Understanding the Military & Veteran Intensive Outpatient Program
The Military and Veteran Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is developed with the distinct needs of service members and veterans in mind.

Veterans in the program participate in structured therapy that includes group sessions, individual counseling, and therapeutic activities aimed at fostering resilience and recovery.
At Couples Rehab California, the IOP addresses common veteran issues such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, and addiction. The flexibility of the program allows participants to continue meeting personal and professional obligations while receiving the care they need. Our team of clinicians, experienced in military culture, ensures that each veteran receives care that is both culturally competent and therapeutically sound.
