How we help
Telehealth IOP — not a brick-and-mortar IOP
We do not list hidden in-person IOP sites in OC. Virtual is the IOP modality.
HomeBound is Northbound's virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP) for California residents — including Orange County, CA. Secure video sessions deliver nine to twelve hours of weekly programming: groups, individual therapy, family involvement, and relapse-prevention planning from your home.
Virtual IOP is not a lighter version of treatment — it is the same evidence-based modalities (CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care) adapted for telehealth. Orange County clients maintain employment, parenting, and community ties while meeting clinical standards online.
There is no in-person IOP alternative in our network. Higher levels of care — detox, residential, PHP — require on-site campuses in Garden Grove or Newport Beach. HomeBound is how Northbound extends intensive outpatient across every California county.
After on-site treatment in Orange County, HomeBound lets you recover in Orange County without transferring records to a new provider. Alumni programming and aftercare planning keep you connected to Northbound long after formal IOP ends.
We are DHCS licensed #300661CP, Joint Commission accredited, and in-network with 15+ major insurance plans. Call (866) 311-0003 — admissions is available 24/7 for Orange County families.

Local context
County-wide virtual access
North OC, central OC, and south OC clients share the same HomeBound clinical standards — differentiated from generic telehealth apps by our 38-year history and alumni network.
Families in bilingual households appreciate attending groups from home in their community while keeping children in local schools.
Insurance verification covers major plans accepted across our on-site programs.
Orange County families often ask how Northbound differs from other providers — we concentrate on-site detox and residential at one Garden Grove campus, PHP at Newport Beach, and virtual IOP statewide rather than spreading thin across many small sites.
Areas we serve
Our treatment facilities sit in Garden Grove and Newport Beach, but we serve clients from across Orange County — including families in Huntington Beach, Irvine, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Fullerton, and Mission Viejo. Wherever in OC you call home, we can help you begin treatment quickly.
