In the case study, the client participated in a four-day intensive outpatient treatment program every six to eight weeks for six months. The client received three to five, 60 to 90 minute individual therapy sessions per day focusing on addiction recovery, coping skills, interpersonal relationships, physiological self-regulation, mind/body integration, and stress management. To augment individual treatment sessions, the client also participated in couples' therapy with his wife to explore how childhood family patterns and destructive coping skills had been recreated in their marriage. The Moonview Model utilizes an integrative family systems approach to include family members and other significant relationships in the therapeutic process.
Upon completion of treatment, the client had achieved and sustained abstinence from alcohol or any other mind-altering substance for six months. He reported much greater energy and sense of well-being, along with a decrease in social anxiety and depression. Additionally, he reported an improved relationship with his wife and daughter and a greater amount of time spent together in both business and recreational activities. Follow-up interviews 30 days and 60 days post-treatment indicated that the client has been able to maintain sobriety and positive emotional outcomes and continues to follow treatment recommendations.

to integrate his mind, body, emotions and spirit and achieve a more
fulfilling quality o
