Outpatient Alcohol Treatment in Los Angeles
For many people, the path forward doesn’t require residential care. Our outpatient programs provide the clinical intensity needed to address alcohol use disorder — on a schedule that works around your life.
Alcohol use disorder exists on a spectrum. Some people need the highest level of outpatient support — daily structured programming through PHP. Others are better served by IOP, which provides multiple hours of therapy several days a week while allowing them to return home each evening.
At Inneractions, we assess each person individually at intake to determine the right level of care and build a treatment plan that reflects the full clinical picture — including any co-occurring mental health conditions.
Our clinical team uses evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and relapse prevention planning. Group and individual therapy sessions run throughout the week.
What Treatment Includes
- Comprehensive intake assessment
- Individual therapy with a licensed clinician
- Group therapy — process groups and psychoeducation
- Psychiatric evaluation when clinically indicated
- Co-occurring disorder treatment
- Medication management if prescribed
- Family involvement when appropriate
- Discharge and aftercare planning
Two Levels of Outpatient Care
We offer both Intensive Outpatient and Partial Hospitalization programs, so treatment can start where the clinical need is and step down as progress is made.
Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
Multiple hours of therapy per week across several days. Clients return home each evening. Appropriate for those who need structure but have a stable home environment.
Partial Hospitalization (PHP)
Full-day programming Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. The highest level of outpatient care — for those who need more support without inpatient admission.
Virtual Options
California residents can access our IOP and PHP programs fully online, through our HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, from anywhere in the state.
Dual Diagnosis
Both levels include integrated mental health treatment. If anxiety, depression, trauma, or other conditions are part of the picture, we address them alongside alcohol use.
Our Clinical Approach
Lasting recovery from alcohol use requires more than stopping drinking. Our treatment addresses the patterns, co-occurring conditions, and circumstances that underlie it.
Evidence-Based Therapy
CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed approaches — delivered by licensed therapists in both group and individual formats throughout the week.
Psychiatric Support
Every client receives a psychiatric evaluation. If medication is part of the clinical picture, our team manages it and monitors it throughout treatment.
Group Therapy
Process groups, psychoeducation, and skills-based groups are central to treatment. Community and peer support have consistently shown to be key factors in recovery.
Aftercare Planning
Discharge isn’t the end of the process. We work with each client to build a realistic aftercare plan — connecting them with support systems, sober communities, and follow-up care.
Common Questions
Do I need to detox before starting an outpatient program?
Possibly — it depends on your current level of use and health history. Medical detox may be necessary before outpatient treatment for some people with alcohol dependence. We screen for this at intake and can help coordinate a referral if needed before you begin with us.
Is outpatient treatment appropriate for serious alcohol dependence?
It can be. PHP provides the clinical intensity that some people with serious dependence need — several hours of structured programming each day — while allowing them to remain in their home environment. We assess each person’s situation at intake to determine the right fit.
What if I also have depression, anxiety, or trauma alongside my alcohol use?
That’s common, and we’re set up to treat both. Our dual diagnosis program addresses co-occurring mental health conditions alongside alcohol use disorder — with psychiatric evaluation, medication management when needed, and trauma-informed therapy woven into treatment.
Does insurance cover alcohol rehab?
Most major plans — including Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of CA, Cigna, United Healthcare, and others — cover IOP and PHP-level treatment for alcohol use disorder. Call us and we’ll verify your benefits at no cost before you commit.
