The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at Seven Hills Hospital in Henderson, Nevada, may be an ideal treatment option for adults who can benefit from step-down support after completing a higher level of care for a mental health disorder or a substance use disorder, which is the clinical term for addiction. Our IOP also serves adults who are stepping up from traditional outpatient services, as well as those who are entering treatment for the first time. Adults who receive treatment at the IOP level typically receive about 15 hours of care each week, including lunch each day. Group therapy is the main method of treatment in our IOP, with each treatment day including multiple groups. During an adult’s time in our IOP, they may participate in trauma groups, process groups, skills groups, and meditation/mindfulness groups. We also offer on-site 12-Step groups, including both Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings, as well as education and support for those who wish to follow the SMART Recovery model.

Anger Management Treatment Centers

How long does therapy take for anger management?

Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.

How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?

Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.

Is there medication for anger management?

Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.

What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
