In-person & Online Programs

Summary: Overland IOP provides structured outpatient mental health and addiction treatment through both in-person and virtual programs, ensuring that individuals across Los Angeles and throughout California can access evidence-based care in the format that fits their needs. Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) deliver the same clinical rigor, therapeutic modalities, and treatment team involvement whether a patient attends sessions at our Los Angeles facility or connects through our HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. In-person treatment offers the full clinical environment — direct interaction with therapists, peer connection in group settings, and immersion in a dedicated treatment space. Virtual treatment provides flexibility for individuals managing work, family, or transportation barriers while maintaining real-time engagement with licensed clinicians. Both formats include individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, and ACT. Overland IOP is available 24/7 to help individuals begin treatment — whether in person at our Los Angeles location or online from anywhere in California.

In-Person Treatment at Overland IOP in Los Angeles

Overland IOP’s in-person programs operate from our facility at 3415 Overland Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90034, providing a dedicated clinical environment where patients engage directly with their treatment team and peers. In-person attendance allows therapists to observe nonverbal communication, body language, and interpersonal dynamics in real time — clinical signals that inform treatment planning and help clinicians identify issues that patients may not yet be able to articulate.

Our in-person Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is structured around 3 hours of programming per day, 3 to 5 days per week, with morning, afternoon, and evening scheduling tracks available. IOP is designed for individuals who need a higher level of clinical support than traditional weekly therapy but do not require 24-hour supervision. Patients participate in individual therapy sessions, process-oriented group therapy, psychoeducation, and skills development — all while maintaining their daily responsibilities outside of treatment hours.

Our in-person Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides a more intensive level of care, with 6 hours of structured programming per day, 5 days per week. PHP serves individuals stepping down from inpatient or residential treatment, or those whose clinical needs require more comprehensive daily support than IOP alone. PHP includes the same therapeutic modalities as IOP — individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management — with additional clinical contact hours, more frequent provider check-ins, and deeper immersion in the treatment process.

Both programs treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health and addiction conditions, and other behavioral health concerns. Treatment plans are individualized based on clinical assessment and adjusted throughout the course of care as patients progress.

Virtual Treatment Through Overland IOP’s Telehealth Programs

Overland IOP’s virtual programs deliver the same clinical programming available at our in-person facility through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform accessible from anywhere in California. Virtual IOP and PHP sessions are conducted via live video with licensed clinicians — not pre-recorded content or automated modules. Patients interact with their therapists and group members in real time, maintaining the relational and therapeutic elements that make outpatient treatment effective.

Virtual treatment removes geographic and logistical barriers that prevent many individuals from accessing care. Patients who live outside of Los Angeles, have limited transportation, manage caregiving responsibilities, or cannot take extended time away from work can participate in structured outpatient programming without traveling to a physical facility. For individuals in early recovery or those managing acute mental health symptoms, the ability to receive treatment from a familiar and comfortable environment can also reduce the anxiety associated with entering a new clinical setting.

Online therapy at Overland IOP works like a traditional in-person session — the same therapeutic approaches, the same licensed providers, the same treatment planning process — with the only difference being that the patient and clinician are not in the same physical room. Our clinical team uses the latest telehealth technology and specialized platforms to ensure that sessions are secure, private, and clinically effective. All HIPAA privacy regulations are strictly enforced across every virtual interaction.

Virtual IOP follows the same structure as in-person IOP: 3 hours per day, 3 to 5 days per week. Virtual PHP provides 6 hours of daily programming, 5 days per week. Patients in both virtual programs receive individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and access to the full range of evidence-based modalities offered at our Los Angeles facility, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Choosing Between In-Person and Virtual Treatment

The right format depends on individual clinical needs, personal circumstances, and treatment goals. In-person treatment may be the better fit for individuals who benefit from physical separation between their treatment environment and home environment, who thrive with face-to-face interpersonal connection, or whose clinical presentation benefits from direct observation by the treatment team. Virtual treatment may be more appropriate for individuals managing scheduling constraints, those located outside of Los Angeles, or patients who feel more comfortable engaging in therapy from their own space. In many cases, patients can transition between in-person and virtual programming as their needs evolve — starting with in-person PHP, stepping down to in-person IOP, and continuing with virtual IOP as they reintegrate into daily routines.

Overland IOP’s admissions team is available 24/7 to help individuals and families determine which program format is the best fit. Help is one call away — whether you are in Los Angeles or anywhere in California.

Overland IOP’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides 3 hours of structured clinical programming per day, 3 to 5 days per week, designed for individuals who need more support than weekly therapy but can maintain daily responsibilities outside of treatment.

Q2: Is virtual IOP as effective as in-person treatment?

Research supports the clinical effectiveness of telehealth-delivered outpatient treatment for mental health and substance use disorders. Virtual IOP at Overland provides the same licensed clinicians, therapeutic modalities, treatment planning, and real-time group and individual sessions as our in-person program — the only difference is the delivery format. Virtual sessions are conducted via live video on a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, maintaining the relational and therapeutic elements essential to effective treatment. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) recognizes telehealth as a validated approach to delivering mental health services, particularly for individuals facing barriers to in-person care.

Both in-person and virtual programs at Overland IOP treat a range of mental health and substance use conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, bipolar disorder, alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, stimulant addiction, co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders (dual diagnosis), codependency, and other behavioral health concerns. Treatment plans are individualized based on comprehensive clinical assessment and adjusted throughout the course of care as patients progress.

Q4: Can I switch between in-person and virtual treatment at Overland IOP?

Yes. Overland IOP supports transitions between in-person and virtual programming as a patient’s clinical needs and personal circumstances evolve.

Your treatment team will work with you to determine when a transition between formats is clinically appropriate.
