Services
Intensive Outpatient Program
Our Intensive Outpatient Programs provide structured, evidence-based care for addiction and mental health disorders. Clients engage in multiple weekly therapy sessions while maintaining daily responsibilities. Pathos Mental Health IOP addresses mood disorders and trauma, while Prairie Substance Use IOP focuses on long-term recovery from substance abuse through comprehensive curriculum and relapse prevention strategies.
Mental Health Treatment
We treat anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD through individual and group therapy. Our trauma-informed approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy with psychodynamic techniques. Specialized programs address co-occurring disorders, offering integrated care for clients with complex mental health needs and substance use challenges.
Addiction Treatment
Comprehensive addiction treatment includes detox support, medication-assisted treatment, and relapse prevention. We specialize in opioid, alcohol, methamphetamine, and prescription drug addiction. Our programs incorporate family therapy and 12-step facilitation, with dedicated tracks for clients who have not succeeded in previous treatment attempts.
Couples Therapy
Specialized couples therapy addresses relationship challenges exacerbated by mental health or addiction issues. Our therapists use behavioral couples therapy techniques to improve communication, rebuild trust, and develop mutual support strategies. Sessions integrate both individual and joint treatment components within our broader recovery programs.
Group Therapy
We offer structured group therapy sessions for substance use, mental health, and dual diagnosis. LGBTQ+-inclusive groups and specialized tracks for men, women, and non-binary individuals create safe spaces for shared experiences. Groups meet 1-2 times weekly with options for participation separate from our IOP programs.

Therapy program is pretty good. Quality of therapists varies widely, however, so do research before you accept assignment of a therapaist. Some appear very inexperienced. Also, be very careful and do not pay full amount of therapy up front. I have received several thousands of dollars of reimburesement from my insurance company after paying the full amount up front and I have still not been able to get reimbursement from Lovett even though I have competed the program several weeks ago. It is impossible to even get a straight answer from their administration department.

I have a very insightful therapist (Jackie Perin) who has made more progress with me in 3 sessions than my previous therapist did in 6 months. The building is beautiful, the experience is high-class, and the sessions are affordable without insurance. I only occasionally have issues with finding parking in their dedicated lot, but there is plenty of free street parking and a complimentary valet service during busier hours.

Impeccable facility and convenient location. Parking isn't horrible - there is street parking and a mid-sized lot. Careful with the street parking some places give tickets. We have a group that meets here weekly and our payment monthly is very affordable! We meet on the second floor past the library (which is lined with books, decorated supremely and always serene) Outside our meeting windows are gorgeous trees and near our room are two clean bathrooms. What more do you want ?! I can't speak for anything other than meeting settings - I have not seen a therapist at this location.

This place is trying to rob people blind. Its $17,500 for an outpatient program. Its complete insanity.

The Lovett Center is an incredible place. I am familiar with a few of the professionals there and can honestly say they are extremely dedicated to the work that they do. Xavier takes extremely great care of the facility and professionals like Robert, Julie, and Becca are incredible. I am very grateful for this establishment and recommend it to anybody looking for therapeutic help.

The Lovett Center is a much needed addition to the mental health and addiction recovery community. It exemplifies the qualities needed to effectively and genuinely treat those battling mental illnesses and addictions. I have been attending this facility for 3 years for personal therapy and throughout that time have also been to several groups. When I first started coming here I was lost, scared, and didn't know where to turn. The whole staff, from reception to the professionals, made me feel like I belonged and was now in a safe place to begin the process of treatment and recovery. The Lovett
