Virtual IOP in California:
Online Rehab for Substance Abuse
& Mental Health
What Is a Virtual IOP Program?
A Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a structured form of addiction and mental health treatment delivered entirely online. Designed for individuals struggling with mild to moderate substance use or co-occurring disorders like anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder, virtual IOP offers the flexibility to receive professional care without stepping foot in a facility.
Patients attend live, therapist-led group and individual sessions through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform—typically for three hours a day, several days a week. This model makes recovery more accessible for those balancing work, school, or family commitments. Asana Recovery’s virtual outpatient rehab is available exclusively to residents of California and provides the same compassionate, evidence-based support as our in-person programs—right from the comfort of home.

We commonly treat patients who are stepping down from residential treatment or partial hospitalization (PHP) and still require accountability, therapy, and relapse prevention. Many participants are working professionals with private insurance—such as Anthem, Aetna, or Magellan—seeking a flexible way to access online addiction treatment in California.
Whether you’re managing mild to moderate substance use disorder, living with a co-occurring mental health condition, or simply looking for a discreet and convenient solution, our evening schedule (6:00 to 9:00 PM PT) makes it easy to prioritize your recovery. This virtual outpatient rehab California residents trust is available statewide, including for those in rural or underserved areas with limited access to in-person care.

Sessions are held via Zoom on a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, allowing you to engage in treatment from anywhere in the state. You’ll participate in a blend of individual therapy, group counseling, family therapy, and medication management, all tailored to support both substance use and mental health concerns.
During your first week, you’ll be introduced to your dedicated case manager and therapist, who will help guide your personalized treatment plan.

Is Virtual IOP as Effective as In-Person Care?
- Research shows that for many individuals with mild to moderate substance use disorders, virtual IOP programs can be just as effective as in-person care. Studies comparing online addiction treatment to traditional rehab models found no significant difference in patient satisfaction, retention rates, or therapeutic outcomes.
- Our virtual IOP California program offers the added benefits of privacy, flexibility, and access—especially for those balancing work, family, or living in remote areas of the state. While virtual rehab programs in California are a strong fit for most patients, they may not be appropriate for individuals in need of medical detox, those experiencing severe withdrawal, or people without a stable home environment.
- In those cases, our in-person programs, including PHP and residential care, offer additional structure and supervision to ensure safety and progress.
Covered by Insurance, Including Anthem, Magellan & More
- Our virtual IOP California program is in-network with most major insurance providers, making high-quality care both accessible and affordable.

Asana was very kind to me during my rehabilitation process. Thank God I continued to stay sober and they helped a lot in this process.
This is very difficult for me to write because this was my 4th treatment program. Today we celebrate 2 months sober. I have to thank mark and amber from the bottom of my heart for guiding me in this process. It was hard for me going back to inpatient treatment. As far as addiction treatment facilities go there are up front and honest and run a strict program but that is what I needed to be able to get sober this time around. The alcohol detox was rough this go around but it did help to have knowledgeable nurses to help. I can’t say anything bad about Asana. Thank you so much and I’m excited to join the alumni meeting !
This was my second treatment facility. I had an overall great experiance at Asana recovery . My therapist spoke to my wife and explained addiction so she understood , which no other facility has done for me . Not only did they pay attention to my personal needs they also included my family into my treatment schedule. By far this has been an amazing eye opening experiance for myself. Addiction is a very tricky thing and Asana recovery understands not everyone is the same . Thank you everyone from the owner to the Techs. Wonderful facility and beautiful property and very comfortable amenities .
I was never supposed to be an alcoholic and addict since the age of ten years old, but here I am. The reason why I chose asana recovery was simple. I needed to start, yet, another try at sobriety. I came here and paid out of my own pocket which shows how incredible and amazing this place really is. There is no detox that compares to this. I felt wanted and important. I just wanted to thank every single person for making me feel that way. I wasn’t just a patient, I was a real person. No matter what it takes, you have to come here for detox to start the long journey back into a life of dignity and love.
Hands down one of the best alcohol treatment facilities. I have been to one prior and this one was special. The therapist actually care and listen. I feel motivated and ready to stay sober this time. Thank you all for being so kind to me when I was broken.
I really enjoyed my week of detox at Asana. The techs and the owner, Jonathan, went out of their way to make sure we were all comfortable, fed, and, above all, safe. You do get your phone taken away, BUT in this day and age, I found it refreshing to not have to be glued to a screen for connection. I made a couple friends I plan on connecting with after I left and it was probably due to being forced to interact face-to-face. Cheyenne, Frank, Ryan, Hunter (and a couple good ones whose names my poor drug-addled brain cannot come up with at the moment 😂) all went out of their way to not only make their group therapy sessions have substance, but you could tell they really cared. Gloria the case manager is simply amazing at what she does. She gave me resources to look into regarding my addiction I have found invaluable to me now, and she really has a good heart. There are outings like bowling or Boomers if you are medically-cleared, and even church on Sunday. If you need a detox, I would heartily recommend Asana.
I was a client at ASANA recovery, and I can only say great things about this company. They truly have gone out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and content. I recommend this treatment center 100% Best rehab in OC!!

