About American River Residential Services
Crestwood Behavioral Health's American River Residential Services provides residential and inpatient care across two programs. It's located in Carmichael, California, and its network is one of the largest mental health and addiction care providers in the state. They specialize in trauma informed care.
What I like most about this facility is that they accept all private insurance plans and MediCal. It shows a dedication to keeping services accessible.
Exploring the Link Between Physical and Mental Health
Crestwood's Heart Healthy Diet is a menu low in saturated fats and sodium. It's offered as part of American River's programs and is designed to accommodate various medical and dietary needs. With nutritional wellness being an often overlooked area of recovery, this initiative introduces you to how diet impacts physical and mental health. What I find wonderful about this program is that it introduces long term change and shows how to adopt new behaviors.
Connecting You with Employment Opportunities
Steady employment is one of the cornerstones of ongoing recovery, as it provides structure and security. Having a job can also lower the rate of relapse. This facility is partnered with the Dream Catchers Network, a nonprofit organization specializing in employment support. They help clients in all aspects of finding and keeping work, including things like appearance and social skills. They also offer ongoing support once you're employed.
A Healing Environment During Crisis
The American River Psychiatric Health Facility is separate from the residential program. It's a 16-bed unit open to those experiencing a crisis. Staff here provide acute care with the ultimate goals of stabilization and care coordination.
They also connect you with community resources, including social services. It's valuable for addressing the unexpected, but beyond that, it could be the first step on a longer recovery journey.
Addiction Treatment Programs
Adult Program
An adult program in California uses various therapeutic methods to treat a person who is dependent on an addictive substance. Individuals aged 18 and older are eligible for treatment, which focuses on breaking the cycle of addiction and learning how to maintain sober living.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
When a person is struggling with addiction, their actions and emotions may not be rational. Cognitive behavioral therapy in California helps individuals understand better why they feel and act certain ways and how those emotions and actions can lead to substance abuse.Teen & Adolescent Program
Typically, a young adult program in California can guide individuals from detox, through initial treatment, and extends to aftercare. Treatment gives young adults what they need to reset their lives and move to the next stage of life free from addiction.Levels of Care
