Step-Down Care at Our Bakersfield Facility
Many patients transition through multiple levels of outpatient care as they gain stability. Bakersfield Mental Advisors' clinical team evaluates your progress regularly and recommends step-down adjustments so the intensity of treatment matches your evolving needs. This gradual approach supports lasting recovery while helping you re-engage with work, family, and community.

Nearly half of all people with a substance use disorder also experience a co-occurring mental health condition. Treating only one without the other significantly increases the risk of relapse. Our integrated approach at our Bakersfield, California treatment center ensures both conditions receive expert clinical attention from day one.

Our Integrated Approach
Bakersfield Mental Advisors' dual diagnosis program combines psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and evidence-based psychotherapy to treat the whole person. Our trauma-informed clinical team uses CBT, DBT, family therapy, and individual counseling to address the root causes of both addiction and mental illness. By treating these conditions together at our facility, we give patients the strongest foundation for sustained recovery.
- Comprehensive psychiatric assessment at intake
- Coordinated care between psychiatrists and addiction counselors
- Medication management for mental health symptoms
- Trauma-informed individual and group therapy
