About Riverside University - Hemet Family Care Center
Serving communities across the Inland Empire, Riverside University Health System (RUHS) provides a broad spectrum of health services, including care for mental health needs and substance use disorders through both residential and outpatient settings. The organization is accredited by the Joint Commission and CARF. RUHS' Hemet Family Care Center delivers its outpatient services Monday through Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
RUHS designs its care for multiple age groups, including children, transitional age youth (16–25), adults in midlife, and seniors 60 and older, with services adjusted to fit each stage of life. A key focus is early intervention, highlighted by initiatives such as Set-4-School for children ages 0–5, which supports early developmental needs. RUHS may also conduct home visits, particularly for older adults. Additional specialized services are available for pregnant and parenting women and for people involved with the criminal justice system.
To improve access, RUHS provides interpretation and translation for all programs, including American Sign Language (ASL). Children up to age 5 are allowed to attend treatment with a parent or guardian. All RUHS locations, including the Hemet Family Care Center, are wheelchair accessible.
RUHS follows a “whatever-it-takes” approach, pairing individualized treatment with practical assistance such as therapy, help with housing, and daily living skills coaching to support stability and lasting recovery. Care may include medication management and medication-assisted treatment (MAT), multidimensional family therapy (MDFT), and close coordination with primary care providers. After, and during, care, clients can review their treatment information through the MyChart app.
