Casa Serena

We have three homes that are licensed by the State of California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs.

Our professional staff includes Certified Addiction Treatment Counselors and Marriage and Family Therapists.

We received “Service Organization of the Year” from The County of Santa Barbara Commission for Women’s 1st District.

Oliver House is the only treatment facility in Santa Barbara where mothers recovering from addiction can reunite and live with their children.

Our mission is to provide effective treatment services and a safe, sober living environment to women suffering from the disease of alcoholism or who are addicted to alcohol and other drugs and to introduce them to the philosophy of Alcoholics Anonymous and the 12-Step process.

In each one of our three unique home settings, clients receive housing, meals and treatment for the diseases of addiction.

Casa Serena gave me a second chance at life.

At Oliver House, my children and I received so much love and support, it was humbling.

The Main House program gave me the tools I need to stay sober and live a full, happy life.

We just wanted the Sarah we know and love back.

The support I received at Casa Serena has been life changing for me.

Being the recipient of a scholarship from Casa Serena has saved my life and the life of my child.

My children’s teacher told me that my kids are happy and well-adjusted. I can’t even begin to explain how good that felt to hear.

Thank you so much for helping me be the me I know I am meant to be.

I will never forget the day when my little girl came running through the door at Oliver House yelling “Mommy, Mommy, I get to live with you again!”

I lived at Grad House for as long as I could – I needed all the help I could get!

I’m doing this for myself and my family.

I have dreams again, and I am so hopeful for the future.
