Your mental health is the foundation of health and wellness in every part of your life. When you’re experiencing emotional distress or symptoms of a mental health condition, Lightfully Behavioral Health is here to help. 

Anxiety, depression and other mental health symptoms can make it hard to get through the most basic daily tasks. They may affect the way you see yourself and your relationships. Trying to navigate insurance coverage during these times can be another source of stress. The good news is you don’t have to get through this alone. 

All Lightfully Behavioral Health locations now accept Blue Shield of California. Members have access to in-network coverage to meet their mental health needs.

4 mental health treatment options available for Blue Shield of California members through Lightfully 

Anyone can struggle with their mental health. These difficulties don’t discriminate based on your age, income or lifestyle. Each person’s symptoms and experiences are unique. We believe everyone deserves access to personalized treatment that can meet their specific needs. That’s why we have multiple levels of care to help every person in need of comprehensive mental health care. From mild symptoms that medication and psychotherapy can help manage to more severe conditions that require around-the-clock care, we have a solution for every step of the journey.

The goal of our treatment programs is to help you learn to manage your mental health while developing life skills and healthy coping mechanisms that can benefit you for the rest of your life. 

We offer the following four levels of care, and all four levels are available to Blue Shield of California members:

• Residential Treatment Center (RTC) — Our Residential Treatment Centers are located in the Los Angeles, Thousand Oaks and San Diego areas. These facilities are beautiful, supportive and tranquil home-based settings where clients can receive 24-hour care. Treatment in our RTCs includes three sessions per week with a primary therapist. You’ll also attend weekly family sessions, up to five group sessions daily with trained clinicians and weekly sessions with a psychiatrist. You will receive an individualized treatment plan and meet with your whole treatment team. 
• Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) — Also called our Day Treatment Program, PHP provides you with supportive and structured care during the day while you return home each night. PHP can help eliminate the need for a hospital stay or shorten your stay. Eliminating overnight stays also helps make treatment more affordable. Our PHPs include an individualized treatment plan, two weekly sessions with your primary therapist, and six to seven hours of daily programming. You’ll also attend weekly family sessions and weekly sessions with our staff psychiatrist. You’ll meet with your whole treatment team every other week. 
• Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) — Our Intensive Outpatient Program provides partial day treatment for our clients who are struggling with their mental health. IOP can provide the right balance of support and autonomy for those transitioning from higher levels of care. Or it can be a welcoming and supportive environment with peer support for those who are new to therapy. Our IOP includes an individualized treatment plan. You’ll have a weekly session with your primary therapist and three to six hours of programming a day. You’ll also have ongoing family therapy, daily group sessions and monthly meetings with your whole treatment team. 
• Virtual Programs (vPHP/vIOP) — We’re making use of telehealth technology to broaden access to mental health care and make treatment options more flexible. Our Virtual Programs deliver quality treatment online that meets our clients’ needs and schedules. Clients in our vIOP meet in small groups of 10 clients or fewer with daily group sessions. They receive an individualized weekly treatment plan. They attend a session with their primary therapist each week and three to six hours of programming a day. They also have ongoing family therapy and a monthly meeting with their whole treatment team. 

At Lightfully, we believe in continued support even after your treatment plan has ended. We offer continued alumni services with resources, tips, support and support group offerings each month. 

Lightfully’s Precision Care Model: Personalized treatment plans to help you achieve lasting results

At Lightfully, our philosophy is to treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis. That’s why our unique clinical model, called our Precision Care Model (PCM), is at the heart of every level of our treatment programs. 

Our Precision Care Model is the process we use to create individual mental health treatment plans for the whole person. We combine evidence-based interventions from a variety of proven techniques in one integrated approach. This helps us tackle the four core processes that commonly contribute to mental health disorders :

• Difficulty with emotions
• Difficulty with thoughts
• Difficulty with behaviors
• Difficulty with relationships 

Blue Shield of California members can receive mental health care at all Lightfully Behavioral Health locations

We have locations in many areas of our beautiful, diverse state and virtual treatment programs for California residents. As a Blue Shield member, you can explore and receive treatment options at any of our locations. We don’t only treat adults — we also have Teen program locations in San Diego. These include a Residential Treatment Center and a Partial Hospitalization Program/Intensive Outpatient Program. 

If your schedule keeps trying to prevent you from getting the treatment you deserve, you can look into our vPHP and vIOP programs. These may be the flexible options you’ve been looking for.
