Asana Recovery treats a comprehensive range of mental health conditions through outpatient programs designed to fit your life. Whether you’re seeking treatment for a primary mental health condition or addressing mental health alongside substance use recovery, our licensed clinicians deliver evidence-based therapies through individual counseling, group therapy, and structured programs — accessible to LA County residents via Virtual IOP or in person at our Orange County facilities.
When substance use and mental health conditions co-occur — which research from SAMHSA shows happens in roughly half of all cases — treating them separately rarely produces lasting recovery. Asana Recovery’s integrated dual diagnosis approach addresses both conditions simultaneously by the same clinical team, in the same treatment plan, through the same outpatient programs.
This unified approach is delivered through Virtual IOP for California Residents (full access for LA County) or in person at our Orange County outpatient facilities. Coverage for outpatient mental health and substance use treatment is a federal requirement under the Mental Health Parity Act and the Affordable Care Act.
Asana Recovery has helped Southern California residents recover from substance use disorders and mental health conditions since 2017. Whether you’re navigating addiction, depression, anxiety, PTSD, or co-occurring conditions, our outpatient treatment approach lets LA County residents access comprehensive clinical care without uprooting their lives. Our service model fits Los Angeles realities: Virtual IOP delivered to your home anywhere in LA County, or in-person outpatient programs at our Orange County facilities for residents in South LA County areas like Long Beach, Lakewood, Norwalk, Cerritos, and Whittier where OC is a reasonable commute.

At Asana Recovery, we combine proven therapeutic approaches to ensure clients receive the most effective treatment possible for both addiction and mental health conditions. Our evidence-based therapies help uncover the root causes of substance use and mental health challenges while providing tools to build a strong foundation for long-term recovery and wellness — whether delivered in person at our Orange County facilities or through Virtual IOP for California Residents.
Beyond evidence-based clinical therapies, Asana Recovery integrates complementary holistic approaches that support whole-person wellness — physical, emotional, and spiritual. These holistic elements enhance — never replace — our evidence-based treatment foundation, addressing the dimensions of recovery that extend beyond simply managing symptoms.

Our service model is designed around flexibility: whether you choose Virtual IOP for full LA County coverage or in-person programs at our Orange County network, you receive the same evidence-based clinical care under the same expert team.

The clinical care is identical — same evidence-based therapies, same clinical team, same expertise. The difference is access. LA County residents primarily access treatment through Virtual IOP (covering all of LA County) or in-person programs at our Orange County facilities (accessible for South LA County). Orange County residents have direct access to all in-person programs at our Fountain Valley, Costa Mesa, and Huntington Beach facilities. Both pathways share the same clinical excellence, the same Career Development and Academic Pathways specialty programs, and the same integrated dual diagnosis approach.
