What supportive housing actually is
A sanctuary for the evenings — clinical days at the coast.
The question isn’t whether you need support. It’s whether the support you have matches the weight you’re carrying.
Supportive housing at High Tide is not a separate treatment program. It is the residential layer that wraps around our PHP and IOP — beautiful homes in Laguna Beach, where you sleep, eat, and recover between clinical days.
Our residences have stunning ocean views and the calm that comes with them: hardwood floors, open kitchens with natural light, shared living rooms, outdoor decks, and bedrooms built for real rest. Twenty-four-hour staff means someone is always present — not to supervise your life, but to keep the environment safe, structured, and supportive while you focus on healing.
We provide essentials, food, and transportation to and from outpatient programming. That removes the logistics that often derail intensive treatment — especially for clients traveling from across Orange County or out of state. You arrive for clinical work; we handle everything around it.
Who it's for
For when home is the hardest place to heal — or too far away.
Supportive housing is optional. Most PHP and IOP clients sleep at home. But for many people, a calm, staffed residence near the ocean is what makes intensive outpatient care possible.
This level of care fits when
- You’re traveling to Laguna Beach for PHP or IOP and need a stable, safe place to stay for two to twelve weeks.
- Your home environment is part of what’s keeping symptoms activated — distance creates space to practice skills without old triggers.
- Family or roommates can’t reliably support the structure PHP and IOP require — food, sleep, and transport need to be handled.
- You want the community of a small cohort — shared food, time on outdoor decks, people doing the same hard work at the same time.
- Evenings feel unmanageable alone, but you don’t need inpatient lockdown — supportive housing bridges that gap.
You may not need housing when
- You live nearby with a stable, supportive home and reliable transport to Laguna Beach — PHP and IOP work well with evenings at home.
- You need 24/7 locked medical supervision or detox — that is inpatient care, and we’ll help you find the right referral.
- You’re looking for standalone sober living without clinical programming — our residences are paired with PHP or IOP only.
- Insurance or budget won’t cover residential fees — we’ll verify benefits and discuss self-pay options transparently before you commit.
What we treat here
Built for the same clinical picture as PHP and IOP.
Housing does not change your diagnosis or your treatment plan — it supports the people we already treat in partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient. Most residents are working through more than one of these at once.
01
Mood & anxiety
When depression or anxiety has made daily functioning at home unsustainable, a staffed residence offers structure between clinical days.
- Major depression
- Bipolar disorder
- Generalized & panic anxiety
- Burnout & acute stress
02
Trauma & personality
Trauma and emotion dysregulation often need a regulated environment at night — not just intensive hours during the day.
- PTSD & complex trauma
- Borderline personality disorder
- Dissociative symptoms
- Self-harm behaviors
03
Co-occurring concerns
Integrated mental health and substance use treatment is harder when evenings are unstructured — housing keeps the container intact.
- Dual diagnosis
- Early recovery stability
- Medication initiation
- Family & relationship strain
04
Life circumstances
Sometimes the barrier isn’t clinical — it’s geography, logistics, or a home that can’t hold the intensity of change right now.
- Out-of-area clients
- Unsafe or chaotic home
- No reliable transport
- Need for peer community
You must be admitted to PHP or IOP to access supportive housing. Admissions assesses clinical fit first; housing is discussed once level of care is clear.
See everything we treatThe rhythm of a day
How a residence day supports your clinical week.
Housing follows the rhythm of PHP or IOP — not a parallel program. Here’s what a typical day looks like when you live at one of our Laguna Beach homes.
Weekends are intentionally lighter: community meals, time on outdoor decks, family visits when appropriate, and time to integrate what the week’s groups surfaced. Clinical intensity stays at the facility; the residence holds the recovery environment.
Morning
Start at the residence
A calm start with food provided and a brief check-in with on-site staff before the day’s clinical work begins.
Before clinic
Transport to programming
Door-to-door transport to our Laguna Beach facility. No navigating traffic, parking, or rideshare logistics on the hardest mornings.
9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
PHP or IOP programming
Your full clinical day — individual therapy, groups, psychiatry, skills work — at our Laguna Beach facility.
