Intensive outpatient mental health treatment requires individuals to obtain at least 9 hours of group and/or individual therapy per week which is divided up into 3-hour sessions 3 days to 5 days per week, for a duration of 12-16 weeks.
Akua Mind Body’s Outpatient Treatment Program caters to individuals with substance use disorder, mental health disorder, or co-occurring disorder who are in search of an environment that provides structure, accountability, and community.
Mental health disorders include mood disorders, specifically depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, trauma disorders including posttraumatic stress disorder, psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and personality disorders. Mental health disorders do not discriminate against age, gender, sexual orientation, or social or economic status. However, individuals in the LGBTQ community, non-Caucasian individuals, and individuals living in underprivileged economic communities are more likely to develop a mental health disorder and concurrently less likely to have access to treatment.

Substance use disorder is a medical condition characterized by difficulty controlling or stopping drug or alcohol use despite negative consequences in your personal, professional, or physical health. At Akua Mind Body’s Newport Beach outpatient program, we treat a wide range of substance use disorders including alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, stimulant use disorder, benzodiazepine dependency, and co-occurring polysubstance presentations.
Depending on the drug of abuse, overdose, and withdrawal can both result in death. Therefore you must seek substance use treatment in Orange County if experiencing any of the above signs or symptoms. For example, withdrawing from alcohol or benzodiazepines can be lethal and opioid overdose is also fatal.
Overdose and withdrawal are not the only life-threatening consequences of substance use. Whether it is cocaine, benzodiazepines, or opioids, substance use disorders can wreak havoc on many aspects of your life. Addiction can break up families, destroy relationships, and ruin your career, especially if there are legal consequences. Substance use treatment in Orange County can help individuals work through their addiction and any underlying co-occurring mental health disorders. In addition, substance use treatment in Orange County can help you enter your recovery journey by providing healthy coping tools, medications, and psychotherapy approaches to curb your cravings and urges to use drugs.

We offer our services in a comfortable and safe treatment setting in an urban county surrounded by sweeping coastal views, nature trails, and plenty of entertainment venues, including restaurants, outdoor shopping malls, and comedy clubs. Drug rehab centers in Orange County offer group, family, and individual therapy sessions while we use evidence-based therapeutic approaches, often combined with medications.
Alcohol use can be challenging to pinpoint because it can be easier to hide than drugs since alcohol is a legal substance purchased at the supermarket. Alcohol use disorder can be highly damaging to your personal and professional life. The signs and symptoms cannot be hidden forever, especially if you are experiencing hangovers and more moderate withdrawals. For many individuals, a couple of drinks to unwind, celebrate a special occasion, or enjoy with friends can be okay; however, when drinking becomes excessive, alcohol is used for boredom, to cope with challenges, or avoid withdrawals. The individual most likely has an alcohol use disorder. Many individuals with alcohol use disorder will use alcohol as a crutch to deal with social situations and alcohol, in this scenario, is often referred to as a “social lubricant.”Individuals with alcohol use disorder may also use alcohol as a crutch to deal with stress or daily hardships. Instead of facing these problems head-on, with integrity, alcohol is often a way to push the issues under the rug.
Alcohol use disorder can result in many severe acute and chronic medical conditions, and alcohol withdrawal can be deadly. Individuals with alcohol use disorder should not attempt to stop drinking abruptly without clinical guidance, as alcohol withdrawal can be medically serious and requires proper evaluation. If you are currently drinking heavily or experiencing withdrawal symptoms, the first step is a clinical assessment to determine the appropriate level of care. For those who require clinically supervised detox before outpatient treatment, Akua Mind Body can coordinate that process and then transition you directly into our Newport Beach IOP or PHP program so there is no gap in your care. Learn more about Akua’s clinically supervised detox program. For individuals who have already completed detox or whose alcohol use disorder does not require medically supervised withdrawal management, Akua Mind Body’s Newport Beach outpatient program provides alcohol use disorder treatment through individual therapy, group therapy, medication management, and evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based relapse prevention.
An essential goal of psychotherapy is to teach the individual healthy coping mechanisms to help overcome future stressors instead of using alcohol to cope. Alcohol use disorder is a disease of loneliness, as it impairs your ability to socialize and form healthy relationships. As a result, individuals with alcohol use disorder usually alienate themselves from family and friends and turn to alcohol to cope with their feelings. One of the critical components of alcohol use treatment in Orange County is that it takes place in group settings to restore the social skills that are ripped away during this addiction cycle. Group therapy and discussion allow individuals to come together and learn to engage in healthy community support by communicating, trusting, and listening to each other.

Akua’s Newport Beach location specializes in outpatient treatment, including Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programs for mental health and addiction. For residential care, our Costa Mesa facility, just minutes away, provides 24/7 residential treatment. If you need clinically supervised detox before beginning outpatient care, our admissions team can coordinate that transition as well.
Partial Hospitalization (PHP) is the more intensive outpatient option, typically involving 5 to 6 hours of structured programming five days per week. It is appropriate for clients who need significant clinical support but do not require overnight residential care. Intensive Outpatient (IOP) is a step down from PHP, with sessions typically running 3 hours per day, 3 to 5 days per week, and is designed to integrate with work, school, and family life. Your admissions team will help determine the right starting point based on your clinical needs.
Yes. We work with most major commercial insurance carriers and provide same-day, confidential insurance verification. Call (949) 288-8945 to verify your benefits before your first appointment.
Yes. Akua’s Newport Beach outpatient team provides mental health treatment for anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and other conditions, independent of addiction treatment when clinically appropriate. Contact us to discuss which level of care fits your situation.
Akua provides a higher level of clinical intensity than a traditional outpatient private practice. Our multidisciplinary team, including licensed therapists, case managers, and psychiatric support, delivers coordinated, structured treatment through PHP and IOP programming, which provides significantly more clinical contact hours per week than individual therapy sessions alone. This level of structure is particularly effective for individuals who have not made progress through weekly therapy alone.
Yes, fully. All treatment is protected under federal HIPAA law. We do not share any information about your enrollment, attendance, or progress without your explicit written consent. Our admissions team is trained to conduct all conversations with complete discretion, including for executives, professionals, and public figures for whom privacy is a priority.
This depends on your current substance use and health history. Individuals who are actively using or at risk of withdrawal may need clinically supervised detox before beginning outpatient programming. Akua’s admissions team will assess your situation and, if detox is the right first step, coordinate that process and your transition into Newport Beach PHP or IOP so there is no gap in care. Call (949) 288-8945 to speak with an admissions counselor.
Outpatient treatment at Akua’s Newport Beach facility is well suited for adults who have a stable living environment and support system, who need structured clinical care but cannot commit to full-time residential treatment, or who are stepping down from a higher level of care such as residential or PHP. It is also a strong option for working professionals, parents, and others who need flexible scheduling while maintaining meaningful clinical progress.
