Partial Hospitalization · Women's Only · Orange County
A full-day, women-only outpatient program — approximately five days per week. The structured step between residential treatment and IOP, with integrated care for substance use, mental health, and trauma.
“Anchored tides saved my life. I had been to an inpantient facility before and my sobriety wasn't lasting, until I found this place. I enjoyed the different groups and the staff and women are so welcoming. I felt so comfortable here, which I hadn't felt before. I now have the confidence to succeed in life. Very thankful for this place.”
Full-day, women-only outpatient program — approximately five days per week, no overnight stay.
The most structured outpatient level we offer — the step between residential treatment and IOP.
For women at several different starting points — stepping down from residential, stepping up from outpatient, or beginning treatment with significant clinical need.
Integrated care for SUD, mental health, and trauma — with specialty support for veterans and women with eating disorders.
In-network with most major commercial PPOs — we verify benefits before admission, with no obligation to enroll.
What mornings look like
PHP mornings are unhurried by design. Women arrive, settle in, and the program holds space — coffee, light, a few minutes alone — before the first group convenes. The day’s intensity comes from the work, not from the pace at which it begins.

Who Women's PHP Is For
PHP is full clinical days without the overnight component of residential care. Women who typically thrive in our PHP:
When PHP isn't the right start
Our admissions team helps each woman find the right level of care — even if that level isn't with us.
Where PHP fits in the continuum of care
PHP sits between residential treatment and Intensive Outpatient. Use this to see where it lands compared with the levels around it.
Anchors the day with structure and connection.
One to two sessions weekly, on a cadence your treatment plan defines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma & Recovery, Stress and Anxiety Management.
Tailored to your treatment plan — trauma processing, relapse prevention, dietitian support where indicated.
Continuity of care across step-downs, outside providers, and life logistics.
When clinically indicated, integrated with the rest of the plan.
Understanding PHP coverage
The cost of a partial hospitalization program is not a single number. It depends on your insurance plan, the benefits that plan carries for behavioral health, and the level of care your clinical team recommends for you.
We are an admissions-led program, which means we start by understanding your coverage before we talk about anything else. Our admissions team will review your benefits with you directly and confidentially, so you know what your plan supports before you make a decision.
Several factors influence what PHP looks like financially for each woman who comes to us:
We are in-network with a number of carriers, and we work with several others out-of-network. Your specific benefits are confirmed during verification.
If you do not see your plan listed, we are still glad to review your benefits with you.
What we treat in PHP
Most women in our PHP present with more than one. Care plans integrate both pictures into a single treatment plan from the assessment forward.
Therapies used in our PHP
Individual, group, and family therapy supported by evidence-based and experiential modalities, chosen alongside your level of care.
Evidence-based skills work to identify and reshape thought patterns that drive substance use.
Distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness — central to our PHP groups.
Where clinically indicated, integrated with psychiatric care from our medical team.
Daily practice woven through the schedule — body-based regulation tools alongside the clinical work.
Our differentiated coastal modality. Ocean, breath, and movement, run by clinicians who know how to use it.
Yoga, art, journaling, and group practice — clinically integrated, not bolted on the edges.
PHP is covered by most major commercial PPO plans.
We are happy to verify your benefits prior to any commitment and let you know what your plan covers. Please note: we do not accept Medi-Cal or Medicaid.

Our Huntington Beach location
Service areas
Most women travel in from Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, and the wider Southern California coast for daily PHP care.
Most women spend approximately two to six weeks in PHP before stepping down to Intensive Outpatient. The exact length depends on clinical progress and your individualized treatment plan rather than a fixed timeline. Some women need less time; some need more. We build the right length around the woman, not the other way around.
No. PHP is an outpatient level of care — you attend full clinical days at our Huntington Beach facility and return home, to family, or to sober living arranged through a trusted partner each evening. Women who need overnight supervision are typically better suited to residential treatment.
PHP runs approximately five days a week with full clinical days. Intensive Outpatient (IOP) is fewer hours across fewer days and is designed for women who can hold work, school, or family commitments alongside treatment. PHP is the most structured outpatient level we offer; IOP is the step below.
We are happy to verify your benefits prior to any commitment and let you know what your plan covers. We do not accept Medi-Cal or Medicaid.
PHP is a full-day, five-day-a-week program, so most women take a leave from work or school during this level of care. Women who need to maintain those commitments typically begin at IOP. We're happy to talk through which level fits your life — sometimes the right move is PHP for a short window, then a step down to IOP when you're ready.
