About Trauma and Beyond

This trauma-specific outpatient center works with patients who have survived traumatic experiences and experience emotional distress. The clinicians at Trauma and Beyond believe that trauma is often at the root of many emotional and psychological disorders. The center provides patients with various treatments that have differing levels of intensity: intensive outpatient programs (IOP), partial hospitalization programs (PHP), outpatient treatment and supportive living at Athena House.
The clinicians at Trauma and Beyond use a 3-stage trauma therapy model in their work with all clients. Stage 1 involves working towards basic stabilization for patients with emotional dysregulation. The 2nd stage involves processing and grieving traumatic moments or memories that are causing distress. Finally, the 3rd stage involves learning to reconnect and integrate themselves back into life with greater ease. The team at the center also uses a top-down, bottom up approach, which targets the prefrontal cortex which controls thoughts and also focuses on the role of the body in healing trauma.
Their PHP program is for patients who suffer from debilitating PTSD, depression and anxiety. It is also a good option for patients who have survived trauma but are using substances to cope. Their IOP program is a good fit for patients who have worked through the PHP program or are needing a more intensive level of care than individual counseling. The clinicians at Trauma and Beyond provide individual counseling and group therapy for all clients. No matter the level of care received, clients can attend individual counseling daily. Supportive living at Athena House is available for clients in their PHP or IOP programs. Most of these programs are offered virtually.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start treatment at Trauma and Beyond?
Call the facility directly at (818) 651-0725 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
