Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) For Mental Health

What is IOP for Mental Health?

OC Revive’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) stands out by offering comprehensive mental health support. While traditionally linked with addiction recovery, IOP is equally effective for co-occurring mental health conditions. Our program ensures patients enjoy the flexibility of outpatient care, backed by strong support frameworks. At OC Revive, our vision extends beyond immediate treatment. We empower clients with lasting skills to navigate life post-treatment.

Who can Benefit from a Mental Health IOP?

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:

  • Do you need a higher level of medical supervision than a typical outpatient?
  • Do you need assistance while transitioning out of an inpatient program?
  • Do you need help in building coping skills before you go out into the real world?
  • Do you have support at home while you are transitioning?
  • Do you feel motivated to continue therapy and build life skills?
  • Do you need a more flexible scheduling option than an inpatient program?
  • Do you have other obligations and responsibilities while receiving treatment?
  • Do you need an affordable treatment option while still needing supervision?

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.

How does it work?

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 for 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) MAT combines medications, counseling, and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders.

Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP)This program offers structured treatment sessions several times a week. Clients can live at home and, in some cases, continue with their daily responsibilities.

Partial Hospitalization (PHP) PHP is a step below inpatient care but offers more comprehensive services than IOP. Patients attend treatment sessions for a significant portion of the day but return home at night.

Outpatient Program (OP), OP involves attending treatment sessions less frequently than IOP, typically once a week.

The IOP phase at OC Revive isn’t just a step-down – it’s a meticulously monitored phase, tracking attendance, progress, and milestones.

Stephen Carmel

Co-Founder & CFO

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”.

Derek Walsh

Co-Founder & COO

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.

Founder & CEO

Tyler is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care to teens and their families. Once a teenager that struggled with addiction, mental health, and poor choices, Tyler is aware of the growing demand and need for early intervention in adolescents and young adults. Growing up in Orange County, he battled addiction and peer pressure all throughout high school and during his time at Saddleback College. During those troubled years, Tyler’s parents and family were emotionally drained and heavily impacted by his addiction. Unfortunately, they did not know where to turn for help nor did they have the courage to set boundaries with him.After 7 painful years, they finally forced Tyler out of the house and into treatment at the age of 23.

April 5th, 2010 is a date that Tyler and his family hold dear. On that date, Tyler enrolled in a 4-month treatment program which laid the foundation for his recovery. With the help of treatment professionals, supportive friends and family, Tyler was able to build a better version of himself. This started with slowly building his self-esteem, and growing a community of peers to support him throughout recovery.

In 2011,with the desire to help others struggling with addiction, he decided to start working in the addiction field. Tyler obtained his CADAC || Counselor certification and graduated from Cal Sate University of Long Beach with a degree in Health Care Administration. Since then, Tyler has worked all areas of treatment starting as a detox technician and working his way up to Program Director.