Afternoon
Return & decompression
Transport back to the residence. Space to rest, journal, enjoy ocean views from outdoor decks, or connect with housemates.
Evening
Community time
Food provided at shared tables — nourishment and sober social practice in a small, intentional community.
Night
Staff-supported autonomy
Quiet hours, optional house meetings, and 24/7 staff presence if anxiety spikes or you need grounding before sleep.
What's included
Everything included beyond the clinical day.
These are not add-on therapies — they are the residential services that let PHP and IOP work the way they’re designed to.
01
24/7 residential staff
Awake, trained staff around the clock — safety, support, and a human presence when nights feel long.
02
Food provided
Food provided throughout the day. Nutrition supports mood and medication response; one less decision when executive function is low.
03
Clinic transport
Daily transport to and from PHP or IOP. Reliable, discreet, and timed to your programming schedule.
04
Ocean-view setting
Laguna Beach homes with stunning ocean views — outdoor decks and the regulating effect of open air and natural light.
05
Small peer community
A handful of residents at a time. Shared experience, accountability, and the relationships that make intensive treatment less isolating.
06
Family coordination
Structured communication for visiting family and clinical updates through your treatment team when appropriate.
What changes
What stable housing makes possible in PHP and IOP.
The clinical outcomes come from PHP and IOP. Supportive housing protects the evenings and weekends so those outcomes actually stick — especially for people whose home environment would undo the day’s work.
24/7
Staff presence — nights and weekends included, not just clinical hours.
0
Commute stress on treatment days — transport is scheduled and handled.
Food
Provided daily — structure that supports medication, sleep, and mood.
PHP & IOP
Housing residents are enrolled in clinical programming — residential and outpatient care stay integrated.
Housing or home evenings?
Supportive housing and commuting, side by side.
Both paths use the same PHP and IOP clinical team. The difference is what happens after 3 PM — and for some people, that difference is the treatment.

How to start
From first call to move-in — usually within a week.
Housing is arranged after clinical admission to PHP or IOP. Here’s how the full process works.
01
Call or verify online
A confidential conversation about what’s going on and whether PHP or IOP is the right clinical fit. Mention housing interest early — we’ll discuss availability and costs while verifying insurance on the same call.
02
Clinical assessment
A licensed clinician completes a full assessment — symptoms, safety, and level-of-care fit. Housing is only offered alongside PHP or IOP admission, never as standalone residential care.
03
Residence placement & move-in
Once clinically admitted, our team confirms bed availability, reviews housing fees and insurance coverage, and schedules move-in — often the same week clinical programming begins.
Most PPO plans cover this program. Verification is free, confidential, and usually same-day.

What is supportive housing at High Tide?
Supportive housing here is optional residential housing paired with PHP or IOP — Laguna Beach homes with 24/7 staff, food, and transport to clinical days. It is not permanent supportive housing, a housing voucher program, or standalone sober living.
What is the purpose of this program?
The purpose is to remove logistics that derail intensive outpatient care — sleep, meals, safety, and transport — so you can focus on therapy, psychiatry, and skills. Supportive services wrap the evenings; the clinical program is still PHP or IOP.
Who can receive these services?
Adults enrolled in High Tide PHP or IOP who need a stable place to stay, distance from a stressful home environment, or more evening structure than home can provide. Housing is not required for treatment.
Is supportive housing required for PHP or IOP?
No. Most clients live at home and commute to Laguna Beach for clinical days. Supportive housing is optional — for people who need structure, community, or a safe place to stay while in intensive outpatient care.
Does insurance cover housing?
Clinical PHP and IOP are often covered by PPO plans; residential housing fees are typically separate and may be self-pay. We verify your clinical benefits first, then give you a clear housing cost breakdown before you commit — no surprises after move-in.
How is this different from sober living?
Sober living is housing without integrated clinical programming. Our supportive housing is paired exclusively with High Tide PHP or IOP — same clinical team, daily transport to the facility, and treatment plans that account for your evenings at the residence.
What should I bring?
Comfortable clothing for two to twelve weeks, personal toiletries, any prescribed medications (handed to staff for safe storage), and whatever helps you feel grounded — books, journals, photos. We provide essentials and food; pack light.
