Outpatient Levels of Care at Recovery is a Beach
Which level works best for your schedule in Camarillo? At Recovery is a Beach, PHP offers the longest time in care; IOP provides scheduled sessions throughout the week; and OP offers fewer visits for ongoing support.
Outpatient Program (OP)
​PHP is our most intensive outpatient level. You attend daytime sessions on specific days, which is helpful in early recovery when you need more support and check-ins. After each day’s care, you return home.
IOP is a good option if you need regular sessions but still have work or school. You come in several times a week at scheduled times. Between visits, you practice coping skills and share your progress at the next session.
OP works well if you’re stable and want ongoing support. Visits are weekly or every other week, based on your needs. You review your goals, address any new risks, and stay accountable. OP can follow IOP or PHP.

Drug Use Disorders We Treat in Our Outpatient Program
Recovery is a Beach offers outpatient care in Camarillo for opioid, stimulant, and sedative use disorders. Each type affects sleep, work, and safety differently. We begin with an intake check and set weekly goals based on your needs.
Opioid Use Disorder
Opioids increase the risk of overdose, and fentanyl is found in many supplies. Prescription opioids like oxycodone and hydrocodone can also lead to dependence. Some people start after surgery and continue seeking relief. Our outpatient care covers withdrawal warning signs, safe routines, and quick response when risks increase.
Stimulant Use Disorder
Stimulants can lead to long binges and hard crashes. Drugs like methamphetamine, cocaine, crack cocaine, and misused Adderall drive these cycles. During these times, sleep and appetite drop, and anger can spike. Money problems and risky choices can happen quickly. Our sessions focus on binge triggers, practical steps, and weekly check-ins.
Sedative Use Disorder
Benzodiazepines such as Xanax, Ativan, Valium, and Klonopin can cause strong dependence. Stopping suddenly can lead to severe symptoms, and the risk increases if mixed with opioids. Our program begins with safety checks for tapering, medication coordination if needed, and close follow-up during early changes.
Dual Diagnosis Support in Outpatient Treatment
Dual diagnosis support addresses both drug use and mental health symptoms, also known as co-occurring disorders. Many people deal with anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep loss, or mood swings that can increase cravings. Outpatient care treats both issues in one plan and sets practical weekly goals.
Care begins with a mental health assessment and a written treatment plan. Sessions track your symptoms, triggers, and risk of returning to use. Medication management can help with mood, sleep, or panic if needed. Outpatient treatment also includes care coordination, safety check-ins, and referrals for extra support when needed. Call to schedule your intake and review next steps.
What Our Outpatient Program Includes
The Recovery is a Beach outpatient program includes four parts: individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and educational workshops. Each part fits your weekly schedule while you live at home. The goal is steady sessions, practicing skills between visits, and a plan you can stick to.
Individual therapy
​Dual diagnosis therapy addresses addiction and mental health conditions together. Depression, anxiety, and trauma often contribute to substance use. Integrated treatment improves stability and reduces relapse risk.
Group therapy
Group therapy offers practice, feedback, and support from others in recovery. You review your week, spot high-risk moments, and practice coping skills. Hearing about others’ experiences can help you feel less alone. You leave each session with clear steps for the days ahead.
Family therapy
Family therapy helps address conflicts at home that might lead to a return to use. Sessions set clear boundaries, define support roles, and make sure everyone understands the plan. The focus is on safety, good communication, and steps you can take between visits.
Educational workshops
Educational workshops cover practical topics related to drug recovery. Sessions include relapse warning signs, overdose risk, medication safety, and sleep routines. You learn what to look out for at home, bring questions to your next visit, and adjust your plan as needed.
Evidence-based therapies used in outpatient care
At Recovery is a Beach, our clinicians use evidence-based therapies in outpatient care. CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapy are all part of our treatment. Each approach helps with different issues that can lead to use, such as negative thoughts, impulsive choices, or trauma, while you live at home.
Trauma-focused therapy
CBT helps you notice the thoughts that drive your actions. You look at what happened, what you thought, and what you did next. Then you practice responding differently. In outpatient care, CBT addresses stress, boredom, shame, and anger that can lead to a slip. You track triggers, urges, and what worked, then adjust your plan.
DBT teaches skills to manage strong emotions and impulsive choices. It covers distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and relationship skills to reduce conflict at home. In outpatient care, DBT helps when panic, irritability, or mood swings lead to quick decisions. You practice small steps to slow down, reduce arguments, and handle urges without using.
Trauma-focused therapy helps with symptoms that keep your body on high alert, like nightmares, flashbacks, hypervigilance, shutdown, and avoidance. The pace is steady and focused on safety. In outpatient care, this therapy reduces trauma stress that can trigger cravings or relapses. It helps you sleep better, react more calmly, and build safer routines.
Medication management and clinical support
Medication management in outpatient care includes reviewing your medications, checking for side effects, and monitoring safety. We look at your current medication list, any missed doses, and possible risky combinations. If changes are needed, we work with your prescriber and keep track of follow-up.
Clinical support includes symptom checks, mental health assessment, and withdrawal safety screening. It also covers referrals and care coordination with outside medical providers when needed. This support can help when sleep problems, panic, depression symptoms, or cravings raise relapse risk. If you have questions about medication support in our outpatient program, call and book a visit to review what you take and what you are feeling.

Relapse prevention and aftercare planning

Together, we make a list of warning signs and a trigger plan with coping steps and 2–3 people you can contact when urges come up.
Aftercare planning begins early, not just on your last day. We help you set up your next level of care, schedule follow-ups, and find support groups and recovery resources near your home. If you need outside referrals, we document names and next steps. Ask Recovery is a Beach about your aftercare plan during treatment.t.
