About Alter Behavioral Health - San Juan Capistrano
This rehabilitation center in San Juan Capistrano provides support for adults dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), along with issues such as substance use disorders or autism. Treatment begins with crisis stabilization and may extend to residential care or partial hospitalization (PHP). With each person, the center delivers daily guidance, a structured schedule, and family participation to strengthen recovery and support lasting change.
The program combines proven clinical therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), together with supportive holistic options like yoga, art therapy, and mindfulness practices. Clients work on practical life skills, healthier communication, and greater emotional strength. Care is tailored to each individual’s mental, emotional, and social situation, focusing on overall wellbeing rather than symptoms alone.
Residents receive a calm, home-like environment with private rooms, scenic mountain views, meals prepared by a chef, and clinical staff available around the clock. The day includes activities such as fitness, nature walks, games, journaling, and other therapeutic routines. This safe setting gives clients the space to rest, heal, and reconnect. Families also take part through regular updates and education, helping recovery continue for the whole support system.
