Dual Diagnosis Included
Substance use and mental health stay in one treatment plan while you're in outpatient care.
What to expect
How Outpatient Treatment Works Here
OP sessions are focused clinical work rather than quick check-ins, and your treatment plan sets how often you come in and when your hours change.
- Assess
Intake
Admissions reviews your symptoms, any co-occurring conditions, and your commute to decide whether OP, IOP, or PHP is the safer start.
- Plan
Session Goals
You and your clinician set goals for substance use, mental health, and everyday life skills.
- Engage
Regular Sessions
You attend individual therapy, groups, and skills practice on your outpatient schedule.
- Adjust
Adjust Your Level Of Care
You can move up to IOP or PHP if you need more support, or keep going with OP as you get more stable.
Schedules depend on your level of care, and admissions can walk you through a sample week before you start.

Outpatient Treatment May Fit If…
- 01
You Live In Or Near Orange County
You can get to sessions in Lake Forest, or admissions confirms that Virtual IOP fits you.
- 02
You Need Care Without A Full Day
Your current symptoms call for OP or a step-down plan rather than a full day of treatment.
- 03
You May Have A Dual Diagnosis
Substance use and a mental health condition both need attention, and we treat them together.
We'll Recommend Another Level If…
You Need More Structure
If you need treatment on several days each week, IOP, Evening IOP, or PHP may be the safer start.
You're In A Medical Or Mental Health Crisis
Call 911 or go to the ER to get stable first, or call or text 988 if you're in crisis, and then we can plan outpatient care.
You Can't Attend Reliably
Admissions will work with you on a schedule and level of care you can actually keep up with.
Therapies & modalities
Therapies Used In Outpatient Treatment
Therapists build these into group and one-on-one sessions, so you can practice the skills in session and use them at home.
- 01
DBT And CBT
These therapies teach you to manage strong emotions, get through distress, and change unhelpful thinking, and you can use the skills the same day.
- Identify triggers and unhelpful thought patterns
- Build ways to get through cravings and conflict
- Practice skills in group and individual settings
- 02
Art And Music Therapy
Art and music give you another way to work through things when talking isn't enough on its own, and creative work can help lower anxiety.
- A way to express feelings that are hard to name
- Structured creative work that can ease anxiety
- Tied to your treatment goals, not just free time
- 03
Yoga And Meditation
Breathing, grounding, and gentle movement help you stay steady when stress spikes, including after your sessions end for the day.

- 05
