About La Cheim Behavioral Health Services

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 commitment 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.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like La Cheim Behavioral Health Services provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)
