Recovering from drug addiction doesn’t always require stepping away from your everyday responsibilities. For many individuals, outpatient treatment offers the perfect balance—intensive therapeutic support with the flexibility to continue participating in work, school, or family life. In a city as dynamic as Los Angeles, outpatient drug treatment has become a go-to choice for people looking to achieve sobriety while maintaining their independence.
At Totality Treatment in Los Angeles, we specialize in delivering customized outpatient care that meets you where you are. Our evidence-based programs are designed not just to treat addiction but to support the mental and emotional healing that sustains long-term recovery. Whether you need structured daily therapy or occasional check-ins as you reintegrate into everyday life, our outpatient services provide the guidance and care necessary for lasting transformation.
What Is Outpatient Drug Treatment?
Outpatient drug rehab is a treatment model where clients attend scheduled therapy sessions while continuing to live at home. Unlike inpatient programs, which require 24/7 residency at a facility, outpatient care allows individuals to engage in recovery without stepping away from their daily obligations.
This treatment format works especially well for those transitioning from residential programs, people with less severe substance use disorders, or those with strong support systems at home. With access to licensed professionals, group therapy, and a variety of therapeutic techniques, outpatient treatment delivers structured care while allowing real-world application of new coping strategies.
Levels of Outpatient Care at Totality Treatment
At Totality Treatment, we recognize that recovery is not linear. That’s why we provide three distinct levels of outpatient care, each tailored to the client’s clinical needs and life circumstances.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Totality Treatment’s Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is our most intensive outpatient option, designed for individuals who need a high level of clinical care without full-time residential treatment. Ideal for those stepping down from inpatient rehab or experiencing significant addiction symptoms alongside mental health challenges, PHP offers a comprehensive treatment experience in a flexible format. Clients benefit from structured support during the day while maintaining the ability to return home each evening, allowing them to apply their recovery tools in real-world settings.
Key Features of PHP at Totality Treatment:
- Up to six hours of programming per day, five days a week, offering consistency and structure.
- Daily individual and group therapy sessions that target both addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions.
- Medication management and psychiatric support to address mental health needs alongside substance use recovery.
- Skill-building workshops focused on relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and healthy decision-making.
- Life planning support, including guidance on returning to work, school, and rebuilding relationships.
This high-touch program empowers clients with the clinical care, life tools, and community support needed to stabilize and move forward in their recovery journey.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Totality Treatment’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a balanced approach to recovery for individuals who need consistent support while transitioning back into daily life. As a step down from our Partial Hospitalization Program, IOP is designed for clients who are stable enough to manage some independence but still require structured, evidence-based treatment. Participants typically attend between three to five sessions per week, each lasting about three hours, allowing them to continue working, studying, or managing personal responsibilities.
Core Features of IOP at Totality Treatment:
- Flexible scheduling with morning, afternoon, and evening options to accommodate different lifestyles and commitments.
- Weekly one-on-one therapy sessions that target personal goals, progress, and emotional wellness.
- Group therapy that explores topics like relapse prevention, coping with triggers, and building emotional resilience.
- Family therapy opportunities to enhance communication and strengthen external support systems.
- Incorporation of holistic practices, such as mindfulness, meditation, and stress management techniques.
Our IOP provides the tools, accountability, and clinical guidance needed to maintain momentum in recovery while integrating into everyday life.
Outpatient Program (OP)
Totality Treatment’s Outpatient Program (OP) offers a flexible and supportive option for individuals who have made significant progress in recovery and are ready to take the next step toward independence. This level of care is ideal for those who no longer require intensive daily treatment but still benefit from professional oversight and a structured support system. OP allows clients to maintain their daily responsibilities—such as work, school, or caregiving—while continuing to receive expert guidance and therapeutic support.
What OP Offers at Totality Treatment:
- One to two therapy sessions per week focused on relapse prevention, mental health stability, and personal growth.
- Medication management and psychiatric check-ins tailored to each individual’s evolving needs.
- Ongoing use of coping tools and relapse prevention strategies developed during earlier stages of treatment.
- Optional family or couples therapy to strengthen personal relationships and support systems.
- Regular peer support and check-ins to maintain accountability and motivation.
The OP supports long-term success by offering the right level of care for those transitioning back into their everyday lives while staying grounded in their recovery journey.
Therapies That Drive Meaningful Change
At Totality Treatment, all of our outpatient programs utilize proven, evidence-based therapies to create personalized care experiences. These therapeutic modalities are grounded in decades of research and tailored to each client’s unique needs and challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps individuals identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with constructive behaviors that support recovery and emotional balance.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Teaches essential skills for managing distress, improving emotional regulation, and strengthening interpersonal relationships.
Motivational Interviewing (MI): Enhances motivation and commitment to change by exploring ambivalence and reinforcing personal reasons for recovery.
Group Therapy: Offers peer support, insight, and shared experiences that foster connection and reduce feelings of isolation.
Family Therapy: Helps rebuild trust and improve communication among loved ones, which is critical to a successful support system.
Additionally, we incorporate holistic strategies like yoga, mindfulness meditation, and nutritional counseling to create a whole-person approach to healing.
Dual Diagnosis Support for Co-Occurring Disorders
Substance use disorders often go hand-in-hand with underlying mental health challenges. Many individuals seeking outpatient drug treatment are also managing conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. Without treating both, recovery can be incomplete and short-lived. At Totality Treatment, our dual diagnosis care ensures that individuals receive comprehensive, integrated support for both substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions.
Our approach includes:
- Comprehensive psychological assessments to accurately identify co-occurring conditions and inform personalized care.
- Psychiatric care and medication management to stabilize mood, reduce symptoms, and support overall well-being.
- Therapy sessions that address both addiction and mental health simultaneously through evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT.
- Specialized trauma-informed care to help clients process past experiences that may contribute to both mental health symptoms and substance use.
By treating the full spectrum of a person’s experience, we improve the chances of long-term recovery, emotional balance, and a higher quality of life.
