What FOY Wellness and Recovery Actually Is:
FOY Wellness and Recovery is a licensed Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Agoura Hills, California, providing structured, clinically supervised treatment for adults navigating mental health conditions, substance use, and dual-diagnosis. We are accredited by The Joint Commission (HCO ID: 654032) and certified by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS Certification # 191067AP), meeting the same oversight standards required of licensed treatment facilities statewide.
Our program blends evidence-based clinical therapy with a full range of holistic care.
Clinical programming includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and Evidence-Based Trauma Treatments, along with Attachment-Based, Culturally Sensitive, Emotionally Focused, Gestalt, Family Systems, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic, Relational, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Somatic, and Strength-Based approaches, plus Psychological Testing and Evaluation.
Holistic care includes Meditation, Energy Healing, Breathwork, Yoga, Bodywork, Sound Healing, Nutritional Guidance, Art Therapy, Expressive Arts, and Somatic Integration.
Clients attend 4 to 6 hours of structured programming daily allowing treatment to fit around work, school, or family responsibilities in a way residential care cannot.
Every client begins with a free, confidential, assessment with our Clinical Program Director, who works with our treatment team to build an individualized plan addressing each person’s specific history, symptoms, and goals. That plan is continuously reviewed and adjusted as treatment progresses, not set once and left unchanged.
Is FOY Wellness and Recovery Right for You?
FOY Wellness and Recovery is often the right fit for adults who need more than weekly therapy but do not need 24 hour residential care. That includes people stepping down from detox, inpatient, or residential treatment, and people working through addiction, mental health symptoms, or both at the same time. Many of our clients come to us after trying to manage on their own, or after outpatient care that did not go far enough. They are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic stress, or alcohol and drug use that has become hard to control.
Our partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs in Agoura Hills, California offer a structured level of care in the middle: regular therapy, group support, and skills training several days a week, while you continue to live at home. That structure helps you build recovery skills and put them into practice in your daily life.
Common signs that it may be time for PHP or IOP include persistent anxiety or low mood, trouble sleeping, increased drinking or drug use, cravings, relapse after a previous attempt to quit, symptoms of trauma or PTSD, and feeling overwhelmed by work, relationships, or daily tasks. These problems often feed each other, and treating just one can leave the other pulling you back. Our dual diagnosis treatment addresses substance use and mental health together, with one clinical team and one individualized plan, so that you work on the causes and not only the symptoms.
Most outpatient programs treat either mental health or substance use. FOY treats both together through a true dual-diagnosis lens because for the clients we serve, they are rarely separate issues.
Our clinical approach combines attachment-based, cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavior (DBT), EMDR, family systems, mindfulness-based (MBCT), psychodynamic, and strength-based therapies with a full complement of holistic modalities, including meditation, energy healing, breathwork, yoga, bodywork, sound healing, and expressive arts. Treatment happens at the level of the mind, body, and nervous system simultaneously, not in separate, disconnected tracks.
We are accredited by The Joint Commission and certified by DHCS and we work with most major private insurance plans, helping clients reduce their out-of-pocket cost of care. Our admissions team advocates directly with insurance providers to help maximize the benefits available at every level of care.

Alongside clinical therapy, every client participates in daily holistic programming designed to support nervous system regulation and whole-person healing.
Our clinical programming in Agoura Hills, California combines evidence-based therapies with individualized care to guide clients toward lasting recovery from mental health conditions, substance use, and dual-diagnosis.
Our holistic modalities from sound healing to somatic integration are chosen to support the nervous system regulation and whole-body recovery that clinical therapy alone can’t always reach.

FOY Wellness and Recovery is a licensed Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) located in Agoura Hills, California, providing structured mental health and addiction treatment for adults throughout Agoura Hills, the Conejo Valley, Greater Los Angeles, and clients traveling from across the United States. Our program is designed for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and dual diagnosis conditions who need more structured clinical support than weekly outpatient therapy can offer, but who do not require twenty four hour residential care. Many of our clients are stepping down from a higher level of care, such as residential or inpatient treatment, while others are stepping up from standard outpatient therapy after realizing their current level of support is not enough. Our program combines evidence based clinical therapy, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, and trauma focused approaches, with a full range of holistic modalities, including yoga, breathwork, sound healing, and somatic integration. Treatment is delivered in four to six hour sessions, with both morning and evening options, so clients can continue to work, attend school, or care for their families while receiving daily clinical support. If you are unsure whether PHP or IOP is the right fit for your situation, our admissions team offers a free, confidential, in person assessment to help determine the most appropriate level of care.
