Your Process

From your first call to admission day, we’ll keep you informed, supported, and confident in what comes next

1. The First Call

Your journey begins with a simple conversation. An admissions specialist will take time to get to know you, answer your questions, and review your insurance information. Together, we’ll determine which level of care best fits your needs and schedule your admission date.

2. Arrival and Welcome

When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by our team and given a brief tour. For residential clients, we can help coordinate drop-off or pickup to make your transition as easy as possible.

3. Initial Assessments

Next, you’ll meet with our clinical team for your initial assessments which include a psychiatric evaluation and biopsychosocial assessment. We'll talk through your health history, current challenges, and goals for treatment. This helps us get a full picture of your needs and create a plan that’s uniquely yours.

4. Your Personalized Plan

Using the information gathered during your assessment, your care team will design an individualized treatment plan that outlines your therapeutic goals. Whether you’re in residential or outpatient care, this plan will guide your journey toward healing and be adjusted as you progress.

5. Beginning Treatment

Within your first day, you’ll start engaging in your treatment program. This may include small group sessions, individual therapy, or other therapeutic activities like neurofeedback or wellness groups. Each part of your day is intentionally structured to help you feel safe, supported, and connected.

6. Moving Forward

As you continue in your program, your care team will check in regularly to ensure you’re getting the most out of your experience. When it’s time to transition to the next level of care, we’ll help you create a clear, personalized plan for continued growth and recovery.

Intensive Outpatient & Partial Hospitalization Programs

Our Outpatient Center was created with healing in mind. Soothing music, comfortable spaces, and thoughtful design elements come together to create an atmosphere of calm and safety. It's truly a place where clients can focus on recovery and well-being.

Clients in our Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programs participate in a balance of individual and group therapy, psychoeducation, and experiential practices such as yoga and sound healing.

  • PHP clients attend full-day programming, typically six hours a day, five days per week.
  • IOP clients attend half-day sessions, three to five days per week, pairing structure with flexibility.

Our sensory-friendly meditation room provides a quiet, restorative space to pause, reflect, and reconnect; supporting mindfulness and calm throughout your treatment experience.

Who You’ll Work With

At Sequoia, you’ll be cared for by an interdisciplinary team dedicated to your healing and long-term recovery. Our care team includes licensed therapists, psychiatric providers, peer support specialists, and supervised interns who work together to deliver trauma-informed, evidence-based treatment.

Each environment is designed with your comfort and wellness in mind. At our Residential Treatment Center, clients enjoy meals prepared off-site by a private chef using organic, locally sourced, and seed-oil-free ingredients, all reviewed by a registered dietitian for quality and balance. At our Outpatient Center, you’ll find a calm, welcoming space with soft music, coffee, and light refreshments to help you feel at ease throughout the day.

Healing Together

Support from loved ones plays a key role in recovery. Depending on your treatment plan, family therapy may be integrated to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and support healthy reintegration at home. Our goal is to help you and your family move forward with greater understanding and connection.

Seeking Help for a Loved One?

If you believe that a friend, family member, or intimate partner needs treatment, you have options. Family support is an essential piece of the recovery process, and we’re here to help you as you help your loved one.

In addition to residential and outpatient treatment, we provide referrals for interventions, medical detox, family counseling, and long-term counseling. We also offer educational resources to help you better understand behavioral health. We strive to take away the footwork—carving a seamless, peaceful pathway for you and the people you care about.
