Intensive Outpatient Program in Los Angeles
Who We Help, What We Treat, and How We Support Recovery
What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?
Intensive outpatient services are more rigorous than the care you’d receive in a typical appointment. You may have the option to receive one-on-one care, group therapy interventions, addiction or mental health education, and medication management for relapse prevention.

Who Is a Good Fit for Our Intensive Outpatient Program in Los Angeles?
Conditions We Treat in Our Los Angeles IOP
Here at Stairway Resource Center, our recovery team focuses on severe/extreme mental health cases alongside various substance use disorders (SUDs). We treat conditions like depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, Alzheimer’s onset, memory loss, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Chronic relapsers are our specialty, offering solutions when other treatments have failed.
Substance Use Disorders and Addiction Treatment
Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders
Common Mental Health Conditions
Knowing that poor mental health is often linked with substance use disorders, it can be good to become aware of the conditions. For example, trauma is commonly linked with addiction. Some individuals may attempt to mask their trauma-related disorder symptoms, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with drugs or alcohol. Prolonged substance use can also lead to eating disorders, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or more.
Specialized Care for Adolescents and Adults
Here at Stairway Resource Center, we understand that social norms can be one of the biggest culprits of substance abuse. Peer pressure can be challenging to navigate for young adults. However, our specialized care teaches young adults the skills needed to overcome the negative effects of substance use and maintain mental stability for long-term sobriety.
Our Evidence-Based and Holistic Approach
At Stairway Resource Center, we believe that treating alcohol and drug addiction or poor mental health requires a holistic approach. Our treatment center strives to offer personalized, holistic care. Stairway Resource Center’s mission is to meet the unique needs of each patient, whether they are battling drug and alcohol addiction, mental health challenges, or both. These holistic methods support emotional and physical healing.
This helps our patients reconnect with themselves and build the strength they need for long-term recovery. Our evidence-based therapies include CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care. We regularly revise and update treatment plans to ensure that they meet each patient’s evolving needs. Our team addresses both addiction and mental health concerns at the same time.
Creating an Individualized Treatment Plan
At Stairway Resource Center, we help develop personalized treatment plans for every outpatient client. Our outpatient treatment approach pinpoints certain challenges in recovery. Individualized treatment also helps manage the demands of everyday life.

Coordination With Sober Living and Aftercare Services
Here at Stairway Resource Center, our compassionate team understands that the transition into early recovery can be challenging. Those with severe substance use disorder or co-occurring mental health issues commonly struggle to maintain sobriety. Studies indicate that approximately 85% of those with substance use disorder relapse and delve back into the cycle of addiction within one year after completing their treatment program. Outcomes involve nicotine, alcohol, illicit drug abuse, weight problems, and more.
The Role of Community in Recovery
Knowing that the risk of relapse is particularly high in early recovery, community support is crucial for relapse prevention. Among the available aftercare programs are community support, sober housing, our alumni program, and access to a tried-and-true 12-Step program. Together, these elements will help you build a recovery toolkit that encourages healthy, positive life habits and thought patterns in an environment filled with people you can trust for support. Our highly-trained experts will provide helpful relapse prevention plan strategies and personalized approaches designed to match your needs and situation.
Supportive Environment and Peer Connection
Establishing a strong support network is important in addiction recovery. Peer connection can open doors to new opportunities. For example, our addiction treatment center provides a supportive sober environment to help you or your loved one stay on track toward ongoing healing.
Alumni Involvement and Ongoing Support
Knowing that developing a strong support system is crucial to maintaining sobriety, our alumni program can help. We also give our clients access to a tried-and-true 12-Step program for dual support. Our highly-trained experts will provide helpful relapse prevention plan strategies and personalized approaches designed to match your needs and situation. You will have the opportunity to attend sober alumni events, participate in meetings, and gain educational tools to support long-term recovery.
Family Members as Part of the Healing Process
Support from family is the primary source of nurture for those healing from addiction or co-occurring mental health conditions. For that reason, our family programs help your family members understand the ways they impact your disorder, as well as to understand how the disorder impacts them in return.
