Building Resiliency in Communities

Crestwood Behavioral Health Inc. serves virtually all of California’s counties in facilities throughout the state.

We operate all our facilities on the basic premise that mental health issues are treatable.

Psychiatric Health Facilities

Crestwood’s Psychiatric Health Facilities (PHFs) are dedicated to providing acute psychiatric services in the most empowering hopeful manner, honoring the principles of recovery. The therapeutic environment is restorative and homelike, with warm colors, welcoming rooms, sitting areas and living rooms to provide a soft place to land at a time of greatest need and deepest crisis. We rely on evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP). We are dedicated to employing the least coercive measures, while providing a serenity room, weighted blankets and quiet space to self-soothe.
