What to Expect When You Reach Out?
When you first take a step forward in your recovery journey from substance use and mental health concerns, it can feel overwhelming. However, the biggest change can begin with a simple conversation. This is why Create Recovery’s admission process is designed for you to feel safe, seen, and heard.
Here is the typical admission process for rehab when you reach out for outpatient treatment options:
Confidential Conversation
When you reach out to us at (866) 885-3042 for rehab admissions in Los Angeles, you will speak with a member of our admissions team. This is just a conversation – you do not have to commit to anything right away. Share whatever is on your mind or what has been going on with you to whatever degree you feel comfortable with.
Insurance Verification
If you decide to proceed with us after the conversation or whenever you feel ready, we will handle your PPO insurance verification confidentially and provide a fast, clear explanation of your coverage and benefits.
Clinical Assessment
A licensed clinician will speak to you regarding your present behavioral health needs, symptoms, stressors, and history to understand what the right level of care is for you. You need to be honest here. Please know that every piece of information you share will be kept confidential and will be handled with utmost discretion and care.
Personalized Recommendations
We will discuss the partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP) with you, regarding what you can expect, scheduling, and next steps, with a clear timeline. If you need a higher level of care, we will recommend that as well. Our focus is always on you.
How We Help Determine the Right Level of Care?
Determining the right level of care is something that happens in collaboration with you and your clinical team. You are an active participant in deciding what fits you – an equal partner. We consider several factors, such as:
- Your level of daily functioning and stability
- Your daily responsibilities - such as school, work, or family responsibilities
- Your substance use and/or mental health symptom severity and treatment history (if present)
- Whether you need transitional outpatient treatment from higher levels of care, such as inpatient or residential care
- Your existing social support systems - whether you feel safe and supported at your home once you return after treatment. Otherwise, we can speak about comfortable sober living options for you as well.
You do not need to figure this out on your own or arrive at our treatment center with a predetermined answer. Our team provides clear, personalized recommendations.
For those stepping down from a higher level of care, the clinical team creates a thoughtful transition that maintains and builds on the growth you have already achieved.
PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program): PHP offers a higher level of structured care with 6-8 hours of treatment per day for 5 days per week. It can be ideal for you if you need frequent clinical oversight while living at home.
You can learn more about our PHP program in Los Angeles here.
IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program): IOP offers flexible daytime or evening scheduling – for 9-15 hours per week. It can be ideal for you if you are balancing school, work, or family responsibilities with your recovery needs.

Outpatient Treatment That Fits Your Real Life
Outpatient treatment programs at Create Recovery are designed for you if you need structured care without having to put your life on hold. That is, you can continue with your school, job, or family responsibilities while also receiving the care you need and deserve. You do not have to choose between one and the other anymore.
We offer flexible daytime and evening IOP scheduling, making it easier to maintain your routine. For California residents who cannot attend in person, virtual IOP is available.
While both PHP and IOP are effective treatment options on their own, they can also function seamlessly as step-down treatment in Los Angeles – from more intensive levels of care.
Outpatient care is not the weaker option compared to inpatient or residential treatment – it provides real clinical structure and care tailored to where you are right now. The focus is on fitting treatment into your life, not stopping it.
Who We Support?
We offer outpatient behavioral health treatment and care for those who are experiencing:
- Drug and alcohol misuse
- Anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns, alongside substance use disorders
- Dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders
- Burnout and chronic overwhelm
- Stress-related disorders
- Major life transitions
- Transitions from more intensive levels of care to outpatient care.
Insurance Verification and Payment Support
Finances can be one of the biggest barriers to behavioral health treatment. But Create Recovery aims to bridge this gap so that receiving the care you need and deserve can be effortless.
We accept most PPO insurance plans and can verify your insurance and benefits for you – and explain them to you clearly and simply. You can verify your benefits confidentially before committing to treatment as well – with your insurance provider.
As part of our outpatient rehab admissions, our insurance team will talk you through the details and provide a clear review of your coverage for PHP and IOP programs. This step removes uncertainty so you can make informed decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Admissions at Create Recovery Center
How quickly can I start treatment?
In many cases, you can begin treatment the same day you reach out to Create Recovery Center, when scheduling and clinical oversight allow it. Our team works quickly with a confidential conversation, insurance verification, and clinical assessment to create a timeline that fits your needs.
What happens during the admissions process?
The admission process at Create Recovery Center includes a confidential conversation, PPO insurance verification, clinical assessment, and personalized recommendations for PHP or IOP. It is safe, confidential, transparent, and moves at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Does insurance cover outpatient treatment?
Many PPO plans cover outpatient PHP and IOP treatment. Create Recovery Center provides confidential, no-obligation insurance verification so you can understand your benefits before making any decisions.
How do I know what level of care I need?
Create Recovery’s licensed clinical team determines the right level of care through a personalized assessment. You do not need to know this beforehand – we sit with you to understand your symptoms, history, and treatment needs and goals to recommend the right level of care based on your unique circumstances.
Can I continue attending school or working while in treatment?

Do I need a referral?
You do not need a referral. You can reach out directly for a confidential conversation and begin the admissions process.
Is outpatient treatment effective?
While inpatient or residential treatments are considered to be the gold standard for behavioral health concerns, studies have shown that PHP and IOP can be just as or even more effective as they provide clinical oversight, therapy, skills training, relapse prevention, and community support while allowing you to live at home. Many find this level of care highly effective for building lasting recovery.
What conditions does Create Recovery help treat?
At Create Recovery, we treat drug and alcohol use, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and other mental health concerns. We also provide step-down care options for those transitioning from higher levels of care.
I am leaving a residential program. Is IOP the right next step?
Many times, IOP can provide a smooth step-down transition that allows you to maintain structure and build on the growth you have achieved through a residential program. However, this can vary – it depends on your clinical assessment.
