Read More: Is Smartphone Addiction The Same As Drug Addiction?Two outpatient facilities serving the Central Coast and greater Los Angeles.
Our flagship Santa Barbara location is conveniently located off the 101 Freeway near East Beach, serving the Santa Barbara community as well as Ventura, Oxnard and Thousand Oaks.
Our Los Angeles facility sits on Venice Boulevard between Marina Del Rey and Culver City, a few miles from Venice and Santa Monica with easy access to the 405 and 10.
Such a beautiful and special place of healing. The staff genuinely cares about every client, and helps them find their way back to living a life worth living. Sober. Happy.
They’re one of the few drug treatment programs that genuinely cares. They help people change their lives, build a solid foundation and maintain long-term sobriety.
Top notch program. The staff/treatment team is professional and caring. They treat you with respect and show that they actually really care. I would recommend this program to anyone.
The team is top notch! And the facility is amazing. It feels far more inviting that other outpatient programs I’ve seen and the clinical team is friendly and really knows what they are doing!