Staff was great changed my life. I’ve been sober for two years in September
I wanted to say what a great experience I got from Asana Recovery. I called broken and tired of being tired and they got me on a plane within a hour and half and the moment I touched down in California from detox/residential to IOP it was an amazing experience and I am so so grateful to be sober today because of Asana and a 12 step program. Highly recommend
Love this place everyone very helpful I'm almost 6 months sober if it wasn't for this place I could not have done I love each and every one of there employees was so kind and honestly cared for me and my dog
I was in the detox program and it was amazing. Sometimes the drug is just a band aid for the real problems and Asana helped me process the things I needed to process. They helped me to refocus and get my head right again. Sometimes that’s all that’s needed. My experience at Asana was amazing. The staff, I don’t have words in my vocabulary to express how amazing they are. They are complete strangers who put their time effort faith and trust in us, they believe in us and sometimes that means everything. The best part is that most of them have been down a similar road so they have personal insight. I am grateful to Asana for everything they done for me and a few friends. A five star rating is not enough they deserve ten stars.
Very nice staff. They Made me feel welcome and humorous at times when I needed to laugh. I recommend this place to anyone needing a new start
Asana Recovery is definitely by far the best treatment center there is. They have completely saved my life, and showed me life without drugs is definitely possible, as well as, an awesome lifestyle.😁😇🙏
All I can say honestly is Thank you Asana. Thank you for helping me to get my life back, thank you for helping me find myself in this crazy place called life, thank you for helping me fix myself so I can be a better mother for my children. If you're reading this, looking for a place for yourself or a friend/family member, reach out to Asana. The admissions team is amazing they help you with every step all the way through the flight set up to being picked up at airport. All the employees here are amazing. This place gave me my life back.

FAQs About Virtual IOP
and Telehealth for Addiction
What is a virtual IOP?
A virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is an outpatient treatment option that delivers intensive therapy and counseling services through digital platforms. These programs allow individuals to attend group therapy, individual sessions, and educational seminars from their own home or other convenient locations. Virtual IOPs are designed for people who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy but don’t require the 24/7 care of inpatient facilities. They’re commonly used to treat mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD, as well as substance use disorders, offering flexibility for those with work, family, or other life obligations.
Does online rehab work?
Online rehabilitation programs, including virtual IOPs, are effective treatment options for many individuals. These programs provide the same evidence-based treatment modalities as in-person programs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices, delivered by experienced professionals who tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. Virtual IOPs offer several advantages that can enhance effectiveness, including increased accessibility by eliminating geographical barriers, flexible scheduling that allows integration of treatment into daily life with minimal disruption, and personalized treatment plans that incorporate individual and family therapy.
Is virtual IOP covered by insurance?
Yes, many insurance plans cover virtual IOP programs. Private health insurance plans (including PPOs, HMOs, and EPOs), Medicaid, Medicare, and employer-sponsored insurance often include coverage for virtual IOP services. The widespread adoption of telehealth services has led to more insurers recognizing the value of online treatment options, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic when many insurance companies expanded coverage for telehealth services. However, coverage varies based on your specific insurance provider, state of residence, and type of treatment needed. It’s important to verify your benefits by contacting your insurance provider directly or working with a treatment center’s insurance coordinator.
How much does online addiction treatment cost?
On average, a full virtual IOP program can cost between $3,000 and $12,000 for a 6-to-12-week program. However, many treatment centers like Trinity Behavioral Health work with various insurance providers and financial assistance programs to help reduce this financial burden. Even with insurance coverage, patients may still be responsible for out-of-pocket costs such as copayments, deductibles, or coinsurance. It’s advisable to inquire about these potential costs before starting treatment by contacting your insurance provider and discussing financial options with the treatment center.
Can I attend virtual IOP from outside California?
Yes, it is possible to participate in a California-based virtual IOP program while living in another state, though there are important considerations. The primary concern involves state licensure and telehealth regulations, as healthcare providers must typically be licensed in the state where the patient resides. Some states have interstate telehealth agreements that allow providers licensed in one state to offer services to residents of another without additional licensure. Treatment centers like Trinity Behavioral Health often customize treatment plans for out-of-state participants and may coordinate with local providers in your state to ensure comprehensive care. Before enrolling, it’s essential to contact the treatment center directly to inquire about eligibility, availability of services, and insurance coverage for out-of-state participants.
