It’s estimated that more than one in five U.S. adults live with a mental illness.1 At our male-specific residential treatment center in Lake Forest, CA, we are dedicated to helping men address a wide spectrum of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and more. 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 disorders. 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 residential mental health treatment in Lake Forest can provide cohesive care 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.
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.
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.
Our inpatient residential treatment center in Lake Forest offers a comprehensive range of mental health services and therapy options tailored specifically for men. Our evidence-based treatments include individual therapy, group therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused therapies like EMDR. We also provide medication management, holistic approaches such as mindfulness and meditation, all designed to address a variety of mental health conditions. With 24/7 access to clinical staff and personalized treatment plans focused on helping men develop effective coping strategies, our inpatient programs provide the support needed for lasting recovery and improved mental wellness in a safe, structured environment.
Studies have shown that residential programming can “achieve improvements in recovery from depression, anxiety, wellbeing,” and more.2 We offer specialized treatment options that support individuals in overcoming challenges and enhancing their well-being.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that’s focused on restructuring and reprogramming maladaptive and negative thought processes3. Psychologists are trained to help you change your cognitive and emotional processes in order to outgrow coping mechanisms that may no longer be serving you. CBT has been proven to help with increasing mindfulness and emotional well-being for long-term recovery.
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.
Group therapy sessions can be used to provide structured times to help you understand that you are not alone in your struggles, that your peers are also walking through these challenges, while also providing guidance, suggestions and communications from psychologists with specialized backgrounds.4
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.
EMDR Therapy is a renowned method of reprocessing most often used in trauma therapy. By activating the prefrontal cortex through a series of bilateral stimulation, qualified professionals can lead you through traumatic experiences, helping you to alleviate the distress symptomized by trauma.5
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.
