Evidence-Based Therapies We Use

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to addiction and mental health struggles. Our therapists use CBT techniques to develop practical coping strategies you can apply immediately in real-world situations throughout Los Angeles County.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. This approach is particularly effective for individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions, self-destructive behaviors, or difficulty managing intense emotions.

Trauma-Informed Care

Many individuals struggling with addiction or mental health issues have experienced trauma. Our trauma-informed approach acknowledges the impact of past experiences and integrates healing into every aspect of your outpatient treatment plan.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

When clinically appropriate, we incorporate FDA-approved medications into your treatment plan. MAT helps manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms while you engage in therapy, improving treatment outcomes for opioid and alcohol addiction.

Family Therapy

Addiction and mental health conditions affect entire families. Our family therapy component helps repair relationships, improve communication, establish healthy boundaries, and educate loved ones about recovery.

Staff with Personal Recovery Experience

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does outpatient treatment last?

Most IOP programs last 8-12 weeks, though treatment duration is individualized based on your progress and needs. PHP typically lasts 2-4 weeks before stepping down to IOP. Some individuals continue with standard outpatient therapy for several months after completing intensive programs.

Can I work while in outpatient treatment?

Absolutely. Outpatient programs are specifically designed to accommodate work schedules. We offer morning, afternoon, and evening sessions so you can continue working while receiving treatment in Los Angeles County, CA.

What if I live far from your facilities?

Our Virtual IOP program makes treatment accessible from anywhere in Los Angeles County and throughout California. You’ll receive the same quality care through secure video sessions without the commute.

Will my employer find out?

Your treatment is completely confidential. We never contact employers without your explicit written consent. HIPAA laws and 42 CFR Part 2 regulations strictly protect your privacy. Many clients use FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) to protect their jobs during treatment.

Do you treat both addiction and mental health together?

Yes. Approximately 50% of individuals with substance use disorders also experience mental health conditions. Our dual diagnosis approach treats both simultaneously, addressing the underlying issues that contribute to both conditions.

What if I need detox before starting outpatient treatment?

We can coordinate medical detox services when needed. Safe withdrawal management is essential before beginning outpatient treatment, particularly for alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids. Our admissions team will assess whether detox is necessary and connect you with appropriate services.

Does insurance cover outpatient treatment?

Most insurance plans cover outpatient addiction and mental health treatment. Coverage typically includes assessment, individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and medication management. We verify your specific benefits before you start treatment.

What happens if I relapse during outpatient treatment?

Relapse is sometimes part of the recovery process, not a failure. If you use substances during treatment, we’ll work with you to understand what happened, adjust your treatment plan, and determine whether a higher level of care might be beneficial.

Can my family be involved in my treatment?

Yes. Family therapy and education are important components of our outpatient programs. We offer family sessions, educational workshops, and communication skills training to help rebuild relationships and create healthy support systems.

Do you accept walk-ins or emergency admissions?

For outpatient programs, we typically schedule an initial assessment appointment. However, if you’re in crisis, our admissions team will work quickly to get you assessed and scheduled for treatment as soon as possible, often within 24-48 hours.
