Camino a Casa

Since 1994, Camino a Casa has provided services to children and young people in the foster care and educational systems. They have since expanded their services to offer a specialized recovery program designed to treat adolescents ages 9-17 struggling with behavioral concerns, self-harm, depression, and trauma. Residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and in-home behavioral health services are all offered at Camino a Casa.
Their structured curriculum includes intense mental health treatment services delivered by master's- and/or doctoral-level clinicians and psychiatrists, along with structured 24-hour monitoring with an average youth-to-caregiver ratio of 1 to 4. The residential program typically lasts 30-90 days and includes academic support, group therapy, recreational therapy, and expressive arts therapy. Adolescents can also enjoy taking part in animal-assisted therapy with a friendly canine on site and off-site horseback riding at a nearby stable.
Family involvement is a crucial part of the curriculum. Parents take part in weekly family therapy sessions on Saturdays, which include opportunities for specialist support groups and enjoyable activities with their loved one.
The Camino A Casa campus is situated on 25 acres in Camarillo, California. The campus has 7 residential units and 10 on-site classrooms. Adolescents can also enjoy a fitness center, a music room, a swimming pool, playing fields, and plenty of space for hiking. Notably, Casa a Camino is now accepting private insurance.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Camino a Casa provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Camino a Casa offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Camino a Casa works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
