Choosing the Best Mental Health Facilities In California

May 7, 2021

Did you know that over 50 million Americans live with a mental illness?

Whether it’s depression, schizophrenia, or PTSD, living with a mental illness is tough. But, it doesn’t mean that your life is over – far from it!

With great support, the right treatment, and a little bit of expert knowledge, you can reclaim your life and stop living under the shadow of your illness. All of that starts with a great mental health treatment center.

Take a look at our guide to picking the best mental health facilities in California.

What Do You Need Help With?

The first step to picking the right psychiatric facilities is finding one that caters to your needs. Not every facility will offer treatment for every kind of mental illness, so you can narrow down your options quite a lot! Make sure you know exactly what you need treatment for by getting a diagnosis from a medical professional.

Then, start looking through some of the mental health treatment facilities in California. Make a note of all of those that offer services for your mental health issue to come back to, and ditch those that don’t. If you have a more niche mental illness, it could be worth adding it to your search term, for example, mental health treatment for suicidal ideation, to get more relevant results.

Look For Inpatient Programs

Most mental illnesses require around-the-clock treatment for more effective results. If you don’t have too many responsibilities or can have someone else cover for you (e.g. someone to take care of your children) you should always opt for inpatient programs. By doing this you can completely remove the stress of everyday life, surround yourself with support 24/7, and focus entirely on treating your illness.

So, make sure to look for psychiatric hospitals that offer inpatient facilities and programs. These centers usually have a more diverse range of treatment options, too, and you’ll have the time to partake in more of them. While one-on-one therapy is a great start to treating mental illness, it often takes a number of different approaches to really help you in the long term.

If you’re worried about the money, try to find a place that offers financing options, or check that it’s covered by your insurance.

Know Which Therapies You’re Looking For

Not everyone will know what therapy options they’re looking for, but you might have an idea. For example, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has been shown as being very effective in helping to treat mental illnesses, so looking for a facility that offers this is a good idea! You may also be someone who is more holistic and will respond well to treatments like art therapy and yoga therapy, helping you align your body, mind, and spirit.

Of course, if you don’t know what treatments you’re looking for this won’t matter. Just opt for a mental health facility that offers a wide range of therapies so that you can try out different options to find what works best for you.

Look For Expert Staff

The staff at your treatment facilities are going to be the people who help you feel better and more in control of your life, so it’s essential that they’re experienced. When looking at different centers, check out the clinical team page to learn more about who will be helping you. There should be a range of staff who are experts in different areas of mental health, ensuring they can offer a diverse range of services without compromising on quality.

For example, at D’Amore Mental Health, we have staff trained in equine therapy, yoga therapy, psychiatry, and much more. We also have a team of registered nurses always on-site who can help with any medical issues and take care of the people in our community.

All of our staff work together to create a collaborative care environment, which is another factor you should add to your list. Having a lineup of expert staff is great, but they have to work collaboratively in order to deliver expert care and a well-rounded treatment program. From dieticians to therapists, everyone should work together to help you.

A Welcoming Space

Psychiatric facilities have got a bad reputation for being cold and clinical, but this definitely isn’t the case anymore! In fact, you can find treatment centers that look like 5-star hotels. While you might not need quite that level of luxury, it is important you look for a place that’s well designed and comfortable.

Your environment can really help or hinder your progress, so the best treatment centers will always be welcoming and homely. You should have your own private room with plenty of space for your things, giving you privacy and a feeling of safety. Just because you’re away from home doesn’t mean you have to go without the home comforts you’re used to!

There should also be nice communal areas so that you’re not stuck in your room all the time. Quality treatment centers should have living areas, a kitchen, and everything else you’d expect from a welcoming home. If you look at a facility and it doesn’t have a warm, inviting feel, it’s not going to be one of the best options for you.

A Community Feel

For a lot of people, having a strong community while receiving treatment is essential for the best results. A community gives you a strong support system of empathetic, knowledgeable people who can understand you. If you need to vent, there’s always an ear ready, if you need to cry, there’s always a shoulder to do it on, and if you want to have fun, there are plenty of others who do too!

Healing and managing your illness will no doubt be a tough journey, but having people by your side will make it that little easier. If you’re looking for the best treatment facilities in California, finding one that values community is a must.