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) are both structured, non residential levels of care, but they differ in intensity and time commitment. PHP typically involves more hours of programming per day and is often the right fit for individuals who need significant daily structure, whether they are stepping down from residential treatment or managing symptoms that are currently interfering significantly with daily functioning. IOP involves fewer scheduled hours per week, making it easier to combine with work, school, or family obligations, while still providing consistent, structured clinical support. At FOY Wellness and Recovery in Agoura Hills, California, both programs are built around the same core clinical and holistic model of individual therapy, group therapy, and daily holistic programming, with the primary difference being the number of hours and days per week a client attends. Many clients move between the two levels of care over the course of treatment, typically starting in PHP and stepping down to IOP as they stabilize. The right level of care for you is best determined through a clinical assessment rather than self selecting based on a program description, since it depends on your specific symptoms, history, and support system at home.
No. We offer PHP and IOP outpatient care. If you are at risk of withdrawal, you may need detox first.
We treat anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, substance use disorders, and dual diagnosis.
FOY is in-network with Blue Shield, Cigna, and TRICARE through TriWest. We also work with out-of-network PPO plans, including Anthem, Aetna, Multiplan, HMC HealthWorks, Blue Cross, and more. Coverage varies by plan.
Yes. Many PPO plans reimburse part of PHP and IOP costs even when a program is out-of-network. We verify your benefits for free and explain your deductible, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket maximum before you decide.
It depends on the level of care, length of stay, and your benefits. Call us for a free benefits check and a clear explanation of what you may owe.
No. You can call us directly. A free, confidential assessment helps identify what you are dealing with and which level of care fits.
Many clients attend IOP around work or school. PHP requires a larger daily commitment, and our team can help with FMLA paperwork.
Yes. Your information is protected under HIPAA and is not shared without your written authorization, except where the law requires.
Call (805) 659-8429 or use our contact form. We will verify your insurance and arrange a free, confidential assessment. If you are in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911.
Yes. FOY works with out-of-network Anthem PPO plans. Many Anthem PPO plans include out-of-network benefits for mental health and substance use treatment, often with a separate deductible and coinsurance. Because plans vary by employer, our admissions team verifies your exact benefits, explains what your plan may reimburse, and handles prior authorization if your plan requires it.
Yes. We work with out-of-network Aetna PPO plans. Aetna plans commonly require prior authorization for PHP and IOP and review medical necessity, so we submit your clinical information and track the decision. Your reimbursement depends on your out-of-network deductible, coinsurance, and the allowed amount your plan uses.
Yes. Multiplan is a network that many employer health plans use, and its role can be confusing. Some plans use Multiplan to price out-of-network claims, which can affect what your plan allows. We verify how your specific plan handles it and explain what that means for your costs.
Yes. HMC HealthWorks is a behavioral health network used by some plans. If your plan uses it, we confirm your benefits and any authorization requirements before you start.
Yes. Blue Cross plans are offered by independent companies in different states, so benefits differ widely. Many BCBS PPO plans include out-of-network coverage for PHP and IOP. FOY is in-network with Blue Shield, and we also verify other Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, including those from outside Californ
FOY is in-network with Blue Shield. Blue Shield and Blue Cross Blue Shield are separate organizations in many states, so a plan labeled “Blue Cross” may not be the same as Blue Shield. Our team checks the exact plan on your card so you know whether you would be in-network or out-of-network.
Four numbers matter: your out-of-network deductible, your coinsurance percentage after the deductible, your out-of-pocket maximum, and the allowed amount your plan uses to calculate reimbursement. We gather these during verification and walk you through an example in plain language so you can plan. Estimates are not guarantees, since the insurer makes the final decision when it processes claims.
