Recovery and wellness for teens and young adults.
in Lake County, California
Opening Mid-February 2026
Mental health and substance use disorders are deeply connected—and effective treatment must address both together. Sierra Pathways’ integrated care model treats co-occurring conditions simultaneously through coordinated clinical services, ensuring that mental health symptoms and substance use are understood in context rather than in isolation. By providing unified, team-based care, we reduce fragmentation, improve engagement, and support more stable, lasting outcomes for young people in recovery.
Integrated Care
Sierra Pathways’ Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed specifically for Transitional Age Youth (TAY) ages 18–25. Unlike traditional adult programs, our TAY-focused IOP addresses the unique developmental needs of young adults by combining evidence-based mental health and substance use treatment with life skills development, peer connection, and experiential learning. Programming includes support for independence, education and vocational goals, and outdoor and adventure-based activities that promote confidence, resilience, and long-term recovery.
For Teens and Young Adults
Intensive Outpatient Program
Sierra Pathways’ Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers evidence-based substance use and co-occurring mental health treatment for Transitional Age Youth (TAY) ages 18–25. Built specifically for young adults—not adapted from adult models—our IOP combines developmentally responsive care with life skills, education and vocational support, experiential and outdoor activities, and access to Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) when clinically appropriate. This integrated approach supports independence, engagement, and long-term recovery.
From surviving to thriving!
Sierra Pathways helps teens and young adults ages 16–25 move beyond crisis toward stability, growth, and long-term recovery through integrated substance use and mental health care designed for young adults.
When substance use, mental health challenges, or life transitions make it hard to move forward, surviving can feel like the only option. Our Drug Medi-Cal Intensive Outpatient Program is here to help you develop the skills, insight, and support needed to heal, grow, and thrive — with integrated care designed specifically for the realities of young adulthood.
