Can a Laguna Hills resident complete the entire IOP online instead of driving to S Pointe Dr?

Yes. The whole curriculum runs over secure video, so you never have to make the short trip to our 23297 S Pointe Dr office if home suits you better. You need only be physically located in California during each session, which Laguna Hills residents are; we verify your location at intake.

What does a Virtual IOP session look like for someone living in Laguna Hills?

You join the same CBT and DBT skills groups, process groups, and individual sessions from home over secure video — identical content to what runs at our local office. We assess fit at intake and recommend in-person PHP or IOP when that is the safer match.

Why Virtual IOP works for Laguna Hills

Even though our office is local, some Laguna Hills adults — those without reliable transportation, with mobility limitations, or with rigid work schedules — find a video-based format easier to sustain. California licensure rules require you to be physically located in California during each session, which every Laguna Hills resident is.

Virtual IOP runs the same three-evenings-a-week schedule as in-person IOP, with the same CBT and DBT skills groups, process groups, and individual sessions. Medication management visits happen by secure telehealth as well.

For people in Laguna Hills who want the structure of IOP but need the flexibility of attending from home, Virtual IOP removes the commute entirely while keeping the clinical intensity intact. It is also a natural bridge if you start in person and then need to travel within California for work.

Because substance use and mental-health symptoms are treated together, Virtual IOP includes integrated dual-diagnosis programming. We verify that telehealth is clinically appropriate for you at intake — higher-acuity situations may be better served by in-person PHP first.

What Virtual IOP involves

Virtual IOP runs 3 evenings/week via secure video. The same IOP curriculum delivered via secure video for California residents. Manifest is an outpatient program — not a medical detox or residential facility; when supervised withdrawal is needed first, we coordinate a referral. Insurance verification is free and confidential, and no referral is required to begin.

Virtual IOP is part of a connected continuum of care. Many adults move between levels as their needs change — stepping up to Virtual IOP from weekly therapy, or stepping down to it after a more intensive level. You can read the full program details on our Virtual IOP page.
