01The program

Outpatient treatment in Woodland Hills, in three steps

What is outpatient treatment at Arision?

With outpatient treatment, you get care on weekdays and sleep at home. At Arision, all three levels meet from 9am to 3pm. You start in PHP. Then you step down to IOP and OP with the same team.

Step down, not drop off: about 90 days across all three outpatient levels, paced by what you need.

Partial hospitalization

Who it fits

People fresh out of detox or residential care, or whose symptoms need daily attention.

Where you start

This is where everyone starts at Arision. It’s the fullest day, with the most contact with your care team.

What stays the same

You go home every afternoon, and your plan is written with you after your assessment.

About PHP

Intensive outpatient

Who it fits

People who are steadier and ready for more independence.

What’s different

The days and hours match PHP, with a lighter clinical load. Case management eases to once a week.

What stays the same

Same team, same groups, same rooms.

About IOP

Outpatient

Who it fits

People who no longer need daily structure, most often after IOP.

What’s different

You come in fewer days, set with your team. One-on-one therapy moves to once a week.

What stays the same

Your team stays the same. If things get harder, you can step back up to IOP.

About OP

Arision doesn’t offer detox or live-in care. The levels follow the American Society of Addiction Medicine.

02Who it fits

Functioning isn’t the same as fine

Plenty of people who reach out to Arision still clock in every morning. From the outside, life looks handled. Inside, the drinking or using has become the thing holding it together, and that’s exhausting. These four questions show whether Arision fits, or where to go instead.

  1. Who is care for?

  2. Are you drinking heavily every day, using right now, or in withdrawal?

  3. Can you come in person, 9am to 3pm, five weekdays to start?

  4. What kind of insurance do you have?

Answer all four

Each answer shows what it means right away. At the end, you can see where you stand.

Arision may be a fit

Nothing here rules Arision out. Call admissions to confirm. They can ask a few questions and verify your benefits.

A few things to sort out first

That’s normal. Admissions can work through each one with you in one private call.

Another program may fit better

It’s better to know now. Follow the note under your answer, or call and admissions can help you look for the right place.

Call (747) 320-9575

Nothing you pick is saved or sent.

This is a starting point for outpatient care. It isn’t a decision. Our admissions team uses standard clinical rules on every call. Only a clinician can say which kind of care is right for you.

03A program day

What happens between 9 and 3

Here’s a real outpatient program day, start to finish. Tap the dial or the list to walk through it.

1 / 5

9:00 · about 1 hr

Coffee, breakfast and Brain Wake

Walk in, grab coffee and breakfast, and settle in. Then comes Brain Wake, a lively first hour of questions that gets everyone talking.

10:00 · 20 min

A break in the courtyard

Stretch, step outside to the courtyard and refill your coffee before the next group.

10:30 · 1.5 hrs

Group two

A longer group with a new facilitator and a new angle on what you’re working through.

Midday

Lunch

Lunch is provided on program days. It’s a real break before the afternoon.

Afternoon · 1.5–2 hrs

Process group

Mostly process groups: real talk about what’s happening in your life and your recovery. Up to three facilitators can lead one.

About 4 to 4½ hours of each program day is group work, and a different facilitator runs every group.

In outpatient treatment, you also meet your therapist one-on-one, and a session can run as long as three hours when the work calls for it. At 3pm you go home and put the day’s skills to work in real life. Next time you’re in, you bring back what happened.

04What we treat

Addiction and mental health, treated together

Panic that a drink calms down. A low mood that pills lift for a while. When the two feed each other, it’s called a co-occurring disorderCo-occurring disordersHaving a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder at the same time. It’s another name for dual diagnosis.Source: SAMHSA , or dual diagnosis. Tap each option to see why Arision treats both at once.

An illustration of the idea, not a prediction. Everyone’s path is different.

Each one feeds the other

Left alone, the two can keep each other going. Low mood or anxiety can lead to using, and using can make those feelings worse. Pick a way to treat them and watch what happens.

Progress, then a pull back down

Work on substance use starts, but the mental health side is still untreated. NIDA notes that people who feel anxious, stressed or low may use alcohol or drugs to feel better.

Progress, then a pull back down

Therapy and medicine can help, but ongoing use keeps working against them. NIDA notes that substance use can make mental health conditions worse.

Both sides move together

NIDA says it’s usually better to treat co-occurring conditions at the same time. At Arision, one team works on both. Source: NIDA.

07Insurance

Out-of-network, explained plainly

PPO plans our patients have used

  • Aetna
  • Anthem Blue Cross
  • Blue Cross Blue Shield PPOs: CA, TX, FL, IL, SC, OK, NC, TN

  • Cigna
  • UnitedHealthcare
  • Optum · United Behavioral Health
  • UMR
  • Meritain Health
  • GEHA

We're out-of-network with every one of them. Your exact policy decides what it pays for, which is why anyone who calls can get a free benefits check. Insurer names are trademarks of their owners.

