At Crestwood Healing Center Pleasant Hill, we focus on providing socially conscious, evidence-based service practices. Through these efforts, we are committed to addressing four significant universal needs: Meaningful Roles, Spirituality, Hope, and Empowerment, all of which, serve as the foundation to our recovery strategies. To provide effective mental health care, we employ individuals that mirror our core values and offer compassionate care through various recovery modalities. Commitment to our community and the people we serve is of the utmost importance to us. From orientation, our employees are trained to meet each individual where they are, and learn to develop real trusting, non-judgmental relationships. Our recovery programs reinforce our unique community values: equality, tolerance, social inclusion, and acceptance. We embrace and respect each person served by valuing diversity and supporting one another.

To encourage transformational change in the lives of the people we serve, our individualized care plan approach includes an on-site psychiatrist, medication coaching, nursing services, and empowering recovery programs that include Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP). WRAP supports recovery by developing individual, self-determined directives to address life-challenges. WRAP also promote self-awareness, establish goals, and helps persons served take personal responsibility for improving their own health. We also extend an invitation for persons served to participate in our Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program, and partner with the Dreamcatchers Empowerment Network (DEN), to gain on-site job opportunities that prepare persons served for future employment after leaving our campus.

Our connection to our community is of great importance to us. As an award-winning green campus, we focus on building sustainability, not just within our campus, but outside of it as well. Through education and volunteering, we seek to make Contra Costa County a more environmentally conscious place to live and work. Our focus on service spreads beyond our sustainability work, as we fundraise for charitable organizations and volunteer with our persons served at different agencies on a weekly basis.
