Both programs strive to support each client by honoring each individual’s recovery journey, providing services based on strengths and self-determined goals, introducing effective tools and problem-solving strategies, and supporting healing and improvement of quality of life. Through the provision of socially conscious, evidence-based service practices, we are committed to addressing four significant universal needs, or pillars, upon which our recovery strategies are based: Meaningful Roles, Spirituality, Hope, and Empowerment.

All of our staff receives training in Trauma-Informed Approaches. We are dedicated to providing care that is supportive and productive, and we value mindfulness.

Our programs offer Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP), which supports recovery by developing individual, self-determined directives to address life-challenges, promote self-awareness, establish and focus on goals, and take personal responsibility for improving one’s own health.

Crestwood’s American River campus extends an invitation to those receiving services here to participate in our Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program. Classes introducing DBT concepts and tools are offered at our Psychiatric Health Facility, and a complete DBT program is available to ARRS clients.

Special Feature

American River Residential Services and American River Psychiatric Health Facility are participants in the Crestwood Heart Healthy Diet Initiative. We respect that physical and mental health are interrelated, and believe we have a responsibility to support both aspects in recovery.

We partner with Dreamcatchers Empowerment Network to provide employment opportunities to our clients, recognizing the many benefits of work as a way to increase self-esteem and strengthen one’s sense of identity, as well having an income.

As a community service, we offer our site to local schools as a resource for training LVN, RN and LPT candidates during the psychiatric rotation. We also offer a limited number of supervision opportunities to interns in Clinical Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy and Clinical Counseling programs.
