With Joint Commission accreditation and specialized sober living facilities, they serve diverse populations including adolescents, adults, veterans, and those with co-occurring disorders.
Action Family Counseling Inc Bakersfield IOP operates as a comprehensive addiction treatment center serving Bakersfield, Kern County, and the broader Central Valley region. This Joint Commission-accredited recovery center combines residential treatment with robust outpatient programming, creating a continuum of care designed for sustained recovery. Their Buck Owens Boulevard facility anchors a network that extends across multiple California locations, offering 24/7 admissions support for individuals ready to commit to long-term sobriety.
The center's outpatient program structure includes Intensive Outpatient (IOP), Partial Hospitalization (PHP), and standard outpatient services, complemented by residential treatment options and specialized sober living arrangements. Their 20-acre SCV Action Sober Living Ranch provides extended care programming that bridges the gap between intensive treatment and independent living. The facility also maintains a Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program utilizing Vivitrol and Suboxone for opioid and alcohol use disorders.
Treatment methodology centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and 12-step integration, delivered through individual therapy, group sessions, and family therapy components. Founded by Cary Quashen, an addiction and recovery expert, the program emphasizes practical reintegration support including job placement and educational assistance. Their therapeutic framework addresses both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions through coordinated care planning.
Action Family Counseling serves an exceptionally broad population including adolescents (12-17), young adults, veterans, pregnant women, seniors, and LGBTQ+ individuals, with specialized tracks for trauma/PTSD and court-ordered participants. Insurance coverage includes private plans, TRICARE, Medi-Cal, and state insurance options, with over 20 years of service delivery experience. The combination of multiple care levels, extensive aftercare through sober living programs, and comprehensive population specialization positions this recovery center as a long-term partner for individuals and families navigating the extended recovery process.
Outpatient Programs and Recovery Community Support
Action Family Counseling's outpatient program structure provides flexibility for individuals maintaining work, family, or educational commitments while pursuing recovery. Their Intensive Outpatient (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization (PHP) options create stepping stones between residential treatment and independent living, allowing participants to gradually rebuild daily routines within a supportive recovery community framework.
The center's alumni program connects through their extended sober living network, creating ongoing peer support relationships that extend well beyond initial treatment completion. Job and education support services help participants establish stable foundations for long-term recovery, addressing practical reintegration challenges that often determine treatment success.
Residential Treatment and Sober Living Integration
The residential treatment component seamlessly connects to Action Family Counseling's specialized sober living facilities, including their 20-acre SCV Extended Care Ranch. This integration allows individuals to transition gradually from intensive residential programming to supervised independent living, maintaining therapeutic support throughout the adjustment period.
Sober living participants benefit from structured aftercare programming that emphasizes skill development, community connection, and relapse prevention. The ranch setting provides space for both individual reflection and group activities, creating an environment where recovery principles become integrated into daily living patterns rather than remaining abstract treatment concepts.
Specialized Population Services and Family Programs
Action Family Counseling serves an unusually diverse population range, from adolescents starting at age 12 through senior adults, with specialized tracks addressing unique needs of veterans, pregnant women, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Their family therapy component recognizes that sustainable recovery often requires addressing relationship dynamics and communication patterns that may have contributed to or resulted from substance use disorders.
Court-ordered participants receive programming that meets legal requirements while building genuine motivation for recovery, and individuals with trauma/PTSD histories access specialized therapeutic approaches within the broader treatment framework. This population diversity creates a recovery community where participants can connect with others facing similar life circumstances and challenges.