FOY Wellness and Recovery is in network with Blue Shield, Cigna, and TRICARE through TriWest, meaning we have a direct contract with these providers, with pre negotiated rates that typically result in lower, more predictable out of pocket costs and less paperwork on your end. For clients holding other insurance plans, including Anthem, Aetna, Multiplan, HMC HealthWorks, UMR, and Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plans, FOY is generally considered out of network, but these and most other major PPO plans still provide meaningful reimbursement for treatment, with the amount depending on your plan’s out of network benefit level, annual deductible, and out of pocket maximum. Out of network PPO coverage is often more generous than clients expect, and many PPO plan holders are able to access the same clinical and holistic programming at FOY as in network clients, simply with a different reimbursement process. This distinction is especially relevant for clients outside of California, since PPO plans with strong out of network behavioral health benefits often allow individuals from other states to access treatment at FOY while still receiving significant reimbursement, and TRICARE through TriWest extends that same accessibility nationwide to military families regardless of duty station. In both cases, our admissions team handles the verification process directly with your insurance provider and explains your specific coverage in plain language before you begin treatment, so there are no surprises about cost.
Usually not. HMO and EPO plans typically offer little or no out-of-network coverage except in emergencies, which is why PPO and POS plans are generally the strongest fit. If you have an HMO or EPO, call us anyway. Some plans make exceptions when a needed service is not available in-network. We can help you ask.
Some plans will approve out-of-network care at in-network rates if they cannot offer timely, appropriate in-network treatment. These exceptions go by different names, such as a network gap or single case agreement, and approval is at the insurer’s discretion. Our team can tell you whether it may be worth requesting for your plan.
Many plans require authorization for PHP and IOP. If it is denied or fewer days are approved than recommended, you can request a peer-to-peer review, file an internal appeal, and in many cases request an external review. We help with clinical documentation. Your rights depend on whether your plan is employer-sponsored, self-funded, or regulated by the state, and we cannot promise a reversal.
Yes. Call (805) 659-8429 or use the contact form with your insurance card handy. We verify your benefits at no cost and with no obligation. You will leave knowing whether you are in-network or out-of-network, your likely costs, and any authorization steps.
Deciding between PHP and IOP typically comes down to how much daily structure and clinical support you currently need, which is best assessed by a clinician rather than determined on your own. Common signs that a PHP treatment center may be the more appropriate starting point include recently completing residential or inpatient treatment, experiencing symptoms that are significantly interfering with your ability to work or care for yourself, or feeling that weekly outpatient therapy alone is not providing enough support to stay stable. An IOP treatment center is often appropriate for individuals who need consistent clinical support but have a stable home environment, are able to maintain work or school responsibilities, and do not require the more intensive daily structure of PHP. At FOY Wellness and Recovery, every client begins with a free, confidential, in person or online assessment with our Clinical Program Director, who evaluates your specific history, current symptoms, and support system to recommend the most appropriate level of care. This assessment carries no obligation to enroll, and our team is available to answer questions about either program before you decide.
Yes. FOY Wellness and Recovery treats mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and dual diagnosis, meaning the co occurrence of both, through a single, integrated treatment plan rather than treating them as separate concerns. Many clients who struggle with substance use also experience underlying anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma, and treating only one side of that picture often leads to incomplete or unstable recovery. Our clinical team uses evidence based, trauma informed therapies, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, and family systems therapy, to address the full clinical picture, alongside holistic modalities that support nervous system regulation and whole person healing. Every treatment plan is individualized at intake and adjusted continuously as a client progresses, rather than following a fixed, one size fits all curriculum. If you are not sure whether your situation qualifies as dual diagnosis, our admissions team can help clarify this during your free confidential assessment.
FOY Wellness and Recovery is a licensed, clinically driven PHP and IOP treatment center, not a wellness retreat. We are accredited by The Joint Commission, certified by the California Department of Health Care Services, and licensed by the California Department of Social Services meeting the same regulatory standards required of licensed mental health and substance use treatment facilities in California. Clinical programming, including individual therapy, group therapy, and evidence based modalities such as CBT, DBT, and EMDR, forms the core of every treatment plan. Holistic offerings, including yoga, breathwork, sound healing, and somatic integration, are intentionally incorporated to support and enhance clinical outcomes, not to replace them. This distinction matters because effective treatment for mental health and substance use conditions requires addressing both the psychological and physiological drivers of these conditions together, under licensed clinical oversight, which a wellness retreat by definition is not equipped or credentialed to provide.
Recovery isn’t about rushing to the finish line, it’s about trusting the process, one day at a time.
