Our Siskiyou County Rehab Services
Find Online Drug and Alcohol Rehab Options with Shanti Recovery
If you are looking for support in Siskiyou County, you may already know how few and far between mental health and addiction treatment providers are.
And the reality is this: it can be difficult to find help in one of the state’s most rural and mountainous regions. With a population of about 44,000 spread over roughly 6,300 square miles, its communities, such as Yreka, Mt. Shasta, Dunsmuir, Weed, and Fort Jones, are often separated by long drives and rugged terrain.
Public transportation is limited: many residents must travel one to several hours to reach specialized treatment centers. Making matters worse: stigma around addiction, lack of anonymity in small towns, and sparse in-person services make seeking drug rehab in Siskiyou County or alcohol rehab in Siskiyou County challenging for many.
Enter our telehealth addiction treatment and dual diagnosis treatment services from Shanti Recovery and Wellness. We are dedicated to making effective, holistic treatment available to all towns and cities of the county, and accept Medi-Cal as well as many private insurances.

Are There Options for Siskiyou County Rehabs Near Me?
Local facilities do offer substance use disorder (SUD) services through Siskiyou County Behavioral Health: outpatient services, counseling, and group programs, some intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and relapse prevention.
However, these are often limited by provider shortages, long waitlists, and the necessity of frequent travel. For people in remote areas of the county, say, in Happy Camp, McCloud, or near the Oregon border, getting regular in-person IOP sessions can be logistically and financially prohibitive.
This is where our virtual IOP in Siskiyou County from Shanti Recovery and Wellness can make a real difference: bringing evidence-based, outpatient-level care directly into your home, reducing travel, cost, and many common barriers.

What Does Our Virtual IOP for Siskiyou Offer?
“Virtual IOP” (Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program) is an online version of the intensive outpatient treatment care model.
It sits between standard outpatient therapy and residential (inpatient) treatment: more contact and structure than weekly therapy alone, but without the need to live at a facility.
Here’s how a virtual IOP generally works:
Services offered:
Live group therapy sessions, individual therapy, family or loved-one work, dual diagnosis treatment (for co-occurring mental health issues), relapse prevention, and possibly medication management when needed.
Frequency & Duration:
Usually 3-5 days per week, with sessions lasting 2-4 hours per session (depending on the program). The overall duration of time might be 8–12 weeks, sometimes longer, depending on your needs.
Technology / Privacy / Security:
Secure videoconferencing platforms, HIPAA compliance, confidentiality rules under 42 CFR Part 2 (for substance abuse records), ensuring privacy is preserved. Participants need a device with a camera/microphone (phone, tablet, laptop), and ideally good enough internet or data connection.
Comparison:
- Traditional outpatient: More frequent and structured; virtual IOP demands more consistent commitment.
- Residential care: Less restrictive, allows you to remain at home, keep many of your daily responsibilities; residential is for when you need round-the-clock care or if outpatient/virtual IOP doesn’t meet the severity or safety needs.
Virtual IOP is recommended when:
- You need more support than standard weekly therapy, but don’t require 24/7 supervision.
- You have stable housing, reliable internet access (or can arrange for it), and can commit to regular virtual sessions.
- You might be recovering from a residential stay, or want to avoid a residential treatment program due to cost, family or work obligations, or geographic distance.
Why Virtual IOP Is Especially Valuable for Siskiyou County
There are several reasons virtual IOP in Siskiyou County is not just a good option, but often a necessary one:
- Geographic isolation and travel time: Towns like Happy Camp, Callahan, Etna, and other remote areas are far from major treatment centers. Driving two or more hours several times a week adds cost, risk (especially in winter or on mountain roads), plus time off work or away from family.
- Provider shortages: Siskiyou County has limited numbers of licensed addiction therapists, psychiatrists, and dual diagnosis experts; sometimes the waitlists are long. Virtual IOP allows clients to access providers based elsewhere while still staying in the county.
- Flexibility for families and work: Many residents are engaged in seasonal work (agriculture, forestry, tourism), have caretaking obligations, or cannot leave home for long periods. Virtual IOP lets people schedule around these.
- Privacy & low stigma: In small towns, going to rehab physically can feel exposing. Virtual treatment from home adds anonymity.
- Internet access concerns: While some remote areas have spotty broadband, many have adequate service or can use cellular data; plus virtual IOPs often allow for hybrid or asynchronous supports (recorded materials, check-ins) to mitigate this barrier.

Anonymized Case Examples
To illustrate, here are a couple of realistic case examples of how virtual IOP helps folks in Siskiyou County:
Sonya from Happy Camp (ZIP ~96039)
Sonya is a single mother with two children, working part-time and living in Yreka, CA. The nearest in-person drug rehab or IOP center is over 90 minutes away. The travel time and cost, plus childcare, make going in person nearly impossible.
With virtual IOP, Sonya can join group therapy sessions in the evenings, attend individual check-ins by video, and use relapse prevention tools. Sonya is also able to maintain her job and parenting responsibilities at home while building a recovery plan suited to her life.
John from the Mt. Shasta / Fort Jones area
John has a dual diagnosis: alcohol use disorder and anxiety. He’s currently receiving treatment for alcohol in local programs, but his anxiety, trauma, and relapse triggers weren’t fully addressed.
Virtual IOP allows John access to clinicians trained in both addiction and mental health treatment. He’s able to get therapy (CBT, DBT) from home, join family therapy sessions, and do breathwork and wellness modules that help with his anxiety. John reports that he’s had fewer relapses and better mental health stability.
