Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program for Trauma & Depression — California
Dixon Behavioral Health offers a Joint Commission–accredited virtual Intensive Outpatient Program for trauma and depression — for teens and adults across California.

Dixon was built in memory of a best friend lost to an overdose — to be the program that should have existed.

Our founder
Built in her memory.
Lauren Dean, LCSW founded Dixon Behavioral Health after losing her best friend — a friend since age 11 — to an overdose. It was a preventable death. Had the right level of support existed for her friend, Lauren believes she would still be here.
Dixon was built in her memory, to be the program that should have existed.
You don't have to keep white-knuckling it.
A free consultation takes 15 minutes. It could change everything.
