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.

What Happens in Outpatient Rehab in Los Angeles?

Treatment at Create Recovery combines clinical care and practical recovery services, so you receive everything below in one coordinated plan:

Clinical Assessment: A licensed clinician reviews your symptoms, history, and goals to recommend the right level of care.
Individual and Group Therapy: Private sessions with your therapist, alongside a supportive community of peers who see you and make you feel understood as you grow together.
Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior Therapies: Evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, that develop coping and emotional regulation skills.
Medication Management: Prescribing, monitoring, and adjusting medication for substance use and mental health concerns, coordinated with your care team.
Case Management: Help with housing, employment, legal, and community needs.
Aftercare: Planning for life after treatment and staying connected to the Create Recovery alumni community.

How to Choose an Outpatient Program: Why Create Recovery?

When comparing outpatient programs, look for state licensure, third-party accreditation, a licensed clinical team, care that treats substance use and mental health together, and a schedule that fits your life. Here is how Create Recovery stands out.

What Makes Create Recovery Stand Out?

Outpatient Treatment in West Los Angeles

Located near Playa Vista and the Westside’s major employment centers, including the area often referred to as Silicon Beach, Create Recovery provides outpatient treatment that’s accessible for those balancing school, work, family, and daily responsibilities.

The area’s tech corridor and creative industries are home to many working professionals who need treatment that fits demanding schedules.

Our evening IOP outpatient treatment that fits around work, careers, and real-life responsibilities. Our location near major Westside corridors makes consistent care realistic rather than overwhelming. We also welcome clients from Playa Vista, Culver City, Mar Vista, Venice, and Santa Monica.

Create Recovery offers a relaxed, safe, and non-judgmental environment that feels more like home than a facility – it is where you can slow down, reset, and move toward healing.

What Are Our Clients Saying About Create Recovery

Here is a glimpse at just a few real stories – real stories of real healing with Create Recovery:

I was at Create for 7 months, and the impact on my life can’t be put into words! I had the greatest experience in a safe place where I could grow and learn about myself. My therapist taught me how to discover the tools I needed to find peace and happiness in my life. Every staff member and group facilitator worked very hard at helping me in my recovery journey.

I’ve been clean for 2 and a half years, and I still return to the facility to share updates. Create really did go far and above what I’ve experienced in the past. If you need help, Create is the perfect place to find it!!!

Jimmy LaFleur

I went through the program here at Create and had a very welcoming and great time while there. Very helpful staff and they took good care of us for lunch everyday and donuts on Friday. I had a therapist who checked in regularly with me and I trusted. They worked with me and my schedule. They held me accountable if I was ever slacking or being late to groups and treated me with respect. All in all I had a great experience at the program and met some very helpful and trustworthy friends in the process.

Jake Huebsch

Send your loved ones here.

The group leads are exceptional: structured, ethical, authentic, vulnerable, and raw.

They create a space for clients that feels safe, respectful, and honest — guided by genuine care instead of profit, which is unfortunately rare in this type of industry.

I’m grateful for my experience here and would recommend this program without hesitation to anyone seeking support and rehabilitation.
