Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
A flexible, structured path to recovery that fits around your real life — without sacrificing the depth of care you need to heal.
At Empower Recovery in Van Nuys, CA, we provide supportive, structured care for adults facing co-occurring disorders. Our team stands with you, offering guidance and community to build a strong foundation for lasting wellbeing.


Co-occurring disorders develop when a mental health condition and substance use disorder happen at the same time, each often making the other harder to manage. It often involves overlapping symptoms, such as using substances to cope with anxiety, depression, or trauma.
Recovery starts with recognizing the challenge and seeking support. At Empower Recovery, we help adults stabilize through evidence-based care, daily structure, and peer connections, focusing on practical skills for lasting relief.

Overcoming co-occurring disorders requires addressing both mental health symptoms and substance use at the same time, since treating one without the other often leads to relapse. Our approach integrates proven therapies with accountability and community support to help clients regain control and thrive.
We combine clinical modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, group sessions, and 12-step principles with life skills training and medication management when needed.
Empower Recovery delivers a complete range of services tailored to different stages of care for co-occurring disorders.
