Residential and outpatient are two different levels of care
A residential program is one where people stay overnight. We are a non-residential outpatient program. You live at home and come in for scheduled sessions. Those are two different things, and one does not stand in for the other. We are DHCS-licensed — license #300302AP.
If overnight supervision is what the situation calls for, that is a different level of care than ours, and it is worth sorting out before anything else. Which level fits comes out of a clinical assessment rather than a guess.
What we do and do not provide
We do not provide detox. We do not provide medical care for withdrawal. We do not provide 24-hour or overnight care. We do not provide emergency care.
If you think you need detox or medical care first, that is a different level of care than ours. Start with a doctor or an emergency department, and we can talk about what comes after.
If you need help right now
If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.
For a mental health or suicide crisis, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
For withdrawal symptoms, or any other medical concern about stopping, contact a qualified medical provider or an emergency department.
We are not a 24-hour program and we are not an emergency program. These numbers are here because you may need them.
What the schedule asks of you
We run two outpatient levels. Partial hospitalization, or PHP, is the more intensive of the two in hours per week. Intensive outpatient, or IOP, is a structured schedule of group and individual sessions. You live at home for both and come in for those sessions. Which one fits comes out of an individualized assessment of your needs, strengths, challenges and goals, not from a page. As things change, the plan is meant to change with them.
Telehealth is available for people located in California, using Zoom. California only, in every case.
What else is part of the program
Case management, weekly therapy, recovery and relapse-prevention education, and life-skills and wellness support. The programming covers relapse prevention, coping skills, emotional regulation, communication, healthy relationships, boundaries, goal setting, wellness, independent living, and employment and community resources.
The approaches used include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care and 12-Step facilitation. The program is small on purpose, which is what allows the team to stay attentive as someone's needs shift.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if the program schedule does not line up with my week?
Say so early. Case management is part of what the program does, and access barriers like transportation, work hours, and paperwork are part of that work. We do not provide transportation.
Will insurance cover this?
Cost is insurance based and varies. The payment options listed as accepted are Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, Tricare and private pay. What any individual plan actually covers is a separate question that depends on the plan itself, so ask us and we will talk it through.
How is this different from a residential program?
In residential care, people stay overnight. Here, you live at home and come in for scheduled sessions. If overnight supervision is what the situation calls for, this is not that.
How long has the program been operating?
Since 2013.
