Who we are
We have been operating since 2013. We are DHCS-licensed — license #300302AP. It is a small program by design, which is what makes individualized care possible rather than aspirational.

What outpatient care means
Outpatient care means you live at home and come in for scheduled sessions. You are not staying overnight.
That has an obvious benefit and an obvious demand. The benefit is that work, family, and your own home stay part of your life. The demand is that you practice recovery in the same environment where using happened, between sessions, without supervision.
What the program offers
Our program offers a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP), weekly therapy, individualized case management, recovery and relapse-prevention education, life-skills and wellness support, and help connecting with community resources.
PHP carries more programming hours in a week. IOP carries fewer. Both assume you go home afterward.
The ways we work include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, 12-Step work, and relapse prevention.

How care starts
You begin with an individualized assessment covering your needs, strengths, challenges, and goals. From there the team builds a treatment plan, and that plan gets revisited as things change rather than set once and left alone.
Telehealth
We offer telehealth for people located in California, on Zoom. Ask whether it fits your situation.
What we do not provide
This is an outpatient program. 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. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines carries medical risk for some people. If you have reason to think that applies to you, talk to a doctor or another qualified medical provider before you start. It does not apply to everyone, and an assessment is what works that out.
If you need help right now
If someone is in immediate danger or there is a medical emergency, call 911.
If you are having thoughts of suicide or you are in serious emotional distress, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
This page is not a crisis service, and this program is not a 24-hour or emergency program.

Questions worth asking any program, including this one
- Where is the program actually located, and where would I be going?
- What does a normal week look like at the level of care being suggested?
- Is telehealth an option, and what would it require?
- What does the program not do, and who handles that instead?
All of that is fair to ask before you share anything personal about yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does treatment last?
That depends on the level of care and on how things go, which is why progress gets reviewed as you move through rather than fixed at the start.
Will I be in groups the whole time?
No. The program combines group programming with individual therapy and one-to-one case management.
What does case management actually do?
It works on the practical things that affect recovery: healthcare, employment, education, housing, community resources, and support systems.
What if I am not sure I am ready?
A first conversation is not enrollment. You can ask what the program involves and decide afterward.
