Solano
Crestwood Solano’s Our House and its Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF), are innovative programs based on Crestwood’s commitment to providing persons served a continuum of care that puts them on the road to recovery. Our persons served participate in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) treatment model, a self-help recovery tool designed to decrease symptoms, increase personal responsibility, and improve the quality of life.
Crestwood’s programs in Solano are based on our commitment to providing persons served a continuum of care that firmly puts them on the road to recovery. Additionally this campus offers an intensive program focused on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, commonly known as DBT. DBT is a form of therapy developed by Marsha Linehan Ph.D. at the University of Washington, that is an evidence-based practice used to treat clients with Borderline Personality Disorder. DBT assists persons served in learning skills to help them regulate their emotional responses to situations that occur in their lives that they may have previously responded to in a self-destructive or aggressive manner. DBT consists of individual therapy sessions that are held weekly with an individual therapist to review events from the past week, and diary cards that a person served keeps daily and follows the treatment hierarchy. Also weekly hour skills training classes are held that focus on emotional regulation, mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Embracing a mind, body, and spirit approach to recovery, Crestwood Solano has developed a home-style, from scratch cooking nutritional program using whole foods to support the total wellness and education of our persons served.

Crestwood Solano Our House is a 46-bed ARF or Augmented Board and Care licensed by Community Care licensing (CCL). At Our House, we serve individuals in a therapeutic environment and assist them in gaining their independence through wellness and recovery programs that ensure a successful reintegration back into their community. During their stay, persons served work together to create a homelike atmosphere, with shared housekeeping, cooking, and other chores; while actively involved in their own rehabilitation and recovery. With the support of our staff, the people we serve are able to achieve their goals, embrace their individuality, and reimagine their future with self-advocacy tools that provide hope and empowerment.
At Our House, persons served are offered a variety of educational opportunities throughout the day from supported community college classes to in-house therapeutic groups, including: Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP), DBT, Dual-Recovery, Medication Management, Adult Education, and Community Integration. Additionally, persons served plan a variety of outings throughout the Bay Area each week. These outings provide the people we serve with unique experiences that create an opportunity for commeraderie with others, and support a seamless transition into our recovery community.
While participating in our recovery program, persons served can also join our Field of Dreams Vocational Skills program that assists them in gaining paid employment, in collaboration with Dreamcatchers Empowerment Network. These employment opportunities are available both onsite and off campus to increase community involvement through volunteer work.
Adult Residential Program
Crestwood Solano PHF
Our Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF) at Crestwood Solano is a 16-bed unit that provides an alternative to traditional psychiatric care by providing a recovery-oriented milieu that emphasizes collaboration, empowerment, peer providers, family partners and a cultivated healing environment. Through our PHF program, we provide the structure and support needed to promote stabilization and foster recovery in the lives of the people we serve. We support persons served who are experiencing an intense psychiatric crisis that is unmanageable in the community. In serving these individuals, our goal is to restore a sense of hope and self-empowerment in persons served and help them overcome mental health setbacks by partnering with them to create a transition plan that enables them to successfully return to their community.
