We are now offering Telehealth treatment options.
The Santa Barbara Recovery Community
During your recovery, one of the most important things you can do is connect yourself with supportive people and resources within your community and avoid the people, places, and things associated with your drug and alcohol use. The Santa Barbara recovery community provides the support you need to stay sober and rebuild your life after addiction, as the Santa Barbara area offers plenty of sober attractions, as well as a strong resource network.
The Santa Barbara Community offers a large Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse to assist with your recovery journey. The main office is located in the heart of Santa Barbara,
just a mile from West Beach. The Council also offers services for youth and families, a detox center, residential treatment, drug courts, mentoring programs, school-based counseling, and a resource and referral center. For those looking for assistance with recovery, the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse is a strong starting point.
The area attractions and outdoor amenities in Santa Barbara also make it an ideal community for recovery. One prominent attraction is the Arroyo Burro Beach County Park, where visitors can walk or jog along the shoreline, watch for whales, fish, surf, and utilize barbecue grills and picnic tables.
Butterfly Beach is another popular outdoor attraction in Santa Barbara, located in the upscale Montecito neighborhood frequented by celebrities. The beach allows dogs on leashes, so visitors can bring their dogs for a walk as they enjoy the sandy shores.
Perhaps the most diverse attraction in the Santa Barbara area is Elings Park, which attracts everyone from nature enthusiasts to sports fanatics. The park offers baseball diamonds, tennis courts, soccer fields, a BMX track, and picnic areas and a playground. It also offers plenty of natural space and opportunities for hiking, biking, and riding horses. The park is also an ideal setting for hosting major events like weddings.
The recovery resources, combined with ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, make Santa Barbara ideal for those looking to recover from
drug and alcohol addiction. For those living in the Santa Barbara area, Mission Harbor Behavioral Health offers multiple levels of care, including a partial hospitalization program, intensive outpatient services, and an outpatient program for teens.

The Los Angeles Recovery Community
People may associate Los Angeles with the late-night party scene, but the reality is that there is another side of the city, and it promotes sobriety. Given the size and popularity of Los Angeles, there are ample recovery resources and so many things to do while sober in this community.
At the head of the Los Angeles recovery community is the Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (L.A. CADA), licensed and certified by California to provide substance abuse treatment. L.A. CADA is able to provide services to both adults and teens, and a range of options are available, from outpatient to residential
treatment. The agency also provides outreach services and can refer individuals to resources within the Los Angeles recovery community, and it hosts events and training sessions related to behavioral health topics.
Beyond a supportive network of recovery resources, Los Angeles offers plenty of recreation opportunities, without involving drugs or alcohol. Perhaps the most popular attraction in the Los Angeles area is the Santa Monica Pier, which offers an amusement park, a merry-go-round, an arcade, and plenty of shopping and opportunities to participate in activities such as fishing from the pier and trying out boogie boarding.
Venice Beach is also among the most popular attractions in Los Angeles, which boasts a two-mile-long boardwalk filled with street vendors, performers, and restaurants. Venice Beach is also home to an outdoor gym called Muscle Beach and a recreation center offering activities such as basketball and handball tournaments.
The Los Angeles area is also home to The Getty Villa, an art museum featuring Greek and Roman art for those who enjoy indoor amenities. The museum requires visitors to make a reservation, but admission is free, and visitors can also enjoy an outdoor garden as well as a gift shop offering classic books and unique jewelry and accessories.
