Wondering if your insurance covers intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment? At Awakenings Treatment Center in Agoura Hills, California, we make quality mental health and addiction care accessible,  including through Medi-Cal.

On the whole, intensive outpatient rehab (IOP) in Agoura Hills, California, is more affordable than inpatient treatment. Because clients do not reside at the treatment center, costs are significantly lower—while still providing access to professional therapeutic care. Your final out-of-pocket cost depends on your insurance provider, plan benefits, and the treatment center you choose.

If you’re considering treatment for yourself or a loved one, it’s important to understand the available options and how insurance coverage works.

Understanding Intensive Outpatient Treatment

An IOP is a structured treatment program that involves regular counseling and group therapy sessions several days per week—usually three days a week for several hours each day, over the course of 8–12 weeks. Intensive outpatient treatment is ideal for individuals transitioning from residential care or those needing more structure and accountability than traditional outpatient therapy provides.

When evaluating programs, don’t focus solely on cost. Look closely at:

• Quality and credentials of clinical staff

• Program length and hours of operation

• Therapeutic methods and evidence-based care

• Client testimonials and outcomes

• Facility reputation and environment

Will Insurance Cover an IOP?

Most private, public, and group insurance plans provide some level of coverage for intensive outpatient treatment and dual-diagnosis care. Under the Affordable Care Act, all Marketplace plans must cover behavioral health services, including outpatient substance use and mental health treatment.

To understand your specific coverage, contact your insurance provider and ask for a list of in-network programs. You can also reach out directly to Awakenings Treatment Center to verify your benefits and learn more about your options.

Depending on your plan, you may be responsible for copayments, a portion of treatment costs, or both.
