Compassionate Care For Mental Health & Addiction

Caring and understanding staff

Best IOP center in Orange County for a reason. Compassion made recovery possible for me—without stepping into a facility. Their virtual care was personal, flexible, and truly supportive. They saw me as a whole person, not just a patient. Can’t thank them enough.

Have a bit more to say about this IOP but in summary really grateful for Josh, Dr JP and their team of doctors and group facilitators for helping me through a difficult situation. I needed to work around my schdule with family and kids and their program was perfect for me. Maybe it's not ideal for everyone but for me it was exactly what I needed. The whole process from intake, insurance verification, admission, scheduling, I was kept up to date on everything. I met with the Doctor and he was very knowledgeable, spent an hour with me which was what I needed, someone and a program to show that they care. Would recommend this IOP to anyone who struggles with mental health and needs some support and doesn't want to drastically change their life commitments at the time. Thank you Josh and thank you Compassion IOP.

As a licensed therapist, I hold high standards when it comes to mental health care—and Compassion Recovery consistently exceeds them. I’ve had the privilege of referring clients to this facility, and I’ve witnessed firsthand the depth of care, clinical excellence, and integrity they bring to every aspect of treatment. The staff are well-trained snd lead with empathy and a genuine commitment to long-term healing. Their multidisciplinary team collaborates seamlessly to support clients through complex diagnoses and co-occurring disorders. What impresses me most is Compassion Recovery’s ability to meet clients where they are, while gently challenging them toward meaningful change. The therapeutic environment is safe, structured, and profoundly supportive—ideal for real transformation to take place. As a clinician, I trust Compassion Recovery implicitly and will continue to refer clients here without hesitation. They are truly setting the standard for compassionate, effective mental health care.

If you're struggling and looking for real genuine support in your recovery journey, Compassion Recovery Centers makes getting the help you need accessible and convenient. For the past 3 months, I have been a part of the Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and have witnessed personalized care, encouragement, and an incredibly skilled staff. This isn't just another program - it's a community that creates a warm, welcoming, safe place where you will never be alone during your healing process. Everyone deserves this level of support.

I want to share that this IOP program is amazing! The people who work there and are in charge have their client’s best interest at heart. Recommend to anyone needing help with mental health and/or substance use disorders. Again, great program lead by great people!

I started IOP with an open mind and was surprised on day one how Kendal made me feel welcomed. I felt that this program could work and it did. Thank you Kendal for all the tools and perspective and the extra effort you made to find a way to help each individual. Thank you Gilbert for your ability to help those of us who needed special assistance on any given night and thank you Tara for offering me such a safe space and helping me find out a bit about myself. Thanks to these wonderful people I feel like I'm going to be OK! P.S. A shout out the the night groupies! Always rooting for you.

Josh, the owner of Compassion Recovery Centers, truly lives up to the name—his kindness, empathy, and dedication to helping others are unmatched. He genuinely cares about every person who reaches out, offering support and hope even if they don’t end up admitting to his program. That kind of selfless compassion is rare and speaks volumes about the impact he has on those in need. If you’re looking for a place that truly prioritizes people and their well-being, Compassion Recovery Centers is an incredible resource.

Compassion is a Gem. Their virtual program is super convenient, amazing therapists, team, and overall amazing experience. I am a very busy person and this program is great for people with busy lives that need care. The whole team is amazing and is run very well. I Would highly recommend. Dr. Haidak is the BEST!
