Outpatient mental health & addiction · Santa Barbara
About

Mission Harbor is an outpatient mental health and addiction program serving Santa Barbara and the greater California coast. Full IOP, PHP, group therapy, individual therapy, and psychiatric services under one clinical team.

Editor's Note · Recovery Roots Editors

One of the few Santa Barbara programs treating co-occurring mental health and substance use with genuine clinical integration — not just dual tracks stapled together.

What sets them apart

Three things worth knowing before you call.

Integrated co-occurring care

Mental health and addiction treated by the same clinical team. No 'we only handle the addiction part' handoffs.

Psychiatrist on staff

Medication evaluation and management built into the care plan — including MAT when it's indicated.

Telehealth statewide

Full IOP available via secure video for clients anywhere in California who can't travel to Santa Barbara.

I'd been to therapy for depression for years and another IOP for the drinking, and neither one worked. Mission Harbor was the first place that treated them together like they actually were.
