AMFM Mental Health Treatment

Focused Treatment for Men

The center exclusively serves adult men and male-identifying individuals, offering individualized care plans for each client. This gender-specific model provides a space where clients can focus fully on recovery, free from outside distractions, while engaging in treatment that’s attuned to their lived experiences. Men receive care in a secure, affirming environment designed to support stabilization and long-term wellness.

A Coastal Setting Designed for Healing

Perched above Dana Point Harbor, Blue Lantern House offers panoramic ocean views and walking access to the beach and marina. The private, upscale residence provides clients with a quiet, secure environment that encourages rest and reflection. Surrounded by natural beauty and coastal air, the setting fosters a sense of calm ideal for individuals working through acute mental health challenges. The center’s location supports both structured care and peaceful downtime for clients to enjoy.

Experiential Therapies and Outings

The center integrates weekly experiential therapies — including art, music, and somatic sessions — with twice-monthly equine therapy to promote emotional expression and body awareness. Clients also engage in outings like museum visits, mini-golf, parks, and movies, helping restore joy and social connection. Weekly group meals at restaurants across Orange County offer a relaxed space to build peer camaraderie.

Intensive, Personalized Clinical Support

Clients receive comprehensive care from a multidisciplinary team that includes psychiatrists, nurses, licensed therapists, and 24/7 medication technicians. Each week, clients participate in a minimum of two individual therapy sessions and two family therapy sessions, alongside daily group therapy. This structure allows for consistent, focused work on core mental health issues while also addressing relationship dynamics and medication needs. The clinical team collaborates closely to adjust treatment plans according to each client’s evolving needs.

Family Involvement Prioritized

Family therapy is a central component of the center’s care philosophy. With at least two family sessions per week, loved ones are involved in the recovery process early and often. This helps address underlying relationship dynamics, improves communication, and fosters smoother transitions home after discharge. Families have reported feeling valued and included, and clients say this involvement helps rebuild trust and support systems that may have eroded during times of crisis.

Patient Feedback Emphasizes Connection and Compassion

Testimonials consistently describe an environment of kindness and professionalism. Clients and their families speak positively about the staff's ability to build rapport, listen deeply, and deliver care that feels both structured and genuinely compassionate. This level of interpersonal connection can make a lasting difference in how clients engage with treatment and view their recovery long-term.
