About Community Service Organization Brotherhood Center
Located in the heart of Bakersfield, California, Community Service Organization Brotherhood Center isn’t your average behavioral health facility. They’ve been serving Kern County since the 1960s, and you can feel the history and heart behind everything they do. Whether you’re looking for help with addiction, mental health concerns or just trying to find your footing again, they’ve got services that feel tailored, and that’s because they are.
They offer a STOP program, domestic violence program for both men and women, intensive and non-intensive substance use services. Their support isn’t meant to be a one-size-fits all, but is built around meeting people exactly where they are and walking alongside them with dignity and care.
Programs That Reflect Real Lives
CSO has a long history of working with folks who’ve been referred through probation or court diversion programs. But it’s not just about fulfilling requirements it’s about helping people shift their lives. Their team offers several drug education programs and even Spanish-speaking services to help the local community. They’re also big on helping teens and young adults stay out of the system and get back into school or work.
A Local Team Who Knows the Struggle
This isn't the place where you’ll feel like just another number. The staff lives in the same neighborhoods as their clients. They’ve seen what’s happening in Bakersfield and built programs that make sense for the people living there. If you’re looking for a place that’s rooted in advocacy, community and real-world recovery, CSO is doing the kind of work that matters. Some folks walk in here with nothing but a court slip and walk out with an entire dedicated support system.
