Outpatient treatment options provide a flexible, effective path to recovery—without requiring you to put your entire life on pause, but you may wonder if it’s right for you. For individuals navigating work, parenting, or school, outpatient care delivers structured support while preserving daily routines. This approach makes it easier to get help while staying rooted in your life.
What Are Outpatient Treatment Options?
Outpatient programs vary in intensity but all offer support through therapy, education, and clinical services while allowing participants to live at home. Two primary options include:
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Held in the evenings, this option includes three sessions per week with individual therapy, group discussions, and skills-based learning.
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): A more immersive model, PHP provides daytime structure up to five days a week but still allows clients to return home each evening.
Both outpatient treatment options use trauma-informed, evidence-based practices to support recovery, emotional health, and long-term progress.
Who Benefits from Outpatient Care?
Outpatient treatment options are ideal for people who:
- Need mental health or addiction support but do not require 24/7 care
- Want to continue meeting work, school, or family obligations
- Have recently completed inpatient care and are transitioning into a less intensive level of support
- Prefer to maintain privacy while receiving professional clinical services
For high-functioning adults, outpatient care can offer the structure and accountability of treatment—without the disruption of residential programs.
What to Expect from Outpatient Programs
Participants in these programs typically receive:
- One-on-One Therapy: Personalized sessions with licensed, trauma-informed therapists
- Group Therapy: Peer support, skill-building, and emotional processing
- Trauma-Informed Curriculum: Tools for regulating emotions, setting boundaries, and managing triggers
- Flexible Scheduling: Evening hours (5:30–9 PM) make it possible to attend while managing responsibilities
- Family Engagement: Optional family involvement to rebuild communication and trust
- Aftercare Planning: Guidance and resources to help maintain momentum after treatment ends
These services are designed to support real-life healing through consistent, compassionate care.
What Makes This Program Different?
Unlike generic treatment programs, this outpatient model focuses on whole-person healing, delivered by a team trained in trauma care and dual diagnosis treatment. Clients receive individualized care that addresses the root causes of addiction, anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm.
Services are delivered by EMDR-trained clinicians and mental health professionals in a private, welcoming setting. With flexible program hours, a deep understanding of co-occurring disorders, and a supportive clinical approach, clients are empowered to make real progress without stepping away from daily life.
Valiant Behavioral Health brings this model to the Simi Valley community, offering compassionate care grounded in clinical excellence.
