Alsana

Alsana is a private mental health rehabilitation facility in Santa Barbara, California. They provide integrated, Joint Commission accredited care for adults who are experiencing eating disorders. Services include inpatient treatment, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and dual diagnosis services, with gender-affirming care for LGBTQ+ clients.

The inpatient program gives clients a secure and welcoming place to live as they undergo intensive treatment. The structured environment is a great starting place for those new to treatment, especially those with severe symptoms. Treatment plans may include assessments, individual therapy, psychiatry, group sessions, family programming, support groups, and nutritional support (which includes vegan options).

The PHP is an intensive program where clients continue to receive treatment but transition back into independent living. Clients meet several days per week for six to eight hours of treatment daily. Clients may transition directly into the PHP after completing residential treatment.

The IOP is a step down from PHP treatment. The treatment schedule is more flexible and meets for shorter sessions than PHP sessions.

Clients with an eating disorder often have a co-occurring mental health disorder (like depression or anxiety). Specialized co-occurring disorder treatment addresses both problems at once, which can lower the risk of relapse.

Alsana accepts many major insurance companies, including Cigna, Humana, Optum, MultiPlan, and Kaiser Permanente. Clients should confirm their coverage before enrolling in a program, as out of network benefits may vary.
