Who We Are

You are unique – the only you the universe will ever know. Your challenges and issues are distinct to you. Shouldn’t your treatment be specifically tailored to you as well? We at Sanctuary Centers believe you deserve treatment designed purposefully for you, with your sustained success and well-being as the end goal. We have already assisted more than 10,000 clients on their journey to mental health and wholeness, and we would be glad to assist you as well.

Sanctuary Centers offers evidence-based alternatives to the norms of modern mental health care. Rather than forcing clients to choose between intense in-patient hospitalization and inadequate outpatient treatment plans, we offer a community-based continuum of care that includes a varied range of practices and services to anyone adversely affected by mental illness.

What We Believe

At Sanctuary Centers, we understand how difficult it can be to even admit you or someone you love may need assistance. With so many options, even figuring out what kind of help to ask for can seem impossible. This is where our range of mental health programs and services proves so valuable. After more than four decades of crafting treatment plans tailored to each of our clients’ personal needs and goals, we believe wholeheartedly in our ability to understand and support our clients and their families as they learn the necessary skills to master their illnesses and take back their lives.

Part of reclaiming your life is actively and purposefully living it, which is why Sanctuary Centers invites our clients into an environment where they can feel safe and welcome. We encourage active participation in community, both on-site and in our hometown of Santa Barbara and its surrounding areas. By practicing this type of active engagement with the world around them, our clients are allowed to ease back into daily “real world” life at their own individual pace.

Sanctuary Centers believes every unique individual has the power to become the master of their mental illness. No one is beyond hope or help. Our open and supportive continuum of care allows us to treat every client specifically and purposefully so they may go on to lead their fullest life.

There is light beyond the darkness. Too often, in the midst of our struggles, we cannot see that light by ourselves. Let us help you find your way out of the darkness and into your light.
