Casa Serena Treatment Programs For Women - Santa Barbara, California

Leigh A. M.

This morning as I wake up to start my week, I am 6 months sober. I owe every miraculous thing that has changed in my life to Casa Serena and the amazing staff there. From the clinicians to the PAs to Tamra the “house mom” at their sober transition house to Chef Karen who prepares delicious meals for the women in recovery daily. I would not be the woman I am today without this program. Whatever your ailment is, this program with help you work through your demons and if you truly want to live a better life off of your substance of choice, if you truly work for that everyday of the program, if you truly listen to your clinicians, then you can be successful and truly live the life of your dreams. Thank you Casa. I have found a sisterhood I will have the rest of my life. I look forward to leading another Sacred Sisterhood meeting in the future!!

Casa Serena is a magical place. The staff is wonderful and extremely educated and the group curriculum is life changing. I got so much out of my individual and family therapy sessions. In addition, the psychiatrist is the best I have ever seen as she’s very knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring. I owe a lot to Casa as this program has completely transformed my life!

Exploitative, Neglectful, and Unethical
Casa Serena was a deeply disappointing and harmful experience. I strongly urge anyone seeking rehabilitation to look elsewhere.

From the start, the facility broke multiple promises. I was denied access to my cellphone for days beyond what was agreed, cutting me off from essential family support during a vulnerable time. They also failed to submit my disability claim as promised, leaving me to deal with the consequences.

When I voiced concerns about their mistreatment, staff retaliated instead of addressing the issues, creating a hostile and unbearable environment. After leaving, I attempted to resolve outstanding matters, but calls went unanswered for weeks until my therapist intervened. Their excuse for refusing to help because I left early was both unprofessional and heartless.

The detox process was mishandled, and I left on more medications than when I arrived. Even when I decided to leave, they withheld my medications for days, knowing this would risk seizures and essentially keeping me there against my will.

This facility preys on vulnerable individuals while delivering substandard care marked by neglect, deception, and exploitation. I hope no one else has to endure the unethical practices I experienced here.

I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have been able to go to Casa Serena🙏 it's truly a powerfully healing and life changing place 🙂 I loved my therapist (Haley) and found the group therapy incredibly helpful. The group leaders were all very kind, compassionate and wise.
I felt my underlying psychological issues (depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc) were all appropriately addressed and dealt with which I'm so thankful for today.
I just celebrated 2 years of sobriety from drugs and alcohol and don't think that would have been possible if I hadn't gone to Casa Serena and received such wonderful care💕 I am truly grateful for the facility and the amazing women I've met along the way❤️

I am so lucky that I got to come here for residential and then to PHP (while living at their sober living) after. There is something really special about this program & staff and after leaving I feel indefinitely supported. So many amazing women have come out of Casa Serena and as alumni they are still involved and so welcoming to new ladies. It’s hard to describe how life changing of an experience this was in just a short paragraph. I received so much individual care and attention from staff throughout my entire stay. I wish every woman had the opportunity in life to get the help they need at Casa, and after experiencing other residential programs before this I’m really glad I trusted Casa with my money and with my life instead of other not so nice places. Best investment of my life 🙂

Wonderful experience. The care here is top notch and I felt all my needs were met. Great support groups, therapy and overall care and concern for my well-being. I’d recommend Casa Serena to anyone with addiction.

Santa Barbara is so incredibly lucky to have Casa Serena in our midst. "Casa" is a treasure. Whether a person has been building up to the decision to enter treatment, or they find themselves in immediate crisis, Casa is there to offer knowledgeable, compassionate, steady and welcoming care. From the minute I contacted their office, to my interview and intake, and throughout my enrollment, I felt completely cared for. My life had fallen into significant disorder, so the professional but personal care and guidance Casa offered me was amazing. There is a path forward no matter how low one feels due to substance or alcohol abuse and addiction.
The people who guide your way to recovery are a cohesive team. An obvious but incredibly beneficial aspect of Casa is, of course, that it is women-only. That makes for a really safe, cohesive environment for recovery. I would urge anyonewho is wishing for or considering the need for sobriety in their life to take the step of reaching out to Casa. With a long history, an esteemed place in the community, and a peaceful, healing environment, you can't go wrong with Casa Serena. Your life, your relationships, and your future will be all be healthier.

Life changing experience! The residential and outpatient programs offered by Casa Serena are in depth, comprehensive and powerful. I was able to address not only my issues with alcohol, but also physical health, past trama and spirituality. The therapists and staff are extremely knowledge and care deeply about every client. The tools and emotional intelligence I developed in this program have allowed me to build a more beautiful life than I ever thought possible.
