Our Levels of Care
Outpatient treatment programs for drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health disorders, at Casa Palmera are designed for individuals who require less structure than that provided by inpatient or residential settings. Located in San Diego, Casa Palmera offers comprehensive outpatient treatment through two programs: the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), or day treatment program, which meets five days a week, and the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), which meets three evenings a week. Additionally, we offer a weekly continuing care group on Tuesday evenings, available at no extra charge for our alumni.
Patients also have the option to step down to a lower level of care after a period of stabilization at a higher level, based on medical necessity. Partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient programming is ideal for individuals who are capable of participating successfully in regularly scheduled sessions during the day or evenings and are not considered to be at medical or psychiatric risk.
PHP is designed for those who still need a high level of support and structure throughout the day but are considered stable enough to sleep at home or in a supportive living environment on evenings and weekends. PHP operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM. All groups are led by licensed professionals.
Casa Palmera’s IOP enables our patients to continue their daytime responsibilities, employment, etc. The goal of IOP is to provide treatment and support to help individuals develop the skills and abilities to lead successful and productive lives, which empowers them to function more independently and responsibly.
Casa Palmera’s weekly continuing care group was designed to offer ongoing support to those individuals who have successfully completed treatment. Continuing care is offered to our alumni at no additional change for one year. Continuing care operates Tuesdays from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. All groups are lead by licensed professionals.
