At Casa Serena, we provide women with a supportive path to recovery from substance abuse and mental health challenges. Our care begins with medically managed residential detox, ensuring a safe and supportive start to your recovery journey. Following detox, our dual diagnosis rehab program focuses on addressing underlying issues with evidence-based therapies. As women progress, our outpatient programs offer essential life skills like Job Readiness, Continuing Education, and Parenting Programs to help them build a stable, sober life. Whether in our structured transitional living or living independently, Casa Serena offers a caring environment where recovery is possible.

What To Expect
We have been providing Substance Abuse and Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Women in Santa Barbara, California for over 60 years.
Treatment for women in Santa Barbara
Our Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills group give clients the opportunity to learn and practice DBT concepts and skills in a group setting.
Our multidisciplinary team of clinicians conduct weekly individual therapy sessions with clients utilizing the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model of treatment.
The Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) is designed to help our clients understand the biology of traumatic stress reactions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) utilizes dual stimulation exercises to help our clients recover from traumatic experiences that result in symptoms and distress.
Casa Serena offers primary mental health treatment through a partial hospitalization program. Our DBT-focused, evidence-based program is focused solely on helping women recover from mental health struggles and build fulfilling lives.
Our team also offers dual diagnosis treatment for those who are suffering from mental health disorders and addiction. Our clinical staff helps women heal from the root of their addiction, which is often a mental health struggle.
Although both genders are susceptible to mental health and substance use disorder struggles, how they experience symptoms will be different. Also, the struggles and challenges encountered during detox, therapy, and recovery will vary between men and women. Research shows that biological gender, the gender we have at birth, plays a prominent role in the development of substance use disorders.

n addition to specific needs related to detoxing and withdrawing from drugs and alcohol (if necessary as part of a dual diagnosis treatment plan), women have specific needs when it comes to therapy models and the therapeutic environment. For example, suppose a woman is entering treatment to address trauma-related mental health conditions (such as post-traumatic stress disorder or anxiety). In that case, she will likely experience improved treatment outcomes in a gender-specific treatment environment. This is especially true in instances where the perpetrator of her trauma is someone of the opposite sex. Women who have been the victims of assault or violence are less likely to openly talk about their struggles in a mixed-gender environment. In a women-only mental health treatment center, women with trauma histories can feel safe and supported as they work through their mental health symptoms.
Located in beautiful Santa Barbara and a few blocks from the ocean, Casa Serena is truly a destination treatment and rehab center for women in recovery from alcohol and drugs.
