A Mission For Michael (AMFM) offers mental health and dual diagnosis programming at varying levels of care, from intensive outpatient to residential inpatient treatment in California. With over a decade of experience in providing compassionate and reliable care, AMFM is dedicated to providing comprehensive personalized treatment plans to help you or your loved one. AMFM’s residential treatment centers in California offer evidence-based treatment programs tailored to your specific needs. Residential treatment programs offer supportive and safe environments for anyone struggling with their mental health.
AMFM’s Residential Mental Health Facilities in California are developed to provide a higher level of care and stable, safe environments to those struggling with mental health disorders and substance use disorders. Residential inpatient facilities offer a combination of group and individual therapies to help clients–adults and adolescents alike–overcome their struggles in a safe environment. With mental health disorders and substance abuse, inpatient facilities can be useful, because they provide 24/7 access to health care on-site, and when necessary, stabilization and detoxification.
While intensive outpatient treatment can be helpful in some cases, AMFM’s residential treatment in California allows you to put your recovery at the forefront in a nurturing and supportive environment. AMFM takes a holistic approach to mental health treatment, providing a combination of therapeutic care: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Group Therapy, and more. Studies have shown that residential programming can “achieve improvements in recovery from [alcohol and other drug] use, depression, anxiety, wellbeing,” and more.1
AMFM’s goal is to help you or your loved one build reliable coping mechanisms, unlock a higher quality of life and to grow behavioral health tools, creating long-term recovery that lasts beyond your residential stay. Searching for a reliable residential treatment center in California can be emotional, overwhelming and confusing, with many options and directions. The AMFM team is trained to help you every step of the way, but especially in taking these first few scary steps: the initial intake through the admissions process.
We accept most major insurance providers and can check your coverage levels for you.
If we are not an appropriate provider for care, we will assist in finding a care provider that can help.
It’s estimated that more than one in five U.S. adults live with a mental illness.2
AMFM has extensive experience treating a variety of mental health conditions and substance use disorders through dual diagnosis treatment and evidence-based therapies, including but not limited to the following:
Upon admittance to an AMFM residential facility, clients are treated with the utmost care and attention, without shame or judgment.
AMFM recognizes the importance of patient-centered care, and works to ensure that all treatment programs take an empathetic and non-judgmental approach to behavioral growth.3
At AMFM’s California residential mental health programs, you or your loved one can expect a mix of therapeutic care, personalized treatment plans, and compassionate case management. Holistic care is key to lasting wellness, and our treatment plans are designed to offer a combination of tools for your metaphorical toolkit, including but not limited to the following types of therapeutic care:
CBT helps people struggling with their mental health to restructure and reprogram their maladaptive and negative thinking processes. The effectiveness of retraining cognitive and emotional processing is a life skill that lasts long beyond a residential stay.
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.
In both inpatient and outpatient programs, group therapy is a primary form of therapy that allows people to feel less alone in their struggles, by relating to their peers. Groups can span a variety of focus-areas and backgrounds.
At AMFM’s treatment facilities, virtual therapy for families is available on a weekly basis, because many mental health struggles cannot be overcome in isolation.
Beyond the above treatment options, AMFM’s CA facilities offer weekly outings and activities, like bowling, mini-golf, movie days, and more.
AMFM’s residential treatment centers are located up and down the coast of Southern California, from the greater Los Angeles area, to Orange County, down to San Diego. Most clients flying in from out-of-state fly into John Wayne Airport (SNA) or San Diego Airport, but other local airports can be accommodated.
AMFM CA Residential Treatment Centers are located in the following cities/towns:
AMFM’s California residential mental health facilities offer both gender-specific and gender-inclusive housing, as well as adult and teen treatment, depending on your specific needs. All of AMFM’s residential mental health centers are clean, well-furnished homes, designed for comfort and wellness. The California treatment centers have personal chefs or catering, and can accommodate dietary restrictions.
In many cases, immediate medical intervention is not necessary. However, if necessary, you or your loved one may walk through hospitalization for detoxification in the case of alcohol abuse or chemical dependency. Clinicians at AMFM are available 24/7 to ensure safe stabilization and medication management through detox, as clients transition to their mental health programming.
Medication management is important for clinicians to create a complete and accurate medication list, and to “help to identify patient behaviors that may be putting patients at risk for an adverse drug event, such as overdosing, underdosing, or missing medications, or other important contextual factors limiting adherence.”5 At AMFM, safety is crucial to providing effective dual diagnosis mental health programming.
