What is an IOP program?

At Hotel California by the Sea’s IOP programs in Orange County, we offer flexible day or night outpatient programs. Once patients have completed residential treatment, they typically continue outpatient treatment. As patients slowly return back into life, they are offered options to continue their recovery. 

These IOP programs in Orange County are crucial to the next step in recovery.

Candidates for PHP are usually patients who have completed residential treatment but are at a higher risk for potential relapse. IOP provides stability while a client is fully transitioning back into everyday life.

Patients attending PHP spend 5-6 hours per day, 5 days a week in active programming sessions. These sessions include group therapy, individual therapy, and case management meetings. For IOP, patients spend an estimated three hours per day, 3-5 days per week in the same sessions.

Outpatient care length can vary depending on the recommendations from each client’s recovery plan. At the end of each day, patients are able to return home or stay at our transitional living home. 

How are Inpatient & IOP Programs in Orange County different?

Patients receiving treatment at the inpatient settings receive 24/7 care by nursing staff and treatment technicians. On-site nurses complete daily assessments and patients are seen regularly by the attending physician and their team. Inpatient facilities provide a safe and structured environment to begin addiction recovery.

During outpatient programming, patients can continue therapeutic treatments while engaging in other activities outside of a clinical environment. 

Our IOP programs in Orange County do not require around-the-clock monitoring. Patients will receive less intensive care. All patients are assessed by medical physicians and psychologists. This process ensures the step down in level of care is appropriate for the patient.

While enrolled in our PHP and IOP programs, regular psychiatric evaluations help our clinicians determine the ongoing treatment plans for each patient. Assessments are completed by licensed physicians. Despite the completion of an inpatient program, some patients may still be vulnerable to withdrawal symptoms or even urges for relapsing. Because of this, continuing treatment at the PHP and IOP levels is highly encouraged.

Physicians may also suggest different forms of behavioral therapies to address any co-occurring mental health diagnoses. This will help ensure the patient remains on the right track during their sobriety journey.
