California prime provided the necessary tools I needed to get sober. They were a tremendous resource for my mental well being and my ability to make lifestyle changes. I would recommend them to whoever is in need whether it be mental health or physical and emotional sobriety.Posted on BradyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I successfully completed my program at California Prime in 2019. The experience was truly exceptional. If you are seeking a place to begin your journey towards recovery from substance abuse, mental health issues, or both, then look no further. California Prime is the perfect place to start. During my time there, I was provided with a safe environment, shelter, and nutritious meals. Despite starting with nothing, I was able to rediscover myself time and time again at this facility. When I first arrived, I was lost, defeated, and in desperate need of guidance. However, through the support of the community, following the outlined steps, and having faith in the process, I was able to achieve success in my recovery journey.Cali Prime gave me the perfect environment to flourish as an individual during one of my initial treatment encounters, equipping me with the necessary tools to succeed. Brady H. sober date: 2/23/22Posted on Pimp MadeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am SUPER grateful for California Prime. 🙌 I have the most amazing case manager (Anita) who always listens, and helps me navigate every way to better my life. I love my facilitators....Kori the alumni coordinator is very inciteful and such a compassionate person. I enjoy Matt and Fred's groups as well. I live in a very nice sober living house. It's always clean and it actually feels like home with how comfortable I feel. I was an extremely hard core addict. This program has been life changing. They could do more groups on having awesome, last for a lifetime hobbies. Also, with gaining good employment. Every program has things that they can improve. I still give california prime a 10/10 for what they are doing.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

FAQS
How does a Virtual IOP handle crisis situations if something urgent happens during or outside of sessions?
Your safety is our top priority. During live sessions, our licensed clinicians are trained to recognize signs of crisis and respond immediately with interventions, including contacting emergency services if needed. Outside of scheduled sessions, you’ll be provided with direct access to crisis resources and instructions tailored to your situation, such as a 24/7 helpline and local emergency contacts. We work with you from day one to create a personalized crisis plan so that you always know what steps to take and who to call if an urgent situation arises.
Will my insurance company view virtual IOP treatment differently than in-person care when it comes to coverage?
Most insurance providers now recognize virtual IOP as equivalent to in-person intensive outpatient care, meaning it’s covered under the same benefits. Because every plan is different, we verify your insurance before you begin and explain exactly what’s covered so there are no surprises. If your insurance provider requires additional documentation for virtual treatment, our team handles that process for you, ensuring that your care is fully supported without unnecessary delays.
How does confidentiality work in a virtual IOP if I live with family or roommates?
Protecting your privacy is essential. All virtual IOP sessions take place on HIPAA-compliant, secure video platforms designed for confidential healthcare. We’ll also help you set up your environment to keep sessions private, whether that’s using headphones, choosing a quiet space, or enabling digital security features. If your living situation makes total privacy difficult, your therapist can work with you to create additional safeguards so that your personal information and progress remain fully protected.
What kind of technology or equipment do I need beyond a phone or laptop to participate fully?
Most clients only need a device with a camera, microphone, and a stable internet connection. However, to make your experience smoother, we recommend using headphones (to reduce background noise), a private space with good lighting, and a secure Wi-Fi connection. If you run into technology challenges—like dropped calls or software issues—our support team will walk you through backup options so that your treatment is never disrupted.
Can I transition from a Virtual IOP to in-person treatment (or vice versa) without restarting the program?
Yes. Many clients move between virtual and in-person care depending on life circumstances, and we make that transition as seamless as possible. Your treatment plan, clinical notes, and progress carry over, so you won’t need to repeat assessments or restart the program. If you relocate or simply prefer a different format, our team will help coordinate the change so that you maintain continuity of care and stay on track with your recovery goals.
