24/7 Doctor-Led Residential Mental Health Care
AMFM Mental Health Treatment provides continuous psychiatric care in safe, residential environments for adults managing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, and other complex mental health challenges. Every client receives an individualized treatment plan created by doctoral-level clinicians, supported by around-the-clock nursing care. This high-acuity approach ensures consistency, safety, and compassionate clinical attention for those needing stabilization and focused recovery.
Integrated Evidence-Based and Holistic Therapies
Treatment draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-informed care. These evidence-based therapies are complemented by holistic and experiential modalities such as equine therapy, yoga, art and music therapy, and mindfulness practices. Together, they help clients build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience while restoring balance between mind and body.
Gender-Specific and Inclusive Programs
AMFM offers both gender-specific and LGBTQ+ inclusive programs, allowing each client to engage in a therapeutic environment that best matches their comfort and needs. Gender-specific residences and groups create a space for exploring identity, trauma, and relationships with peers who share similar experiences, while inclusive housing and care ensure every individual feels respected and supported throughout treatment.
Home-Like Settings Focused on Stability and Connection
Residences accommodate a small number of clients at a time, providing both private and shared rooms within a calm and restorative home setting. Chef-prepared meals, fitness options, and guided wellness routines help clients re-establish daily structure and self-care. Comfortable communal spaces and outdoor gardens promote rest, safety, and connection, key elements in building stability and confidence.
Support for Life Beyond Residential Care
Discharge planning begins early in treatment to support a smooth transition after residential care. Clinical teams coordinate ongoing therapy, medication management, and connections to community providers to maintain continuity. Group therapy and peer connection remain central to recovery, encouraging clients to build relationships that support lasting wellness and independence.
