Recovery Starts With the Right Level of Care

Choosing treatment can feel overwhelming. You may have heard terms like inpatient, outpatient, intensive outpatient (IOP), or partial hospitalization program (PHP) and wondered which one is right for you.

A Partial Hospitalization Program California offers a high level of clinical support without requiring you to live at a treatment center. It provides structured therapy during the day while allowing you to return home each evening.

At Compassion Recovery Centers, our PHP is designed for adults experiencing mental health conditions, substance use disorders, or both. Every treatment plan is personalized to your unique needs, goals, and schedule.

What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is one of the highest levels of outpatient care available. It provides comprehensive treatment for people who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy but does not require 24-hour inpatient hospitalization.

During PHP, you’ll participate in a structured schedule that may include:

Individual therapy
Group therapy
Family therapy
Psychiatric evaluation and medication management
Evidence-based therapies
Relapse prevention
Wellness and life skills development

At the end of each treatment day, you’ll return home or to a supportive living environment, allowing you to practice healthy coping skills in everyday life while continuing intensive clinical care.

Virtual and In-Person PHP Options

One size does not fit everyone. That’s why Compassion Recovery Centers offers flexible treatment options to meet your needs.

In-Person PHP

Receive face-to-face treatment at one of our Southern California locations:

Our in-person program provides structured daily therapy, psychiatric support, group counseling, and individualized treatment in a welcoming clinical environment.

Virtual PHP

If attending treatment in person isn’t practical, our Virtual PHP allows you to receive the same high-quality clinical care from home.

Our virtual program serves adults throughout California, making treatment more accessible for individuals balancing work, family responsibilities, transportation challenges, or other commitments.

Who Can Benefit From PHP?

A Partial Hospitalization Program California may be appropriate if you:

Need more support than weekly therapy provides
Are stepping down from inpatient or residential treatment
Want intensive care without an overnight stay
Are experiencing worsening symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, or other mental health conditions
Need treatment for both mental health and substance use (dual diagnosis)
Have a safe and supportive home environment

Our admissions team performs a comprehensive assessment to determine whether PHP is the right level of care for your situation.

Conditions We Treat

Our PHP provides evidence-based treatment for a wide range of conditions, including:

What Our Clients Say

Melissa Caldwell

Caring and understanding staff

Daniel M

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.

Maza Holdings

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.

Tara Edwards

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.

Brenda Roney

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.

Carlos Cervantes

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!

Mike Magallanes

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.

Lorena Wade

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.
