The level of care
What PHP Treatment In Orange County Is
You spend the treatment day at 23726 Birtcher Dr in Lake Forest, then you go home, or to a sober living partner if you need housing.
The ASAM Criteria names partial hospitalization level 2.5, a structured day program without an overnight bed. The Joint Commission accredits this outpatient program for behavioral health care. If you need medical detox or a residential stay before PHP, admissions can connect you with a partner and then set your first day in Lake Forest.

Full Clinical Day
Groups, skills work, and time with a clinician fill most of the treatment day on campus.
Nights At Home
You leave when the day's sessions end, and you practice those skills where you live.
Checked Before You Start
Admissions looks at your outpatient benefits before the first day, and your insurer decides coverage.
Same Team Later
IOP and outpatient visits stay in this building, so you don't start over with new clinicians.
A day in PHP
What A Typical PHP Day Looks Like
Your schedule follows your clinical needs, and most days move from a morning check-in to therapy, skills, and a plan for the evening.
- Morning
Check-In And Goals
You start with a clinical check-in about mood, cravings, and sleep, and you set a goal for the hours ahead.
- Midday
Therapy
You meet with licensed clinicians for group and individual therapy, using cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
- Afternoon
Skills Practice
You practice relapse prevention and daily skills, and some days add art, music, or gentle movement when it fits your plan.
- Close
Plan For The Evening
Before you leave, you name who you can call and how you'll stay safe until the next session.
Schedules depend on your level of care, and admissions can walk you through a sample week before you start.

Who PHP Is For
- 01
You Can Come During The Day
You can be at the Lake Forest campus for most of the day, and you have a safe place to sleep at night.
- 02
A Weekly Visit Has Not Been Enough
Cravings or mental health symptoms have stayed hard to manage on one appointment a week.
- 03
You Can Safely Go Home
You don't need overnight monitoring, and the clinical team confirms a full outpatient day is a safe start.
Who PHP Is Not For
You Need Emergency Care
If you might harm yourself, call or text 988, and call 911 in an emergency. PHP is not a crisis unit or a hospital.
You Need Detox Or 24-Hour Care First
If withdrawal or medical instability needs overnight care, admissions can connect you with a detox partner before PHP.
Daytime Hours Do Not Work
If work or caregiving fills the day, Evening IOP meets after work, and admissions can compare the two with you.
Dual diagnosis
Dual Diagnosis In PHP
Substance use and a mental health condition share one PHP plan, with the same clinicians and no second intake.
- 01
One Plan
You don't start a second program for depression, anxiety, trauma, or another condition that shows up with substance use.
- 02
Same Clinicians
The people you see for substance use are the people you see for the mental health work.
- 03
Inside The PHP Day
Group and individual sessions can cover both, and your plan says which one needs more time that week.
Our campus
Our Outpatient Campus In Lake Forest
The campus has comfortable common spaces, outdoor seating, and group rooms set up for day treatment, not a hospital ward.
