Mariposa Women and Family Center

Mariposa Women and Family Center provides flexible outpatient programs and intensive outpatient (IOP) services that allow participants to maintain their daily responsibilities while receiving comprehensive addiction treatment. The center's outpatient program accommodates working adults and parents through evening and daytime scheduling options, with services available Monday through Friday.

The intensive outpatient program offers more structured support for individuals transitioning from residential treatment or those requiring higher levels of care while remaining in their home environment. Both programs integrate substance abuse treatment with mental health services, addressing co-occurring disorders through coordinated dual diagnosis treatment approaches.

The recovery center specializes in treating individuals with histories of domestic violence, human trafficking, and complex trauma alongside substance use disorders. This trauma-informed approach recognizes how past experiences influence addiction patterns and recovery processes, incorporating specialized therapeutic methods designed for trauma survivors.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), group therapy, and individual counseling form the foundation of treatment, while innovative equine therapy provides alternative healing modalities. Family counseling and couples counseling address relationship dynamics that support long-term recovery, creating a comprehensive aftercare foundation for sustained sobriety.

Mariposa's commitment to family recovery extends beyond traditional addiction treatment through unique support services that address practical barriers to care. Free child care services ensure parents can fully participate in their recovery programs without compromising their children's well-being or safety.

The center's school-based mental health programs and Enhanced Care Management And Treatment (ECMT) Program create continuity between treatment settings and daily life. These comprehensive services support entire family systems, recognizing that successful addiction recovery often requires addressing multiple family members' needs simultaneously.

Located in Orange, California, Mariposa serves individuals and families throughout Orange County through both in-person and online counseling services. The center's sliding scale payment options and self-pay structure make addiction treatment accessible to diverse economic circumstances, removing financial barriers that often prevent families from seeking help.

Under Dr. Krista Driver's leadership as President and CEO, alongside experienced clinicians like Community Counseling Program Director Sonny Cook, LCSW, the center maintains its nonprofit mission of empowering women and families through accessible mental health and addiction treatment services.
