Inclusive, Empowering Day Treatment for Adults

​

Overview

​

La Cheim Behavioral Health Services is a nonprofit organization providing a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) to the Bay Area community since 1993.

​

Our unique PHP and IOP offer compassionate, non-institutional, and trauma-informed care for adults coping with serious mental health challenges. We believe in the strength, resilience, and creativity of our clients. With an emphasis on improved coping and problem solving, we help clients begin to stabilize and rebuild their lives with a restored sense of meaning. 

​

The PHP and IOP programs run weekdays from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM in Oakland, California. Learn more about a day in the life of the programs, and meet our staff.

​

Treatment Approaches

​

Using an array of empirically validated approaches -- including principles of CBT, DBT, ACT, and more -- we work with mood, anxiety, and thought disorders; trauma/PTSD; personality issues; grief, loss, and other adjustment difficulties; substance dependence recovery; and more. Clients often describe our treatment environment as especially welcoming, supportive, and non-pathologizing.

​
