California Virtual IOP:
Online Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in California
California Virtual IOP is a fully online Intensive Outpatient Program for California residents who need more support than weekly therapy but do not require inpatient care.
What is California Virtual IOP?
Clients attend live, therapist-led individual and group sessions on a HIPAA-compliant video platform while continuing work, school, or family responsibilities. An assessment helps determine whether virtual IOP may fit. Details can vary; contact admissions to confirm current information.
Who this program is for
IOP may suit adults in California seeking more structure than routine outpatient care while living at home — including people managing anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns who are stable enough for outpatient telehealth. Fit depends on your needs, an assessment, level of care, and eligibility. The program is available to California residents.
If you are in crisis or there is an immediate safety concern, call 911 or 988.
What a typical week can look like
Most clients attend structured sessions several days per week. Our existing Virtual IOP guide describes a common range of about 3–5 days and about 2–3 hours per session, for a program length that often spans about 6–12 weeks and is adjusted to clinical need. Care commonly includes group therapy, individual therapy, skills practice, and care coordination.
