Program overview
Who Virtual IOP In Orange County Is For
Virtual IOP fits adults who have a private space, a reliable internet connection, and the time to attend live groups. It doesn't replace a full day of PHP on campus.
If you need more time in person, IOP and PHP meet at 23726 Birtcher Dr in Lake Forest, and you still sleep at home. Admissions will confirm which option fits you, then help you verify your insurance, since benefits vary by plan.

No Commute
You join from a private space when distance or logistics make it hard to get to campus.

Dual Diagnosis Online
Substance use and mental health are treated together in one plan, even when your sessions are online.
A Bridge To In-Person Care
You can move into PHP or IOP in Lake Forest when coming to campus becomes possible or necessary.
How virtual IOP works
Structure You Can Join From Home
You'll need a private space, reliable internet, and a commitment to show up on camera and ready to work, just as you would on campus.
- Setup
Tech And Privacy Check
Before you start, you'll confirm your device, your connection, and a private place where you can take part fully.
- Join
Live Clinical Sessions
You join scheduled groups and one-on-one sessions with licensed clinicians in real time, not prerecorded videos.
- Practice
Skills Between Sessions
You'll have homework and a crisis plan for the hours you're offline, and your clinicians will check in on how it went.
- Review
Progress Reviews
Your team reviews how you're doing and can change your hours or move you to in-person care when that's the better fit.
Schedules depend on your level of care, and admissions can walk you through a sample week before you start.
Why this level
Why Choose Virtual IOP At OC Revive
OC Revive is outpatient only, so you get scheduled treatment hours in Lake Forest and go home at the end of each day.
- 01
Fewer Barriers To Care
Distance, transportation, or a tight schedule doesn't have to keep you from intensive outpatient treatment.
- 02
More Time For Work And Family
You skip the commute and still attend several clinical sessions each week.
- 03
A Real Clinical Team
You work with OC Revive clinicians you can get to know, not an anonymous app.
- 04
Easy Move To Campus
You can switch to PHP, IOP, or OP on campus when in-person care is the better next step.
Virtual IOP May Be Right If…
- 01
You Have A Private, Reliable Setup
You have a quiet space, a stable internet connection, and you're comfortable taking part on camera.
- 02
You Need IOP But Can't Get Here
Distance or logistics make it hard to come to campus several days a week right now.
- 03
You're Stable Enough For Outpatient Care
You don't need on-site medical monitoring or a full day of PHP.
Virtual IOP Isn't The Right Fit When…
You Don't Have Privacy Or Reliable Tech
A shared space or an unstable connection makes it hard to take part fully and keep your sessions confidential.
You Need More In-Person Support
If PHP or in-person IOP would be safer for you, admissions will tell you so.
You're In Crisis Or At Immediate Risk
Emergency care or a higher level of care has to come first. If you're in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911 in an emergency.
Therapies & modalities
Therapies Available In Virtual IOP
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.
- Breathwork and grounding for moments of high stress
- Gentle movement to ease tension
- Skills you can keep using at home
- 04
Group And Peer Support
In process groups, you practice recovery with people who understand what you're going through. Isolation can make substance use worse, and a group gives you accountability and support.
- Process groups led by licensed staff
- Connection with peers who won't judge you
- A safe place to practice social skills
- 05
One-On-One Sessions
In one-on-one sessions, your clinician tracks your mood, substance use, and behavior against a treatment plan written for you.
- Treatment planning and regular check-ins
- Time to work on trauma and co-occurring conditions
- Clear goals to work on between sessions
- 06
Life Skills And Relapse Prevention
You'll work on time management, communication, stress, and relapse prevention, so the hours outside treatment support your recovery too.
- A relapse-prevention plan you can actually follow
- A schedule that fits work, school, and family
- Skills for relationships and daily life
