What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Backpocket Counseling Services

Backpocket Counseling Services is a substance use & mental health operated by Private for-profit organization in Santa Barbara, California. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 2 primary care modalities (outpatient, telehealth), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. MAT is not listed in the current record; callers seeking medication-assisted options should verify directly or check the rankings pages for nearby providers that do offer MAT. No street address is listed in the SAMHSA record; the facility's location on file is Santa Barbara, CA 93111.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 8 distinct service lines (Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Mental health treatment, Outpatient, Substance use treatment, Suicide prevention services, Telehealth), 1 substance or condition category treated (General substance use disorders), and 10 clinical treatment approaches (Abnormal involuntary movement scale, Activity therapy, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Cognitive remediation therapy, Couples/family therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, Individual psychotherapy, Integrated Mental and Substance Use Disorder treatment, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy).
