Deciding to seek help is the first step in your addiction recovery journey. AM Healthcare, along with our partners, provides a full continuum of care approach to mental health and addiction treatment. Provided by our partners at Valley Recovery Center and Inneractions IOP, our intensive outpatient program (IOP) in Los Angeles provides the structure you or your loved one needs while allowing you or your loved one to participate in daily activities.
Each treatment option at AM Healthcare and our partners is evidence-based and trauma-informed. This allows clients struggling with trauma to receive the mental health treatment they need without being re-traumatized in the process.
We understand that people from different walks of life will have a unique experience when it comes to addiction and mental health. As such, we offer focused care that is sensitive and inclusive, including care for men, women, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Our IOP in Los Angeles blends holistic modalities with evidence-based behavioral health care to promote whole-person healing. Learning skills such as proper nutrition, the value of exercise, mindfulness, utilizing hobbies, and stress-relieving techniques contribute to not just sobriety, but a fulfilling life overall.
AM Healthcare and our partners are proud to be staffed with dedicated mental health care professionals with decades of combined clinical experience. No matter which treatment facility you choose, you can trust that you will be cared for by our understanding, compassionate, and expert staff.
Our intensive outpatient program in Los Angeles works so well due to its flexibility. Clients have the option of in-person or virtual therapy, depending on their personal needs. This allows clients from all walks of life to receive the care they need for recovery.
Part of our aftercare services includes access to our alumni program and community events, which provide lasting sober companionship and assistance for our alumni and clients.
Our outpatient treatment programs will vary in specifics depending on your personalized needs. However, some aspects of our IOP or other outpatient rehab programs are universal.
Most outpatient addiction programs begin with an intake process. During intake, you will meet with members of the treatment team at AM Healthcare or our partners so they can learn more about you, and you can learn more about their program.
Intake generally consists of many questions. Your treatment team will want to learn more about you, your addiction, the substances you use, and how long you’ve struggled with addiction. They will also ask questions about your physical and mental health.
Once the assessment process is completed, we move on to personalized treatment planning. Many who struggle with addiction also have a co-occurring mental health disorder or an underlying medical condition. Others may not have support at home. All of these needs are taken into account when creating a treatment plan.
AM Healthcare and our partners utilize a variety of mental health services that combine psychotherapy and holistic modalities for comprehensive treatment. This may include typical therapies, such as CBT and EMDR, as well as holistic modalities such as mindfulness or somatic work.
Therapy sessions are typically three to five days a week, with each session lasting between two and four hours. Some clients will need more or less time, and we are prepared to adjust the schedule accordingly.
The goal of rehab is to help you get to the root of the emotional and behavioral challenges that led to addiction. It is not uncommon for those struggling with addiction to struggle with other mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety. To best address your addiction and eventually achieve sobriety and recovery, it is essential to address these co-occurring disorders.
Group therapy sessions provide an opportunity to learn from and benefit from the experiences of those who share a similar addiction history. It offers the chance to forge friendships with like-minded peers who can provide a shoulder to lean on after treatment when triggering events or situations occur. This doesn’t just provide understanding support, but helps you stay accountable and encouraged throughout recovery.
Each treatment program at AM Healthcare utilizes individualized discharge planning. This helps minimize disruptions to recovery if stepping into other levels of care and provides support to clients needing aftercare services. Discharge planning ensures that there are no surprises, and each client will have long-term support.
The daytime structure of our IOP will vary depending on individual needs, but a typical day involves:
Once the day is complete, clients can return home or go to work as normal.
Some clients may not be able to receive treatment during the day due to professional obligations. Because of this, we offer flexible evening therapy sessions that provide quality support while being mindful of your time.
AM Healthcare and our partners have an active sober community with members happy to provide support and guidance during off-session hours. Clients may participate in group activities, attend workshops, or wellness activities that promote joy and recovery.
We are equipped to assist clients struggling with addiction, substance abuse, and substance use disorder (SUD). This includes substances and drugs ranging from alcohol to prescription drug addictions.
Having one or more co-occurring mental health conditions along with an addiction or substance use disorder is known as a dual diagnosis. Treating both is critical for long-term recovery. As such, we are prepared to treat co-occurring disorders, such as:
One of the most common underlying causes of addiction and substance abuse is stress and trauma. We include treatment for trauma and stress-based conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
AM Healthcare offers a First Responder Program as a support system and treatment program for:
This specialized program is designed to address the unique challenges that our heroes face and provide the compassionate and quality mental healthcare they need.
