30, 60, or 90 day tracks, adjusted to your progress

Who IOP is for
IOP sits between PHP and standard outpatient care. It is built for people who need more than a weekly therapy hour but cannot step away from work, school, or family for full treatment days. Many people start here directly, and many step down here after PHP. IOP may be the right fit if any of these sound like you:
- You need structured support several days a week, not all day every day
- You are working, in school, or caring for family and need evening or weekend options
- You are stepping down from PHP or a residential program
- You are living with substance use, a mental health condition, or both
- You have a court-ordered or court-approved treatment requirement
- You have a safe, stable place to live during treatment

Your first week in IOP
From the first call to your first sessions, here is how it works.
A confidential first call
It takes about 15 to 30 minutes. We listen, answer your questions, and verify your insurance for free, often the same day. No pressure, no judgment.
Assessment and your plan
A private clinical assessment looks at your health, your history with substances, and your mental health. From there we build a personalized plan and pick the schedule that fits your life: day, evening, or weekend.
Start within days
Most people begin within days of their first call, and same-day admission is often available when the need is urgent. Sessions meet in Suite 103, on the schedule you chose together.
Check in, adjust, step down
At the end of your first week we review how it is going and adjust. As you progress through your 30, 60, or 90 day track, we plan your step down to outpatient care and aftercare together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Anything else? Call us, day or night.
What does IOP stand for?
IOP stands for Intensive Outpatient Program: structured group and individual therapy several days a week, while you live at home and keep work or school going. We run day and evening IOP tracks at our Glendora center, with weekend options too.
What does IOP mean in court?
When a court orders IOP, it means completing an intensive outpatient program at an approved provider, with your attendance and progress reported to the court. We are a court-approved provider, and our court liaison handles that documentation for you, from proof of enrollment to your certificate of completion.
What is an intensive outpatient program?
IOP is structured treatment that does not take over your life. You attend group and individual therapy several days a week, typically 9 to 15 hours in total, and live at home the whole time. It sits between PHP, which runs full treatment days, and standard outpatient care, which is usually about an hour a week.
How is IOP different from PHP?
Intensity. PHP means several hours of treatment a day, up to five days a week, and works best when you need daily structure. IOP covers similar ground in fewer weekly hours, with evening and weekend options, so work and school can continue. Many people start in PHP and step down to IOP.
Can I keep working or going to school during IOP?
Yes. That is the whole point of this level of care. We offer day, evening, and weekend sessions so treatment fits around your job, your classes, or your family, not the other way around.
How long does IOP last?
Most people follow a 30, 60, or 90 day track. Your care team reviews your progress with you and adjusts the length together. Recovery is not a race, and the plan is always yours.
Does IOP work for court-ordered treatment?
Yes. We accept referrals for drug diversion, alternative sentencing, probation, and DCFS cases, and our court liaison handles the documentation your case requires.
Does insurance cover IOP?
Most major PPO and HMO plans cover IOP. We verify your benefits for free, usually within minutes, with no obligation. We do not accept Medi-Cal at this time.
