About Action Family Counseling Inc Newhall IOP
Action Family Counseling Inc Newhall IOP is a Joint Commission-accredited addiction and mental health treatment center serving the Santa Clarita Valley, Simi Valley, and Kern County. With a continuum of care spanning residential inpatient, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and sober living, the center supports adolescents, adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals through substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health treatment.
Action Family Counseling Inc Newhall IOP sits at 22722 Soledad Canyon Rd in Santa Clarita, California, operating as a Joint Commission-accredited addiction and mental health treatment center under the leadership of founder and CEO Cary Quashen. Serving the broader Santa Clarita Valley, Simi Valley, and Kern County regions, the center addresses substance use disorder, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, dual diagnosis, and co-occurring mental health disorders across a full spectrum of care levels — making it a genuine long-term recovery resource rather than a single-episode intervention. Residents and community members can reach the admissions team at (800) 367-8336 or [email protected].
The center's continuum of care is one of its most defining features for anyone mapping out a sustained recovery plan. Levels of care include residential inpatient, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), sober living and extended care, telehealth, and Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT). The IOP runs three sessions per week at three hours each, offering a structured schedule that accommodates work, school, or family obligations. Transportation to IOP sessions is provided, lowering a practical barrier that often derails early recovery momentum.
The treatment philosophy at Action Family Counseling weaves together family therapy, dual diagnosis care, 12-step support, and MAT — a combination that reflects both clinical grounding and community accountability. On-site psychiatric services are available through Dr. Reyes, supporting the dual diagnosis and MAT components of care. Aftercare planning is built into the model: sober living and extended care, relapse prevention, and job and education support are all confirmed elements of the center's post-treatment framework, addressing the practical and social dimensions of long-term sobriety.
Action Family Counseling serves adolescents ages 12–17, adults 18 and older, and LGBTQ+ individuals, accepting both private insurance and Medi-Cal. The center's reach across Los Angeles County's Santa Clarita Valley into Simi Valley and Kern County means it functions as a regional recovery community anchor, not just a neighborhood clinic. For families evaluating a recovery center that can grow with a loved one from active treatment through aftercare and sober living, the depth of this continuum — combined with Joint Commission accreditation — positions Action Family Counseling as a substantive long-term partner.
A Full Recovery Continuum in the Santa Clarita Valley
What separates a true recovery center from a standalone program is the ability to meet someone at different points in their journey — and adjust the level of support accordingly. Action Family Counseling Inc Newhall IOP offers residential inpatient, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, sober living and extended care, telehealth, and Medication for Addiction Treatment across its Santa Clarita campus. That range means a person can step down through levels of care within the same system, rather than being discharged with a referral list and a handshake.
For individuals and families in the Santa Clarita Valley, Simi Valley, or Kern County evaluating addiction treatment options, this continuum matters. Recovery rarely follows a straight line, and a center structured to provide both residential treatment and longer-term sober living gives its community members a stable foundation rather than a revolving door. Joint Commission accreditation confirms that these services meet nationally recognized standards of care.
Intensive Outpatient and Sober Living: Recovery That Fits Real Life
Action Family Counseling's intensive outpatient program runs three sessions per week, three hours per session — a schedule designed to keep participants connected to work, school, and family while building the skills and accountability that support lasting sobriety. The center provides transportation to IOP sessions, which addresses one of the most common practical obstacles to consistent outpatient attendance, particularly for people early in recovery who may not yet have reliable resources.
Beyond IOP, the center's sober living and extended care track offers a structured residential environment for those who need more than an outpatient schedule but are ready to practice daily independence. Combined with aftercare planning that includes relapse prevention and job and education support, the program's design reflects an understanding that recovery extends well past the last group session. This aftercare framework is a core part of what makes Action Family Counseling a long-term partner in the recovery process rather than an acute-care stop.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment and Family Involvement
Substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions frequently travel together, and Action Family Counseling treats both within the same program. The center's dual diagnosis care is supported by on-site psychiatric services through Dr. Reyes, ensuring that medication management, psychiatric evaluation, and addiction treatment are coordinated rather than siloed. Medication for Addiction Treatment is also available as a confirmed component of care, providing a medically grounded option for eligible individuals.
Family therapy is built into the treatment model, recognizing that addiction affects households and relationships, not just individuals. Involving family members in the recovery process strengthens the support network that people rely on once they leave residential or outpatient programming. For families searching for a substance abuse treatment program that actively includes them — rather than treating them as peripheral — this is a meaningful structural commitment.
Who Action Family Counseling Serves
The center's programming spans a notably wide range of populations: adolescents ages 12–17, adults 18 and older, and LGBTQ+ individuals. That breadth means families dealing with substance use disorder across generations can find appropriate care within a single accredited system. Conditions treated include alcohol addiction, drug addiction, substance use disorder, dual diagnosis, and co-occurring mental health disorders.
Action Family Counseling accepts both private insurance and Medi-Cal, a combination that meaningfully expands access to residential treatment, outpatient programs, and sober living for individuals across the economic spectrum. The center's geographic reach into the Santa Clarita Valley, Simi Valley, and Kern County positions it as a regional resource for communities where addiction treatment options have historically been limited. Anyone interested in learning more can call (800) 367-8336 or email [email protected]. The center is open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 9 PM and Saturday from 8 AM to 5 PM.
