What it means
What is outpatient rehab?
Outpatient rehab is addiction treatment and counseling you attend during the day while you keep living at home or in sober living.
It has three levels of care: partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP) and outpatient therapy. The main difference between them is how much of your week each one takes.
Partial hospitalization (PHP)
You spend the day in treatment, often five days a week, and go home or to sober living each evening. It suits people who need intensive care without staying overnight.
Intensive outpatient (IOP)
Treatment runs a few hours a day, several days a week, with morning or evening sessions so you can keep working or studying. Many people move to it after partial hospitalization.
PHP and IOP take place at our Tustin office. Outpatient therapy often follows IOP and is delivered online through our virtual program.

If you need detox or residential treatment first, admissions will say so. Enhance provides both, so admissions can plan each step of your continuum of care with you.
When to consider it
Signs outpatient rehab may be the right level
Outpatient rehab may be the right level of care for you, and admissions can help you decide.
- You want to stop drinking or using and can stay safe at home while you do.
- You are finishing detox or inpatient care and want to keep treatment going.
- You need to keep working, studying or caring for family during treatment.
- You have family support at home, or people nearby who back your recovery.
- Your drinking or drug use is increasing, and you want help early.
- You have a mental health condition as well as the drinking or drug use.
Detox or inpatient may come first if
- You get sick or shaky when you stop.
- Home makes staying away from use too hard.
- You returned to use after outpatient care.
If there is immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For a mental health crisis, call or text 988.
What outpatient rehab includes
Each outpatient program uses the same evidence-based therapies for addiction treatment, and your level decides how much of your week they take.
Individual counseling
One-to-one sessions with a licensed therapist, where you look at what drives your drinking or drug use and set goals.
Group therapy
Groups led by a licensed therapist, where you practice coping skills and relapse prevention with other people in treatment.
Family therapy
Sessions that bring in family members when that would help, so the family support you get at home matches your treatment.
Medication management
A licensed psychiatrist prescribes medication when it is part of your plan and reviews how it is working.
CBT, DBT and REBT
Skills-based counseling that helps you notice the thoughts and urges behind substance use and choose a different response.
EMDR and trauma-informed therapy
Therapy for trauma, for people whose drinking or drug use grew out of something painful that happened to them.
Dual diagnosis care
Treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety or trauma, in the same plan as the substance use disorder.
Relapse prevention
Work with your therapist on cravings, triggers and what to do if you return to use, before you step down a level.

Common questions about outpatient rehab
If your question is not answered here, call admissions at (714) 862-1907.
What is the difference between PHP, IOP and standard outpatient rehab?
The three levels differ in how much of your week treatment takes. A partial hospitalization program fills most of the day, IOP takes part of the week, and outpatient therapy is regular sessions.
Who is a good fit for IOP rather than PHP?
IOP suits people who are stable enough to keep working, studying or caring for family between sessions. PHP suits people who need a full day of structure but can safely sleep at home.
Do I need detox before outpatient rehab?
Not always. If your body depends on alcohol or drugs, detox usually comes first. Enhance provides detox, so admissions can plan both steps.
Can I keep working or attending school during outpatient rehab?
Yes, especially in IOP, which takes part of the week and offers morning or evening sessions. PHP fills most of the day, so it is harder to combine with a full-time job or classes.
How long does outpatient rehab last?
The length depends on your needs and progress, and your clinical team works it out with you as treatment goes on. It isn't fixed before you start.
What happens during the first assessment?
You are asked about your drinking or drug use, your physical and mental health, and your life at home. Those answers decide which level of care you start in and whether detox should come first.
How does stepping down from residential treatment to outpatient care work?
When residential treatment ends, you usually move into PHP or IOP, so treatment continues without a gap. Your clinical team plans each step down with you, with relapse prevention and long-term recovery as the goals.
Is medication part of outpatient rehab?
It can be. When medication is part of your plan, a licensed psychiatrist prescribes it and reviews how it is working.
Is outpatient treatment right for someone with alcohol use disorder?
It can be, once withdrawal is over or was never a risk for you. Admissions can tell you whether detox should come first, and your plan can treat drinking and other drug use together.
How are co-occurring mental health conditions treated in outpatient rehab?
Co-occurring mental health conditions, like depression, anxiety or trauma, are treated in the same plan as the substance use. This is called dual diagnosis care, and it is offered at every outpatient level.
Can I live in sober living during outpatient rehab?
Yes, you can live in one of our staffed, sober supported living homes while you attend PHP or IOP. Admissions can tell you whether one would help, especially if family support at home is limited.
Can outpatient rehab be done online?
Yes. Outpatient therapy for substance use runs online through our virtual program, for people who cannot attend in person.
Does outpatient rehab work?
No program can promise an outcome, and NIDA's principles of effective treatment say no single approach suits everyone. They also say staying in treatment long enough is critical, which is why your level is matched to your needs.
Do I have to live in Orange County to attend?
No. Enhance is based in Tustin, in Orange County, where it runs PHP and IOP, and admissions can help you find the right program wherever you live.
How much does outpatient rehab cost out of pocket?
Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, your copay and the level of care your insurer approves. We cannot quote a price before checking your plan, so admissions checks it first.
Does health insurance cover outpatient rehab for drugs and alcohol in Orange County?
Enhance is in network with most insurance plans, but coverage depends on your own plan and the level your insurer approves. Admissions checks your benefits with the insurer, and a verification is not a guarantee of coverage.
