Set in Oakland, La Cheim offers day and intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment for mental health and substance use disorders for adults in the San Francisco Bay Area. Their programs meet in groups for 3 to 5 days, either in person, virtually, or hybrid. La Cheim organizes group discussions to cover both processes and skills. Process groups can include people with similar concerns (such as grief or suicidality) or demographic backgrounds (such as neurodiverse, BIPOC, LGBTQ+ groups). The skill groups provide tools to cope and recover using a specific therapy style, such as acceptance and commitme...nt therapy (ACT), body wisdom, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), expressive arts, and self-empowerment. La Cheim also facilitates gender-specific self-expression groups. Show more
