About Riverside University - San Jacinto Wellness & Recovery (New Life)

Serving communities across the Inland Empire, Riverside University Health System (RUHS) is a full-service health system that provides care for mental health and substance use conditions through both residential and outpatient programs. RUHS is recognized with accreditation from the Joint Commission and CARF.

At the RUHS San Jacinto Wellness & Recovery site, services are delivered under several program names, including San Jacinto Wellness & Recovery for Mature Adults, San Jacinto New Life, and San Jacinto Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT).

The center’s offerings are designed for multiple age groups, including children, transitional-age youth (16–25), adults in midlife, and older adults 60 and over. Each group receives targeted interventions. RUHS also focuses on early intervention, such as the Set-4-School program for children ages 0–5, reflecting the importance of strengthening early development. For added support, the system can arrange in-home visits, particularly for older adults, and it offers specialized services for pregnant and parenting women as well as people involved in the criminal justice system.

RUHS works to reduce barriers to care by providing translation services across programs, including American Sign Language (ASL). Children under 5 are allowed to attend treatment with their parent or guardian. All RUHS locations, including the Hemet Family Care Center, are wheelchair accessible.

RUHS follows a “whatever-it-takes” approach, offering individualized assistance that may include therapy, help with housing, and training in daily living skills to support stability and sustained recovery. Treatment may involve medication support and medication-assisted treatment (MAT), multidimensional family therapy (MDFT), and coordination with primary care providers to match care to each person’s needs.

Clients can view their treatment notes during and after care through the MyChart app.
