What is a Residential Mental Health Facility?

Long-term residential mental health facilities are designed to offer resources, structure and treatment plans to those struggling with a variety of mental health conditions and substance use disorders. Because these are inpatient behavioral health programs, they offer a more holistic and hands-on approach to treatment than an outpatient facility might, with 24/7 access to health care and personalized treatment plans.

While both outpatient and inpatient facilities can be helpful resources for those struggling with mental health, substance use disorders, or dual diagnoses, residential mental health facilities in California tend to offer more structure at a higher level of care, with clinical and technical teams trained for live-in attention.

At the end of the day, the goal is to provide clients with a higher quality of life, stabilization, and lasting cognitive and behavioral therapy techniques for when they return to their daily lives. Investing time and energy into a long-term residential mental health facility in California can enable you or your loved one to successfully overcome and cope with their mental health challenges.

Inpatient vs. Outpatient Treatment

Though the idea of outpatient treatment may feel more manageable on first glance, and very well may be the right option for you, long-term residential mental health facilities offer a higher level of care, and as a result, are often more effective and successful for long-term recovery. According to recent studies, clients in residential treatment were found nearly three times as likely as clients in outpatient treatment to complete their course of treatment1.

AMFM provides clients with stable and supportive environments, as they carry out individual and group therapy sessions catered to unique needs. There’s something powerful about knowing you or your loved one are cared for on a personal level, while also ensuring a clinical level of care regarding medication management, detoxification, stabilization, and safety.

How to Find Inpatient Mental Health Treatment Near Me

Finding inpatient mental health treatment near you starts with understanding your specific needs and researching accredited facilities that align with them. Begin by looking for residential treatment centers with expertise in treating your condition, whether it’s depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or a dual diagnosis. Resources like online directories, referrals from healthcare providers, and recommendations from mental health organizations can help narrow your options. Make sure to check licensing, accreditation, and reviews to ensure the facility offers high-quality, evidence-based care.

Once you’ve identified potential treatment centers, consider factors such as location, level of care, and available therapies. Many inpatient programs offer specialized treatment plans, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and holistic approaches. Insurance coverage is another crucial consideration—most facilities can verify your benefits and help you understand out-of-pocket costs. If you’re unsure where to start, reaching out to a mental health professional or calling a center like AMFM can provide guidance and support in finding the best treatment for you or your loved one.

What Does an Average Day in a Residential Treatment Center Look Like?

Residential Treatment Programming

In a long-term residential mental health treatment center, the day-to-day may vary depending upon your diagnoses and personalized case, but it will often consist of some combination of individual therapy sessions, group therapy sessions, psychiatry services, and more. AMFM combines holistic and evidence-based practices in order to help each person overcome their particular obstacles and mental health conditions.

 

Group Therapy

Group therapy sessions can be used to help 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 backgrounds2.   These groups can span a variety of backgrounds, including but not limited to art therapy, somatic therapy, and narrative therapy.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

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.

 

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is most commonly referred to as “talk therapy,” and is designed to help process emotions. Qualified professionals offer psychological therapy to move forward with healthy ways of engaging in interpersonal relationships and alleviating physical and emotional distress.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

EMDR Therapy is a renowned method of reprocessing most often used in trauma therapy4. 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.

Crisis Intervention and Stabilization Services

A crisis is defined by the National Library of Medicine “as an overwhelming event, which can include divorce, violence, the passing of a loved one, or the discovery of a serious illness5.” The goal of crisis intervention is to provide safety and reduce any potential harm to an individual undergoing a crisis.
