Alsana Santa Barbara Residential

Serving adults of all genders, with well-rounded clinical care, addressing the physical, emotional, and relational aspects of recovery from eating disorders, Alsana’s Santa Barbara treatment facility treats anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, OSFED, diabulimia, and co-occurring mental health conditions along with substance use disorders. Alsana is known for its whole-person approach to care, going beyond symptom stabilization and into emotional and relational healing.

Reclaim Your Story Through Recovery

Treatment is structured around their Recovery Story framework, an approach that views recovery as a journey within the context of a client’s own life story. Across five distinct chapters, from the initial Prologue through the transitional Epilogue, this framework provides a shared language and consistent parameters for clients, families, and treatment teams. By positioning the client as the main character and narrator, the program helps individuals disconnect their identity from the eating disorder, reclaim their authentic voice, and maintain accountability toward their personal goals.

Build a Strong Foundation with Holistic Care

Providers often refer patients to Alsana when outpatient care isn’t creating meaningful progress. At Alsana, clients can expect staff-supported meals, weekend outings, and intensive interventions. Most clients stay 30-45 days, and during that time, clients receive and participate in 24-hour care, including on-site nursing, psychiatry services, 5 group sessions per day, and 2 individual therapy sessions, 1 nursing assessment, and 2 nutrition counseling sessions per week. In a home-like environment, Alsana provides a safe and supportive space for individuals to lay a strong foundation for recovery.
