emotional balance, growth, and long-term healing.
What is Internal Family Systems (IFS)?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a distinct therapeutic approach developed by Richard Schwartz in the 1980s. The internal family systems model aims to help individuals understand and heal from painful experiences, such as sexual trauma or other deep-rooted issues.
In IFS, the belief is that your mind consists of multiple “parts” or sub-personalities, each with its own needs and agendas. By understanding these parts and their intricate relationships, you can achieve both emotional balance and personal growth.
The IFS process involves identifying and engaging with your various parts, promoting compassion and trust within your internal system. This approach can be particularly beneficial for those struggling with mental health challenges, as it can uncover underlying causes and address self-destructive patterns.
IFS therapy offers a unique and effective method for healing from mental health disorders, trauma, and other emotional struggles.

I am so happy that I chose Sabino to begin my recovery. I have suffered for years from depression, anxiety, panic disorder, and PTSD.

The program at Sabino Recovery works! I emerged from an accumulation of unrecognized emotions, issues of trust, and unresolved grief and loss. 35-days of effective integration of customized quality therapy reconnected my mind, body, spirit, and I am worth it! I had masked emotions and hurtful events for decades with alcohol. At Sabino Recovery I safely focused deep within to unleash harmful secrets and self-degradation. Tools of recovery were practiced, not just presented. Integrative therapies were tailored to my circumstances, thus were effective. This residential program is like no other. For me, Sabino Recovery delivered what was professed. I am forever grateful for this gift of healing.

It was great to begin my recovery in a group environment with so many knowledgeable nurses, therapists, BHT’s, and others around for support. The equine therapy, challenge course, family week, and daily therapies all work together seamlessly, allowing me to leave Sabino as a healthier and stronger person!
Benefits of IFS Therapy for Mental Health Disorders
For those with mental health disorders, IFS can offer numerous benefits, such as:
- Self-awareness and Understanding: IFS helps individuals recognize and understand their various parts, especially those that contribute to mental health challenges.
- Healing Trauma: Many mental health disorders are associated with past traumas. IFS helps clients access and heal these traumatic memories in a safe and supportive environment.
- Restoring Autonomy: By understanding and negotiating with the parts that drive mental illness, individuals can regain control over their choices and actions.
- Improving Relationships: As individuals understand their own parts, they may also develop a better understanding of the behaviors and reactions of others, leading to improved interpersonal relationships.
- Building Resilience: By developing a strong sense of the “Self” (a core, confident, compassionate self), people can better recover from the impact of mental health challenges.
- Emotional Regulation: Recognizing and addressing the parts that carry intense emotions, like the inner critic, can help individuals regulate these emotions more effectively, reducing the need to numb them with substances.
- Long-term Recovery: By addressing the root causes of mental health disorders in the healing process and not just the symptoms, IFS can support long-term recovery and reduce the risk of relapse.
- Self Leadership: Patients often feel empowered as they understand that they can heal and change from within without solely relying on external factors.