08FAQ

Questions people ask before they call

Plain answers to the questions people search most about outpatient treatment. Search them, or call and ask a real person.

Programs

What is an intensive outpatient program (IOP)?

An intensive outpatient program, or IOP, is set addiction treatment during the day while a person lives at home. Doctors and insurers call it ASAM Level 2.1. It's more than weekly therapy and less than partial hospitalization. SAMHSA publishes a full federal manual on IOPs. Arision's IOP in Woodland Hills meets weekdays, 9am to 3pm.

How long does outpatient addiction treatment last?

A typical stay at Arision lasts about 90 days, moving from PHP to IOP to OP. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that most people need at least three months of treatment to cut back or stop. Your needs set the pace, and your team reviews your plan often. Insurers may also review the length of care.

Can I work while in outpatient addiction treatment?

Working during outpatient addiction treatment depends on the level of care. At Arision, PHP and IOP meet weekdays, 9am to 3pm, so most people with day jobs take time off. The federal Family and Medical Leave Act and California's CFRA may protect a job during that time. OP meets one to five days, so it fits more easily around work.

Do I need detox before outpatient treatment?

If you're drinking or using right now, Arision's protocol is detox first. Suddenly stopping alcohol or benzodiazepines after heavy daily use can cause dangerous withdrawal, even seizures. Arision doesn't provide detox. Admissions helps you find a licensed detox program and plans your start after. If someone is seizing, can't be woken or is struggling to breathe, call 911.

What happens if I relapse during outpatient treatment?

If a relapse happens during outpatient treatment at Arision, the protocol is detox first. A review that shows active addiction leads to discharge, with help reaching detox or a higher level of care. For an overdose or seizure, call 911. For thoughts of self-harm, call or text 988. The National Institute on Drug Abuse says relapse is common.

Insurance

Does insurance pay for outpatient addiction treatment?
Many PPO plans can help pay for outpatient addiction treatment. Arision accepts PPO plans only and can't accept Medicare, Medi-Cal or HMO plans. Arision bills your insurer. Admissions checks your benefits at no cost before you start.
Does Arision accept Medicare, Medi-Cal or HMO plans?

No, Arision can't accept Medicare, Medi-Cal or HMO plans. Arision works only with PPO policies that include out-of-network benefits. For Medi-Cal, call LA County's substance use helpline at 1-800-854-7771, option 2. With Medicare or any other plan, search FindTreatment.gov or call SAMHSA's free helpline at 1-800-662-4357.

Privacy & credentials

Will my employer find out I went to addiction treatment?

An employer won't find out about addiction treatment from Arision unless you sign a release. Two federal rules protect your records: HIPAA and the stricter 42 CFR Part 2. Rare exceptions include a medical emergency. For time off, you decide what to share. Your employer may ask for a leave form, and staff can help you fill it out.

How can I verify Arision Treatment Center's license?

Arision Treatment Center's license can be checked in public records. Arision is Certified by the State Department of Health Care Services as an outpatient program, No. 191236AP, expires 5/31/2027. The Joint Commission lists it under HCO ID 698018. The federal NPI registry lists Arision, Inc. as provider 1790475036. LegitScript certifies Arision as an addiction treatment provider.

Who owns Arision Treatment Center?

Arision is owned by people with lived experience of addiction and recovery. About half of the staff are in recovery too. A credentialed clinical and medical team provides the care. Arision is Certified by the State Department of Health Care Services as an outpatient program, No. 191236AP, expires 5/31/2027. The Joint Commission accredits it, and LegitScript certifies it.

Can I tour Arision Treatment Center before I start?

Yes, Arision Treatment Center offers tours before treatment starts. You, a family member or a referring provider can see the lounge, group rooms, studio and courtyard. Tours happen during program hours. They're booked ahead to protect the privacy of people in care. Call (747) 320-9575 at any hour, or email info@arisiontreatmentcenter.com.

Families & referrals

How do I get a loved one into addiction treatment?

Getting a loved one into addiction treatment often starts with a call for yourself. Arision's admissions staff talk with families before their person agrees to anything. Learn the options, then pick a calm, sober moment to talk. Describe what you've seen and why you're scared, without labels or ultimatums. The CRAFT approach teaches these skills and has research behind it.

How do I help someone who refuses addiction treatment?

Someone who refuses addiction treatment may become more open over time, because readiness changes. In California, adults generally can't be made to attend outpatient treatment. Keep your limits steady and repeat your offer later. Al-Anon, Nar-Anon or a family therapist can support you. If they're in physical danger, call 911. If they mention suicide, call or text 988.

How do I refer a patient to Arision Treatment Center?

To refer a patient to Arision Treatment Center, call admissions at (747) 320-9575, 24/7. Share substance use history, mental health needs, current level of care and insurance. Arision accepts PPO plans only, not Medicare, Medi-Cal or HMO plans. For patients leaving detox or residential care, call before the discharge date. Arision does not pay for or accept payment for referrals.
