Who virtual IOP is for

When You Need IOP but Can't Come to Laguna Beach

Virtual IOP is for adults in California who need more support than weekly therapy gives them, but can't come to our Laguna Beach clinic three to five days a week.

Call us before you start, and tell us what's going on. We'll tell you honestly whether virtual IOP, in-person IOP, PHP, or a referral fits what you're dealing with.

Think of it as a part-time commitment to your health.
