With the quiet prominence of serious emotional disorders, the focus among the scientific community and the general populace is as simple as eliminating the problem and moving on, but the mind isn’t as cut and dry.
Inpatient mental health programs must take a human approach to anyone suffering from any condition to guarantee success in therapy. This means that the approach to treatment and the place you get that treatment from is an important decision to take, as detached recovery can set back the health of a patient, leaving them in a worse condition before entering a given inpatient psychiatric facility.
There are a lot of psychiatric residential treatment centers and rehab in California, but to choose the best inpatient mental health facilities for you or your loved ones, you must think of three things: Their philosophy, the staff, and the facility itself.
There is a misconception that mental health treatment facilities are square buildings with gray walls, sealed windows, and tired faces. As a general rule, this is not the case, but certain facilities, such as us, do try their best to design the residence so it feels more inviting, looking more like a retreat and much less like the described prison.
To ensure that, our building is filled with natural light, warm colors, and open spaces with touches of green to stimulate an environment of calm reflection. You can count on us for comfortable rooms, public spaces made for sharing, a vast garden to enjoy during walks, a nice neighborhood, a view of the city beyond the valley, tasty meals, and recreation in the form of tv, fitness, crafts, and group activities.
More often than not, mental health treatment facilities are designed for people that are a danger to themselves, so they design closed spaces to restrict residents from wrongdoings. This by itself is not bad, but we believe that the only way for full recovery is for patients to decide to turn their lives around. Without their cooperation, any effort will not deliver results because a person who does not want help will not receive guidance. We strive for an open approach to architecture and treatment because the real struggle is to help the patient regain the will to live, and this is a decision only the patient can take.
To do so, we place these comfort for them to enjoy because every little thing can inspire them through the road to recovery. The goal is to give them a reason to persevere when they go back to their reality and don't have a voice over their shoulders telling them what to do.
Californian residential treatment and rehabilitation centers are everywhere. Still, we are proud to say that our approach to treatment, our passionate staff, and our premier facilities, make us the ideal choice to help you or a loved one in their recovery, as with us, they will receive all the help they need.