From group therapy to living with others, there are tons of ways community is fostered in a mental health facility. This should be amongst the patients and staff alike! If you feel loved and looked after while you’re in treatment, the process is going to be much easier for you.

Individual Treatment

Everyone is different, so a treatment facility that treats everyone the same isn’t going to work. Never choose a center that treats you as just another patient. The best facilities treat you as an individual and they know that what you need from them is entirely different from what the next person needs.

Your facility should give you a full assessment when you enter, making sure they know your situation and your personal requirements. They’ll then create a tailored treatment plan that’s designed just for you, not use the same one for all patients. As you go through your treatment, the staff will keep monitoring your progress and tweak your plan as and when they need to.

As people often have co-curring conditions (for example, someone battling depression may have also developed an addiction) these tailored plans are essential for treating both at the same time.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to helping those with a mental illness, so make sure to find a facility that treats you as an individual.

I was suicidal when admitted. Although I have lent complete the program yet I’m compelled yo write a review.Sweet and brief: I cannot express clearly with words how impressed I have been with every single person affiliated with the program. Top to bottom you will find genuine, caring people all with great smiles.Just the other day I described to my therapist Paul my feelings that “I’ve had some of the best days of my life” in their care!As strange as that might sound it’s the absolute truth.

I can't say how grateful my family is for this wonderful organization. Last fall a family member was in very bad shape on a number of levels (mental health, addiction), and hit rock bottom. We were referred to D'Amore. A crisis team came out to help us late on a Thursday night. Our loved one agreed to go to treatment. Friday afternoon D'Amore sent a team to bring them to their facility (they helped pack whatever was needed, clothing, etc, and assured them it's a safe place, and allayed their anxiety). What happened over the next few months was amazing. The entire staff is very professional, and really cares.read more

With the proper commitment to positive growth, D’Amore is a place that WILL give you the necessary education, guidance, grace, and support to set you up for success. When looking for programs, my family was recommended D’Amore from two separate unaffiliated programs. As someone who has been to other programs, within my first few days I knew change was going to happen and STAY consistent as long as I did the work. I cannot praise the program and staff enough for how life changing my experience was. If you are ready for the help, D’Amore is the place to receive it.read more

I cannot say enough good things about D’Amore Healthcare. My daughter attended their program Spring of 2023 and the results have been truly life changing. She had been to numerous treatment facilities in the past but none of them produced the amazing results D’Amore did. From our first contact with the staff, I could tell how caring and knowledgeable they all were. My phone calls and texts were always returned and all my questions and concerns were promptly and professionally handled. My daughter talks very highly about the treatment and care she received there. I wish we would have found them years ago but will forever be thankful for their help.read more

I went here around 3 months ago at age 20 for 35 days with severe depression and anxiety, hopeless that I could ever change or get better. Now, however, I feel like it's safe to say that my brain was literally rewired. My old ways of thinking changed andtreatment started me fresh, from square one. The daily education on mental health really helped too and I feel more introspective and more myself than ever. I have new, healthy ways to cope with my anxiety. My life was literally turned around for the better. This almost feels like the beginning of my life, especially now that I see that it's worth living again. Thank you D'Amore.read more

I was excited for my son to be joining D'Amore Healthcare. We arrived early morning and were greeted with open arms and our son was given breakfast. After my husband and I had a brief meeting with regard to what to expect from the program and if we had any questions, we were off and also taken care of with treats to keep us on our travels back home. Thank you D'Amore for your commitment to families that are wanting the best for their loved ones.read more

This is a great place to go if you don’t have any gender dysphoria because they will refuse to call you by anything but your legal name. So cis people would probably find this treatment great, but trans people not so much! I wanted to rate it more like a 3.5/5 but had to round up to 4 :) I do go by my birth name now but still am a proud member of the LGBTQ community. I went here a couple years ago though so hopefully things have changed since then as far as chosen names and pronouns go!read more

My son spent about 2 months in his healing journey at D’Amore. The amazing staffs from intake to discharge gave nothing but amazing support. D’Amore was the stepping stone to his healing and coping with schizoaffective condition. He was treated with care and as a mom, I felt very comfortable throughout his time there. I am that parent who has a million questions and voice concerns. And each person I reached out to made me felt confident he was in good hands. Communication was key and D’Amore was great with responding and providing updates. My son made great progress in the short time he was there. I would recommend any one needing a little extra help, to consider them for your healing.read more

