About Crestwood Behavioral Health Center
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.

Seniors face unique challenges that may contribute to substance use disorder and co-occurring disorders. Elderly rehab in California is designed to address these challenges to provide relevant and safe treatment for seniors.Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT)
Therapists often use rational emotive behavioral therapy in California to treat addiction. The ABC (activating event, beliefs, consequences) framework is used to help participants identify irrational beliefs and reframe their thinking in healthier ways.Fitness Therapy
Fitness therapy is an evidence-based complementary approach to addiction recovery and mental health care. Based on mounting scientific evidence of the benefits of physical activity in improving mood, enhancing clients’ sense of wellbeing, and decreasing depression and anxiety, fitness therapy encompasses a wide spectrum of intensities, from gentle yoga, qigong, and tai chi to weight training, kickboxing, and other highly physical activities.Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an integrative, community-based care strategy designed to address the needs of persons with severe and/or complex mental illness or behavioral disorders. ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.Sound & Music Therapy
Sound & Music Therapy are complementary treatment modalities frequently used in addiction recovery to support clients’ physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing through the use of auditory stimuli, from nature sounds and Tibetan singing bowls to drum circles and rhythmic melodies. The treatment is believed to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and may offer relief for those experiencing chronic pain, which can decrease clients’ risk of addiction relapse.Levels of Care
