Outpatient Treatment Built Around Your Life
Founded in 2013 in Encino, CA — serving individuals and families with flexible, evidence-based intensive outpatient care. Joint Commission accredited. DHCS licensed.
Rooted in the San Fernando Valley Since 2013
inneractions was founded by Loree Cohen, LCSW and Angela Rukule, MS, ED, MFT — two clinicians who saw a need for flexible, evidence-based outpatient treatment that didn’t ask people to put their lives on hold to seek help.
What began as a small intensive outpatient program in the San Fernando Valley has grown into a clinically supervised treatment center serving individuals across California and nationwide through our Virtual IOP program. Our foundation has never changed: meet people where they are, remove barriers to care, and support the whole person.
inneractions is certified by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and accredited by the Joint Commission — a designation fewer than 15% of behavioral health programs nationwide achieve.
Treating the Whole Person, Not Just the Symptoms
We believe that substance use and mental health challenges rarely exist in isolation. Lasting recovery begins when we understand and address the underlying emotional, cognitive, and relational patterns that drive them.
Root-Cause Treatment
We help each person identify the underlying beliefs and experiences that contribute to addictive patterns — not just manage symptoms. Real change starts with understanding.
Evidence-Based Care
Our clinical approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based modalities — applied by licensed clinicians who specialize in co-occurring disorders.
Hope & Unconditional Support
We believe in the capacity for lasting change — even in the most difficult circumstances. Our team meets every person with compassion, without judgment, and without pressure.
Designed to Fit Your Life
Seeking treatment shouldn’t mean stopping everything. inneractions was built to make evidence-based care accessible — around real schedules, real lives.
Flexible Scheduling
Morning, afternoon, and evening program options structured around work, school, and family responsibilities — so treatment fits your life, not the other way around.
Virtual IOP Nationwide
Our Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program delivers the same clinical quality as in-person care — available nationwide.
Dual Diagnosis Expertise
We specialize in co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders — treating addiction and underlying conditions like anxiety, depression, and trauma together.
Joint Commission Accredited
Our accreditation reflects a commitment to quality, safety, and continuous improvement — a standard maintained through regular independent review.