I wasn't sure what to expect when I was told that I needed assistance from a residential facility. The thought of being in a residential facility was intimidating. I am so glad I had the opportunity to go to D'Amore. The staff were caring, concerned, kind, and dedicated to helping me get better. Celebrating victories with house members and BHAs as well as working through things that looked like defeats (in individual and group therapy) was the support I truly needed to move forward.The psychiatrist, his assistant, and the nurse took great care to make sure that the medication I was receiving was actually effective and moving me in the right direction.The implementation of a schedule and the need to adhere to it were so helpful in assisting me to get back into a routine. I am beyond thankful for morning wakeup, daily activities, and lights out. My life had become so far from normal in terms of daily routine, that this was a huge help in transitioning me back into a productive and healthy lifestyle once I left D'Amore.The desire to help and care doesn't stop once you leave. The staff continues to be available for encouragement and assistance. They truly want to see you succeed beyond your stay in the facility.What looked like the worst thing in the world to me, when I was told I would have to stay in a residential facility for 6 weeks, became one of the greatest blessings in my recovery.I'm truly thankful to D'Amore for the help they provided.read more

I was a patient at D’amore back in May 2019. To be honest I probably would have died if I didn’t make the leap to go in-patient somewhere. I chose D’amore because of how “home-like” it seemed and the fact that it wasn’t like a hospital number one and number two because of reviews. Once I got there I was terrified because I was leaving home, my three kids and husband. Day 2 another girl showed up and we clicked. It was nice having someone right along with me. The house was super clean and nice. Easy to follow program and great staff. Everyone is pulling for you and are there with a shoulder to cry on (which I did a lot). If you’re needing an in-patient facility to go to consider D’amore.read more

D’Amore Healthcare led me to a path of recovery. I am so grateful to the entire staff for being patient with me and my mental health issues. I will always remember the lessons I learned in the time spent at their facilities. UPDATE: Thanks to the wonderful staff at D'Amore, I was able to recover from something as scary as schizo-affective disorder. I am now a functioning member of society with a full time job and many friends in recovery. I'm not sure where I would be without this facility, but most likely dead or in a long-term psych ward. Chris is an amazing counselor who I knew cared about me. Joe, my therapist, helped me with my delusions, depression, and serious anxiety. Blaine was a lead technician when I was there and was extremely friendly and downright amazing at crisis intervention. Jennifer was able to convince me to come to treatment and start a new life.

I have been an employee since 2016 and want to share my experience with D'Amore Healthcare. It is a very supportive environment for employees and opportunities abound here for those who want to blaze a new path for themselves! Because of the industry we are in it is a challenging work environment at times but it's remarkably stimulating and there is all the encouragement one could possibly ask for to help in meeting and surmounting those challenges so that one can reach their goals and leave work each day feeling they had made a positive difference. I have worn several hats at this company, both working with patients and working in the office, both overnight and during the day. I have always felt supported in everything I have tried to do, from the CEO and other Administration all the way down, and anytime I have been open with them about my needs they have worked with me in a way no other employer ever has to help me thrive despite whatever challenges may develop. I will forever be grateful for the opportunities I have been given here. Learning how to meet new challenges in a career is always an ongoing process, and I still have much to learn, but I am confident that I will continue to be shown the support and help that I've always found here.read more

I came to work at D'Amore in September 2017. At the time I was strongly against working in an inpatient setting due to standard poor treatment of individuals while in this level of care. I was convinced-due to past experience-all residential settings were the same. D'Amore proved me wrong on day one and continues to prove me wrong each and every day. Starting from management and administration, staff are constantly trained and reminded to be compassionate, empathetic, and kind, and they truly embody these attributes. We are also treated well as employees, which is part of the reason why the love for those in our care is so genuine. I am thankful for everything D'Amore continues to provide me with everyday. We all truly care for your loved ones as if they were our own. We will keep doing this amazing work!read more

She got him admitted right away and assured me D’Amore was the right place for him to treat his needs. The 30-day program he was in was rough on our family, but so worth the treatment he received. He came out a better person, better father, and better husband!He still struggles at times with his mental health, but the program has given him the tools to overcome it and not let it overcome him. He’s also been attending the alumni meetings which help him with additional therapy and regain confidence in himself.

