About MFI Recovery Desert Sage
In Indio, California, MFI Recovery’s Desert Sage provides long-term, 24/7 residential care for adults dealing with serious, ongoing mental health challenges. Along with ongoing medical and psychiatric oversight, the program includes community-oriented assistance and peer-facilitated group therapy aimed at strengthening self-management skills and encouraging healthy, positive behaviors.
Desert Sage is designed for people who have become stable after a period of acute mental health symptoms but still require a higher level of support than what is typically accessible in the community. This may be due to the intensity of their condition or the presence of co-occurring medical issues and substance use concerns. Referrals to the facility are commonly made through the Riverside University Health System - Behavioral Health network, particularly when outpatient care is not sufficient and a higher level of treatment is needed. The center is located within walking distance of Indio Boulevard and is about a 4-minute drive from the I-10 freeway.
