Solano
Crestwood Solano Our House is a Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF) that features innovative programs based on Crestwood’s commitment to providing a continuum of mental health care to persons served that puts them on the road to recovery. Persons served participate in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) treatment model, a self-help recovery system designed to decrease negative mental health symptoms, increase personal responsibility, and improve the quality of life.
DBT is an evidence-based therapeutic practice developed by Marsha Linehan, Ph.D., at the University of Washington. DBT is designed to treat persons served with Borderline Personality Disorder and assists them in learning skills that help them regulate their emotions. By adopting emotional regulation skills, persons served are empowered to choose healthier responses to life’s situations, where in the past they may have previously responded in a self-destructive or aggressive manner. DBT consists of individual therapy sessions that are held weekly with one of our therapists who follows the treatment hierarchy, reviews events from the past week, and discusses diary cards that persons served keep daily. Alongside DBT, we provide weekly 2-5-hour skills training classes that focus on emotional regulation, mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. We also developed a home-style, nutritional cooking program that uses whole foods to support the total wellness of the people we serve and encourage them to embrace a mind, body, and spirit approach to recovery.
Programs
Crestwood Solano Our House
Crestwood Solano Our House is a 46-bed ARF or Augmented Board and Care licensed by Community Care licensing (CCL). At Crestwood Solano 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; they are also 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 Crestwood Solano 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), 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.