D’Amore is saving my granddaughter’s life! She has mental illness problems and drug addiction. She has been to 2 addiction rehabs, 1 other co-occurring rehab and now D’Amore. The other co-occurring place did very little to help her mental illness and they ended up kicking her out. D’Amore has worked so hard on both of her problem areas and have never given up on her. The staff is exceptional and they really do care! My beautiful granddaughter has told me, “Nana, This is the first place I feel comfortable in so I have opened up and talked about bad things that have happened in my life. Stuff I have never told anyone, not even you.” I cried when she said that because I know she’s on her way to recovery.

Working at D'Amore Healthcare is such a fulfilling experience. One thing I admire about the company is that D'Amore Healthcare values self-care, which makes sense as how can we (staff) share love and care to our patients if we can't provide that for ourselves first? Another thing I admire is the constant checks and balances. We make sure that we are on top of everything we do. Lastly, it makes my heart smile when not only patients say, "This is WAY DIFFERENT from the previous places I've been!", but staff mentioning this as well. It's such a blessing to work at D'Amore Healthcare and watch people grow and bloom from day 1.read more

If you're looking of short-term care, D'Amore is the place to go! The staff are kind, compassionate, and honest. They work to relate to you, and are people you can turn to. You get a chef prepared dinner every night- and the Chef is an awesome human being as well as a great human being. If structure is what you seek, this is the place for you. It can take a bit of reminding sometimes if you make a request, so your stay will provide an excellent opportunity to learn to advocate for yourself!! I felt community and belonging here. I learned to start trusting again. The staff truly cares about their clients and you can feel it. You may feel stifled and overprotected, but when you leave the world seems a bit colder. D'Amore lives up to it's name as well as it's denote 'foundling'; an abandoned infant discovered and cared for by others. You WILL find a sense of home and family here!!read more

As a professional in the recovery field, I wholeheartedly recommend D’Amore Healthcare as one of the top and most trusted primary mental health and dual diagnosis treatment programs in the recovery community today. D’Amore takes great pride in their Build Me Up program which fosters behavioral and cognitive change through gracious redundancy of positive reinforcement, meditative work (a program focused on recalibrating the circadian rhythm), intensive group work and interdisciplinary treatment team as well as their conservative, phased approach to medication. D’Amore offers engaging outings that challenge the patient's on a daily basis, individualized treatment plans and nutritious chef prepared meals that cater to those with special dietary needs. D'Amore is a professional yet nurturing and warm environment.read more

I was a patient at D'Amore for 30 days. Over those 30 days, I participated in the best treatment program and made lasting relationships that I'll never forget.If you suffer from mental-health, dependency or substance abuse issues, D'Amore can help. I've personally witnessed countless patients enter the program a figment of their past selves, and conclude the program a completely changed (for the better) individual. Able to re-enter the world a changed, more confident self. Myself being one of them.I owe a great deal to this program. I have found the tools and gained the knowledge to overcome my mental-health concerns while in treatment here. The staff is first-class, the activities are fun and engaging, the environment safe and clean, and group therapy really helps conquer whatever it is you're dealing with.There is zero doubt, I made the right decision to seek help at D'Amore. Thank you D'Amore, and thank you Erin, and Jennifer for your continued support! Even after treatment.read more

Everything from different types of groups to the atmosphere, to meeting with the psychiatrist made D'Amore unlike any other mental health care facility that I have ever been to. Dr El was honestly the best psychiatrist. I feel like he really listened to me as an individual rather then just another patient and that made me feel so much more comfortable every time I met with him. I love all the medical staff which were very helpful and always educated me on my medications and checked up on me to make sure I was doing well. I can't thank D'Amore enough for giving me that extra love and attention I needed to bring myself back from the dark place I was in. Thank you again so much D'Amore!!!read more

D’Amore – What a blessing! From in-take to discharge – great experience. In a time of need, they have gone above & beyond to assist our family, provide lifelong tools, answer questions, explain everything in great detail & have wonderful medical care. Each & every staff member, I have been in contact has been kind & compassionate willing to help & guide me through each situation. The staff is knowledgeable, organized, qualified professionals that show genuine concern for each patient. The facilities are clean, well-organized, great food & are a safe environment.
