It’s estimated that more than one in five U.S. adults live with a mental illness.1 At our men’s residential treatment center in Dana Point, CA, we are committed to supporting men throughout Southern California in navigating a wide range of mental health conditions. Our inpatient program is tailored to the specific needs of men, providing the resources and therapeutic support needed to recover from trauma, manage mood disorders, and address other mental health challenges.
AMFM Mental Health Treatment has extensive experience treating a variety of mental health conditions through evidence-based therapies, including but not limited to the following:
Recovery can feel isolating; our mental health program in Dana Point can provide cohesive treatment plans to help you or your loved one as you move forward.
Men facing anxiety often benefit from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to challenge negative thought patterns and mindfulness techniques to reduce stress. Our anxiety treatment program helps men develop coping strategies and regain control over their daily lives.
Treatment for depression in men typically includes a combination of psychotherapy, such as CBT or interpersonal therapy, and, if necessary, medication management. Our approach focuses on helping men identify triggers, build resilience, and rediscover purpose.
Men experiencing psychosis are supported through antipsychotic medication and therapies tailored to address delusions or hallucinations. Our psychosis treatment approach emphasizes restoring stability and providing tools to navigate challenges effectively.
Panic attacks in men are treated through relaxation techniques, exposure therapy, and medications when needed to manage acute symptoms. Our panic attack program teaches men practical skills to reduce fear and regain confidence in managing triggering situations.
For men recovering from trauma, treatments such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can be transformative. Our care emphasizes creating a safe space where men can process their experiences and rebuild their lives.
Men struggling with PTSD benefit from therapies like prolonged exposure (PE) and trauma-informed CBT to reduce symptoms and process traumatic memories. Our PTSD treatment program equips men with the tools to reclaim their lives and achieve emotional balance.
Men with bipolar disorder benefit from mood stabilization through medication and therapeutic care to manage triggers and maintain balance. Our bipolar treatment program empowers men to recognize early warning signs and develop strategies for long-term stability.
Paranoia in men is treated with a combination of antipsychotic medications and cognitive therapies to address distrust and improve interpersonal relationships. We provide a structured environment that helps men feel secure while addressing their concerns.
As a resident at our Dana Point inpatient facility, you will have access to a wide selection of mental and behavioral health services. These mental health services include one-on-one therapy sessions, group counseling, 24/7 access to clinical support staff, and experiential activities that provide emotional balance and promote personal development. Our dedicated clinical team is committed to guiding you toward meaningful progress in a supportive and healing inpatient mental health treatment setting.

Additionally, we incorporate medication management and holistic practices such as mindfulness and meditation to address diverse mental health challenges. With customized treatment plans aimed at building effective coping mechanisms, our inpatient program provides a supportive, structured setting where men can achieve lasting recovery and enhance their overall mental well-being.
Studies have shown that residential programming can “achieve improvements in recovery from depression, anxiety, wellbeing,” and more.”2 From traditional modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to holistic practices such as yoga and mindfulness, we offer specialized treatments that support individuals in overcoming challenges and enhancing their well-being. Detailed descriptions of each therapy and their unique benefits are available further in this section.
DBT, or “talk therapy,” helps process emotions by talking through situations with a qualified individual, in order to move forward with healthier ways of navigating interpersonal relationships, minimizing physical and emotional stress.
Our individual therapy sessions for men provide a safe, one-on-one space to explore personal challenges and develop effective coping strategies, utilizing evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). These tailored sessions focus on addressing root causes of mental health concerns and fostering long-term resilience.
Our inpatient program integrates holistic therapies into our treatment plans to address the mind-body connection, using mindfulness, yoga, meditation, and nutritional guidance. These practices enhance overall well-being and complement evidence-based therapies for comprehensive healing.
Mental health treatment programs usually offer virtual family support groups and resources for family members on a regular basis. At AMFM Mental Health Treatment, we know that healing and growing can take a village, and you and your loved ones are in good hands.
