What is outpatient treatment?

Outpatient treatment, often called outpatient rehab, provides structured clinical care for behavioral health concerns such as substance use and mental health disorders while allowing you to live at home.

What mental health and substance use disorders does Create Recovery treat?

We treat anxiety, depression, burnout, alcohol misuse, drug misuse, and co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges. Our dual diagnosis treatment also focuses on the overlap between emotional struggles and substance use, without treating them as distinct conditions.

Does insurance cover outpatient treatment?

Most PPO insurance plans cover outpatient behavioral health treatment. At Create Recovery, we confidentially verify your specific benefits quickly and transparently so that you understand your coverage before starting.

Outpatient Treatment Programs in Los Angeles

Structured outpatient treatment programs in Los Angeles provide structured clinical care several times a week while allowing you to live at home and maintain your daily responsibilities. Create Recovery Center provides outpatient addiction treatment in Los Angeles and outpatient mental health treatment in Los Angeles, and they can be coordinated under a single care program.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our partial hospitalization program runs for 6-8 hours per day, for 5 days per week. PHP is designed for those who need more structured care than traditional therapy but do not require 24/7 residential care.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Our intensive outpatient program provides flexible scheduling, including evening options. IOP runs for 9-15 hours per week with schedules built around your life, especially when you want to maintain school, work, or family responsibilities while receiving the care you need and deserve.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Dual diagnosis means struggling with substance use and mental health concerns at the same time. Our dual diagnosis treatment addresses anxiety, depression, burnout, and alcohol or drug misuse together with one personalized plan led by licensed clinicians.

Why Outpatient Treatment Works for Those With Full Lives

Outpatient rehab in Los Angeles allows you to receive meaningful clinical care while showing up for your daily life.

You receive therapy, medication, community, and tools for stabilization – similar services as residential treatment, without putting your life on hold. For many, outpatient treatment provides the clinical structure and oversight needed to make meaningful growth while continuing to live at home and maintain daily responsibilities.

Is Outpatient Treatment Right for You?

Substance use and mental health concerns develop slowly. Clients come to Create Recovery because anxiety, mood changes, stress, or burnout, often alongside alcohol or drug use, have begun to impact their daily life, relationships, and performance at school or work. As these challenges often overlap in ways that weekly therapy alone cannot fully address, we provide personalized outpatient care that meets you where you are.

When Therapy Alone Is Not Enough

You may not need to stop therapy – you may need more structure and care around it. Structured outpatient care can provide more consistency between sessions.

When Everything Feels Harder to Manage

You can still be functioning while quietly becoming overwhelmed. When focus, energy, or responsibilities begin feeling harder to maintain, practical recovery services can help before things fully fall apart.

When Coping Stops Working

Sometimes coping skills are not failing – the stress load has simply become too heavy to manage alone.