Our outpatient drug rehab programs allow you to live at home while still receiving comprehensive addiction treatment care. The structure of our partner outpatient programs at Valley Recovery Center and Inneractions IOP will enable you to remain immersed in your home and community environments while working towards sobriety.
Each outpatient treatment program utilizes evidence-based care, which is trauma-informed and culturally sensitive. A client’s treatment team may include therapies and modalities in their treatment plan, such as:
Along with our evidence-based treatment services, AM Healthcare offers both individual and group therapy. Peer support is important for recovery, and for that reason, clients have access to various support groups. This allows clients to have private sessions through individual therapy, while also gaining understanding and mutual support through peer support.
Part of behavioral health is learning to utilize skills learned in treatment to make healthy choices. Because you remain at home in your community during treatment, you’ll naturally integrate what you’ve learned in treatment into your day-to-day life.
This means you are practicing vital coping and relapse prevention skills throughout your treatment, so when faced with a triggering event in the future, you are prepared to manage it safely and healthily.
Another benefit to outpatient care is a seamless transition into our aftercare programs. Aftercare is a vital component of comprehensive addiction treatment. Achieving and maintaining sobriety is a lifelong process, and our guidance does not end when the treatment program does. Some aftercare programs include our alumni program, support groups, and transitional sober living.
Clients with trauma can find mutual support and healing through our trauma-informed group therapy program. This allows us to help clients find understanding with their peers without being re-traumatized.
Family is critical to the healing process. As such, we offer family therapy and support to foster better communication and long-term recovery.
We believe that every client has the power to reclaim their lives from addiction. By offering sensitive and empowering care, we help clients find their inner courage and choose sober living.
Our IOP is highly structured, which gives clients the stability they need for lasting recovery. As clients improve, they need this structure less and are eventually able to maintain their routines on their own.
Inpatient and outpatient drug and alcohol rehab programs share the same goal: helping you achieve and maintain lasting sobriety. Each level of care, inpatient or outpatient, can have positive and negative aspects that may influence which program is right for you.
When you choose an inpatient (including detox) or residential program, you will live at the facility while having 24/7 access to emotional, medical, and nutritional support. This more intensive treatment has a higher treatment success rate, as remaining at the facility instead of living at home helps reduce the potential for triggering situations or relapse during the treatment process.
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a treatment program where clients receive intensive care during the day while returning home at night. Though not as intensive as inpatient or residential care, clients still need to devote time to treatment, between 4 and 8 hours per day, up to 5 days a week.
These programs are often well-suited for someone:
Outpatient drug and alcohol programs allow you to seek potentially life-saving addiction treatment while living at home. Clients have a structured treatment schedule, averaging a few days per week for a few hours each day. The number of hours and overall duration of your treatment program will depend on your specific treatment needs and goals.
They also provide benefits such as:
Before choosing a treatment plan, it is essential to be aware of your specific needs and personal relationship with addiction. Our intensive outpatient program in Los Angeles offers personalized care, which helps clients struggling with a wide variety of addictions and co-occurring disorders.
It is essential to select a drug and alcohol rehab facility that can address your unique treatment needs and goals. This is because mental health and substance use disorders are specific to the individual, with varied symptoms and experiences. For this reason, successful addiction treatment, whether inpatient or outpatient, must be designed around your needs and the level of care you require.
The level of care you require to get and stay sober long-term depends on various factors. If you struggle with an addiction to specific substances such as alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines, or have completed treatment before and experienced relapse, it is often better to seek addiction treatment at an inpatient residential treatment center. Inpatient treatment provides 24/7 care and support, medically assisted detox, and withdrawal management.
People who complete inpatient treatment and aren’t at high risk for relapse or have mild addictions that don’t require stabilization through medical detox or inpatient care may do best in an intensive outpatient program.
IOPs are helpful for clients who:
If you or your loved one meets any of the above criteria, our IOP in Los Angeles may be the right fit.
Part of the recovery process involves integrating the skills learned in treatment into your daily routine. IOPs provide a supportive environment with professional oversight, which helps clients feel confident in living a sober life.
Changes in emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are a sign that you need help from a mental health care professional. Some common changes include:
You may need to consider seeking help from an IOP program if you experience signs such as:
