About Crestwood Behavioral Health Center – Carmichael
Crestwood Behavioral Health helps people in Carmichael, California, who are struggling with mental health issues. They offer everything from crisis care to long-term recovery programs and focus on helping people get back to living their lives. What stands out to me is how much they care about making sure people feel supported in a way that actually works for them.
If someone is in a tough spot and needs help fast, then their 24/7 support line connects them to the right services. They also have places where people can stay short-term to work on their mental health while getting life skills training and job prep.
Their psychiatric health centers are for people in crisis, and instead of feeling like a cold hospital, they make it feel more like a home, which I think is so important for healing. Their psychiatric facility is more short-term, but in those 24 hours of psychiatric treatment, you can learn how to be stabilized and get medication management, behavioral interventions, psychotherapy, and psychosocial education.
They have a 28-bed adult residential facility that helps individuals between the ages of 18 and 59 by providing a structured place for them to recover for an average of 12 months. Their program incorporates practices such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Wellness Recovery Action Plan. All of these features can really help you orient yourself and figure out your future goals at the same time. They also participate in Crestwood’s Heart Healthy Diet Initiative, which tells me that they care about connecting your mind with your body.
