California Virtual IOP for Drug & Alcohol Addiction

With 10+ years of experience treating substance use disorders like drug & alcohol addictions, Gratitude Lodge is a trusted and compassion-based program, founded by individuals in recovery themselves.

We recognize the importance of accessible addiction and mental health care for Californians, which is why we offer our clients the option to attend treatment via our sister program’s top-tier Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (VIOP).

Although inpatient treatment is ideal, we understand that not everyone can be physically present. Our VIOP clients receive the same level of support as in-person clients, including a customized and clinically backed approach designed to address both addiction and co-occurring conditions like severe anxiety, depression, trauma, and other common behavioral health challenges.

Each participant receives an individualized treatment plan, created in collaboration with a primary therapist, and supported through consistent weekly individual sessions delivered through live video calls. This ensures focused attention on each person’s unique recovery path.

Our sister program offers VIOP access to all California residents and includes:

  • Daily group therapy & individual therapy
  • EMDR Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) sessions
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) sessions
  • Privacy & Confidentiality (HIPPA Compliant)
  • & More

What Is Virtual IOP?

Virtual IOP stands for Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program, a form of addiction and mental health treatment that takes place entirely online, facilitated by expert therapists and clinical staff.

Unlike traditional Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs), a Virtual IOP provides treatment at home for those who cannot attend rehab sessions in person. Clients engage in therapy sessions, group meetings, holistic treatments, and more through live video calls, all without leaving their home. These online services include psychiatric evaluations, personalized therapy, and coping strategies designed to help individuals manage mental health conditions and navigate daily life stressors more effectively.

Virtual IOP is HIPAA compliant and operates on a private server, ensuring a secure environment for you to share your experiences and connect with others.

How Effective Is VIOP?

While in-person treatment is often recommended, Virtual IOPs offer an effective alternative for those seeking recovery who are unable to attend treatment on-campus. The effectiveness of a VIOP can depend on several factors, including:

  • Quality of the program
  • Client’s level of commitment
  • Severity of the addiction (with inpatient therapy suggested for more severe cases)
  • A stable internet connection

Rest assuredyou are in good hands during your virtual treatment at our sister program’s VIOP. Not only do we see success first hand in virtual clients, but there are also studies to back up the efficacy of virtual care [1] in behavioral health.
