Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for mental health goes the extra mile to not only treat our patients suffering from mental health issues, but also help them lead more productive and meaningful lives.
Although IOP is mainly used for addiction and substance abuse issues, it has also been proven to be effective in treating co-occurring mental health disorders, using structured treatment plans so that patients can get the benefits of an outpatient program while also receiving the support necessary for their treatment.
The goal of IOP at OC Revive is to produce the best chances for growth as you (or your loved one) learn how to thrive off of these tools. We pride ourselves on helping our clients make progress not just while they are receiving treatment at our facility, but to provide them with life skills to manage their mental illnesses even after they leave the program.
Intensive Outpatient Programs may not be right for every patient. Some patients may require residential programs for treating more severe mental health disorders, while others may only need intermittent outpatient support.
Here are some factors to consider:
While each patient’s requirements are unique, a combination of these factors can help decide whether an IOP program is right for treating your mental health disorders.
IOP provides various services to help you or your loved one thrive. Objectives are set between you and your therapist that focus on recovery skills. Therapy sessions occur throughout the week with progress reports sent to your sponsor and/or family member. Group therapy is included in select groups, usually, once a week, where clients learn from each other’s experiences creating an environment of empathy and support.
Individual therapy includes psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapies to help uncover and process a patient’s history, past events or other influences in their life that are impacting their current mental condition.
In this approach, therapists use behavioral treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and several others to help patients change their behavior through techniques for change and proper reinforcements.
The format of a group therapy can vary depending on the context, but in general it is used to bring together a group of patients with similar requirements in a safe space where they can be emotionally vulnerable while learning to overcome their challenges. A side benefit of this approach is to build peer support networks.
This is an experiential form of psychotherapy to allow patients to participate in adventurous or exciting activities while in a safe space, under supervision. Adventure therapy offers a wide range of benefits such as improved communication skills, enhanced risk assessment, learning to take responsibility, building relationships, and many others.
This approach of treatment using meditative practices while incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to be effective in treating mental health issues such as depression and anxiety and several others.
At OC Revive we work on a 3-step approach to monitor and measure the progress of each individual. This approach allows us to create long term success to clients of all backgrounds and severities.
As part of our 3-step approach, we offer several phases of recovery such as medical assisted treatment (MAT), Inpatient treatment, Partial Hospitalization (PHP) for those who have a good support system, and Outpatient Program (OP) for patients ready to confidently transition back into their daily life.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program is a transition step down but with well-monitored outpatient treatment, including tracking attendance, monitoring progress and recording successes.
The first step in our IOP treatment is an assessment with one of our staff members. This will include questions about your history of substance abuse and any related mental health disorders. If you require further treatment, you will be referred to our doctors who can provide medication-assisted treatment options if necessary.
After this initial meeting, you will meet with your case manager who will set up your individualized treatment plan based on what was discussed during your assessment. This could include group therapy sessions and individual counseling sessions depending on your needs as determined by our doctors during their initial examination.
If you or your loved one is seeking help with a mental health disorder or co-occurring disorder, we encourage you to reach out for help: 844-954-3890
I began my journey to recovery back in 2011 when i moved to California from New York.Along with my recovery and beginning a new way of life, I began to develop a heart for others struggling with sobriety.My journey to California was filled with many trials and lessons learned, but most of all, personal growth. I truly believe I would not have found success if I didn’t come to California.
I first opened an adult treatment center, California Prime Recovery(CPR) as a way to work with those struggling on a daily basis. Over the last 3 years, CPR has evolved into someting much more impactful and beautiful than i could’ve ever imagined. I have come to realize that my own happiness and growth depends on being involved in the lives of others in recovery. Helping people through recovery is a cornerstone of many 12 step programs, and it has become the most important aspect of personal life. Giving back to those still suffering is the only way not to lose what you have gained.
Throughout this journey, and by mentoring many adolescents, I realized i wanted to offer more to teens who were struggling just as i was. This is when i decided to start OC Revive. I had built many wonderful relationships throughout my professional journey and found two others who shared the same vision, and passion that i had for the youth. It didn’t take long for myself, Tyler Michaelis, and Derek Walsh to turn our dream into a reality. We are committed to providing the best possible treatment for adolescents and truly believe “their future is our collective responsibility”.
As Co-Founder & COO of OC Revive, Derek has a wealth of personal and professional experience dealing with the issues faced by today’s troubled teen. Throughout High School and College, Derek struggled with peer pressure, learning challenges, and substance abuse. Working with the support of family and friends, Derek set out to conquer those obstacles and find a richer, more fulfilling life.
On 15 October 2012, Derek overcame his own substance abuse problem and dedicated himself to help others work through their own addiction. A year later, Derek began a new journey and started his career in the recovery industry. Throughout his career, Derek has worked his way through numerous roles at top-rated treatment centers. While working at those treatment centers, Derek began to see a pattern that those struggling individuals would’ve benefited immensely from receiving earlier in life.
Derek decided that he wanted to be a part of the solution, and find a way to address those issues at an earlier age. He concluded that there needed to be interventions before adulthood, and he didn’t want to see anyone going through the same cycle that he did. That was when he and Tyler Michaelis decided to start OC Revive, to make sure teens get the help they need to find a purpose that leads them to a life of happiness and success.
Derek attended college at Orange Coast College and Santa Barbara City College.
