Crestwood Behavioral Health San Francisco

About Crestwood Behavioral Health San Francisco

Crestwood San Francisco is a Mental Health Rehabilitation Center (MHRC) situated within St. Mary’s Medical Center. Only a few minutes from Golden Gate Park, it provides a short-term, recovery-focused program for adults facing significant mental health challenges. The city location makes it simple to access medical services while also offering nearby green space that promotes calm, helping individuals move toward stability and a smoother return to everyday life.

The program follows a whole-person, strengths-based philosophy that supports residents in developing independence. Participants work with dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), use WRAP for planning, and receive trauma-informed care. Peer staff members—drawn from lived experience—help build hope and meaningful connection. In addition, clients receive training in life skills, recovery education, and guidance with job readiness and reintegration, creating strong preparation for success after discharge.

Because Crestwood San Francisco is part of a comprehensive hospital setting, residents have access to both psychiatric care and medical support. They also benefit from nutritious meals, consistent structure, and wellness activities that address the whole person. The proximity of Golden Gate Park adds opportunities for nature-centered healing and quiet reflection. With individualized transition planning and a dedicated team, the center offers a supportive and welcoming setting for recovery in the heart of San Francisco.
