About Crestwood Behavioral Health Inc
Crestwood Behavioral Health in Bakersfield has supported adults facing mental health challenges since 1998. The organization provides multiple care options, such as a mental health rehabilitation center, a residential program, and a psychiatric health facility. Crestwood is centered on healing, self-improvement, and a return to everyday community life, using a whole-person approach to address each individual’s needs.
Every person at Crestwood follows the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP), which guides them in tracking symptoms, taking an active role in their recovery, and making positive changes in their lives. Crestwood also delivers dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), helping clients build practical skills for managing emotions, practicing mindfulness, and strengthening relationships. Participants attend weekly one-on-one therapy and group sessions designed to reinforce coping strategies and increase confidence.
The Bridge Program is a residential option designed for 15 adults who are engaged in recovery but require additional structure and assistance. The environment is intended to feel comfortable and familiar, with opportunities for family and friends to be involved. Staff and clients collaborate to shape group activities that respect cultural, spiritual, and emotional preferences. Skill-building and life training are key components, supporting long-term progress.
At the Crestwood Behavioral Health Center, the emphasis is on preparing clients with tools to reconnect with their communities. Programming includes classes, therapy, peer mentoring, and community service. Some clients also take part in job training. For adults who experience both mental health and substance use concerns, Crestwood offers a compassionate treatment pathway grounded in 12-step principles.
The Psychiatric Health Facility at Crestwood Bakersfield supports adults who are in a mental health crisis. With 16 beds, it offers a quiet and secure space that includes group areas, a serenity room, and a welcoming dining setting. Clients receive round-the-clock nursing support, therapy, medication management, and help creating a plan for the next stage of recovery and reintegration.
