A positive experience at Hummingbird Healing House

"Our experience with Hummingbird was so very different. Early on, we received our first call from Scott Cranny. Scott let us know that he would be working closely with J. during his stay there. He explained the goals of Hummingbird and the plan he had developed exclusively for our son."

– L. & J.

I am writing to express the gratitude I have been able to observe by the community served at the Crisis Stabilization Services of Solano County."

Hope, Love and a Miracle Reunion in Eureka

"At Crestwood Eureka we have a client who is blind and who had not been in touch with her son since he was 6 years old. Being estranged from him and her ex-husband for these many years had added to her trauma and depression."

A heartfelt thank you to the staff of the Crestwood Bakersfield PHF

"At my time of low, you picked my spirits up. I have been in two other mental health facilities and they were cold and just too “hospitalish.” Crestwood is very different, unique and has friendly staff."

Collaboration Changes Lives!

"I would like to share an awesome collaborative success story for former client Greg. Greg was conserved and placed at the Crestwood Fresno Bridge. Through Greg’s hard work, determination and perseverance, he earned his release from conservatorship early because of the great support he received from the Fresno Bridge staff."

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Making a Difference

"My name is Patrick. I have been learning about DBT for 6 or 7 months at Crestwood San Diego. I have noticed that DBT is helping me in a lot of ways. Before I started DBT I did not handle problems in a healthy way. DBT has taught me some healthy skills."

Two Incredible Crestwood San Diego and Crestwood Chula Vista Graduates who are Making a Difference and Giving Back

"When Crestwood San Diego opened in June 2014, a client named J. was admitted to the program in its second week of services. It was then that J. and staff created and began working on her personal plan for recovery."

Becoming Stronger Everyday

"The time of my life began when I came to Crestwood Treatment Center, Fremont. I feel like a part of the family. I enjoy being with staff, as well as residents. We are able to completely talk with one another and learn from each other."

The Amazing Staff at Crestwood American River Campus

Two wonderful stories from American River

Sarah’ Story- A story of redemption and recovery.

“Even though my recovery was hard and sometimes I didn’t feel like it was worth it, and felt like the arguments outweighed the successes, I wouldn’t change anything that happened at the Bridge for anything in the world.”

Bob’s Story

"Bob F’s recovery journey is an amazing reminder of the fragility of the human mind. Born in Hong Kong, Bob moved with his family to Benicia, and later, as a young man, had begun actualizing the American Dream."

Donna Wigand’s Story

“Together, we struggled against age old bias, fear and a misinformed constituency within the community to establish a safe environment for consumers seeking recovery and their rightful place in society. Today there is a calmness… a broadening of understanding, and the recovery of spirits.”

Julia’s Story

“What I have seen, and what I have experienced with Crestwood Pleasant Hill, has impressed me.”

Reverend Chet Watson’s Story

“The mentally ill are no different than anyone else… they can recover and have a productive life, given the opportunity that Crestwood provides.”
