Deciding you or your loved one needs more support can be a difficult realization. It can also be the first step toward real progress.
Protected Roots Integrative (PRI) offers an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for young adults ages 18-25 in San Diego. IOP provides structured therapeutic support several days a week, with a more flexible schedule that allows individuals to stay connective to home, work, school, and daily life.
3 hours per day, 3-5 days per week
PRI offers two levels of care for young adults ages 18-25, each providing a different level of structure and support.
It can be hard to distinguish between a rough patch and an emerging mental health concern. Before recommending IOP, our clinical team completes a structured evaluation to understand your symptoms, emotional regulation patterns, and overall level-of-care needs, so treatment intensity is based on clinical clarity, not assumption.

Our admissions team can help you understand what program makes the most sense for your unique situation.
Care at PRI is grounded in the Attachment, Regulation, and Competency (ARC) Framework, addressing the relational patterns behind symptoms, not just the symptoms themselves. For young adults, that means treatment reflects real challenges like life transitions, independence, and building long-term coping skills, not a one-size-fits-all program.
Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, treatment is designed to improve day-to-day functioning: how you manage stress, respond to challenges, and navigate your environment. For young adults also navigating substance use alongside mental health challenges, treatment addresses both together in an integrated way.
