How we help
Outreach + virtual IOP — no in-person IOP
La Jolla provides connection and virtual IOP support; there is no evening IOP clinic at Ivanhoe Ave.
Intensive outpatient program (IOP) at Northbound is delivered through HomeBound — secure telehealth with the clinical intensity of in-person IOP, without a daily drive to Orange County. For San Diego, CA residents, that means structured recovery while living at home, working, or attending school.
Northbound does not operate in-person IOP at Garden Grove, Newport Beach, or any campus. If you are comparing IOP programs in San Diego, ask whether treatment is on-site or telehealth — our answer for California is HomeBound virtual IOP exclusively.
HomeBound includes weekly groups, individual therapy, family sessions, and psychiatric support as clinically indicated. Many clients enter after PHP or residential; others start IOP directly when assessment shows outpatient intensity is appropriate.
Dual-diagnosis treatment continues online — anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma are addressed alongside substance use with the same standards as our on-site programs. If symptoms escalate, step-up to Garden Grove residential or Newport PHP remains available within Northbound.
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 San Diego families.

Local context
Recover in San Diego County, clinically anchored by Northbound
Torrey Pines, Hillcrest, and East County clients avoid relocating north for outpatient when HomeBound meets IOP intensity from home.
La Jolla’s proximity to UC San Diego and biotech employers suits professionals who need flexible telehealth schedules.
Higher acuity still refers to Garden Grove detox/residential or Newport PHP — we do not blur levels of care.
San Diego 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 La Jolla outreach office at 7924 Ivanhoe Ave supports San Diego families with assessments, virtual IOP coordination, and referrals to Southern California campuses when higher levels of care are needed. We serve clients from La Jolla, Pacific Beach, Downtown, North County, and East County.
