Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital is a non-profit, 519-bed acute care teaching hospital and trauma center. It is the largest of its kind between Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area.
The hospital was founded in 1888 by 50 women determined to provide a healthcare facility for the growing community of Santa Barbara. We offer a comprehensive range of services to best suit our patient's needs and circumstances, including acute inpatient psychiatry and detoxification; residential alcohol, drug, and co-occurring disorders; rehabilitation; and several levels of outpatient treatment services in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo.
Our approach to care is integrative, family-oriented, and culturally sensitive. Treatment plans support each person's specific needs and include treatment modalities for dual diagnosis to address those with both psychiatric and chemical dependency needs.
