D'Amore Mental Health provides Orange County mental health treatment for adults across a full continuum of care: subacute crisis stabilization, residential treatment, Partial Hospitalization (PHP), and Intensive Outpatient (IOP). Our residential program is an alternative to hospitalization for adults who can be safely and appropriately treated in a subacute residential setting.
We accept complex presentations that many programs decline, including suicidal ideation, psychosis, schizophrenia, and co-occurring disorders, when subacute care is clinically appropriate. We're also in-network with major commercial insurance carriers, so verifying your benefits is usually the first step.
Every admission starts with a clinical assessment, and placement is based on medical necessity. Care can step up or down as your needs change, with coordinated continuity of care at each step.
Residential treatment gives you a structured, therapeutic home where you live while receiving individualized care and psychiatric oversight. Patients participate in weekly therapy and case management sessions, along with structured daily group programming.
The focus is stabilization, psychotherapy, life-skills development, and medication management, so you're prepared for the next level of care. All lengths of stay are based upon medical necessity.
Outpatient services are delivered through PHP, IOP, and D'Amore Extended Care, a separate outpatient program with its own site. Each patient also receives an individualized First Year Aftercare Plan designed to support continuity of care and long-term stability throughout the first year after discharge.
The main difference between levels is intensity of support. These are common starting points, not a diagnosis.
A clinical assessment, not this list, determines your final level-of-care recommendation.
D'Amore accepts adults with complex, high-acuity presentations that many programs decline, as long as subacute residential care is safe and clinically appropriate. That includes suicidal ideation, psychosis, schizophrenia, and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.
Our multidisciplinary clinical team provides 24/7 care, psychiatric evaluation, and medication management. Every treatment plan is reviewed with clinical leadership, so supervision stays close and care stays individualized.
D'Amore is in-network with major commercial insurance carriers, so many patients can use their existing plan benefits for treatment. You can see the current carrier list and start a confidential check on our insurance verification page.
We treat adults whose mental health symptoms need more structure than weekly therapy can offer. Common primary concerns include:

Our comprehensive mental health treatment program combines psychiatric evaluation, ongoing psychiatric follow-up, and medication management with evidence-based therapies, experiential services, and holistic approaches that support emotional, physical, and overall well-being throughout the recovery process.
