Behavioral Health Center San Diego

 

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Services

 

Our team at Alvarado Parkway Institute San Diego provides professional support to help those struggling with mental health and addiction issues. We personalize treatment based on individual needs to help clients maximize their potential. 

We provide intensive outpatient services for those in the San Diego area who do not require the intensity of inpatient treatment. We want each patient to understand that they matter, and we will be here through each phase of the recovery process.

Personalized Plans for Mental Health and Addiction Issues

While treatment depends on symptom severity, all of our programs target mental health conditions, substance use disorders, or co-occurring disorders.

At our behavioral health center in San Diego, we develop a plan for the treatment process, applying evidence-based techniques and therapy models. Plans can include mental health education, medication management, therapy, stress management, coping skills, and more. 

Our programs help with mental health conditions as well as addiction support grounded in a harm-reduction model. Addiction support includes relapse prevention and Seeking Safety, which is an evidence-based, present-focused counseling model designed to treat individuals with co-occurring trauma and substance abuse. The San Diego program includes lunch and a snack, and free transportation is available in designated zip codes.

The Purpose of Outpatient Services

Outpatient services are best for those who require less intensive support for addiction and mental health conditions. These services are designed for those who need psychological, educational, or medical services. On average, clients attend program 3 days a week for our morning track or our afternoon track.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) services are particularly beneficial for individuals who are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms, have strong systems of support, and can function independently.

The flexibility of this program allows clients to apply the techniques they have learned in treatment to their everyday lives.

This level of care is offered up to three days a week, and clients have the option of choosing between the morning and afternoon tracks.

The program includes lunch and a snack, and transportation is available for those in designated zip codes.
