Recovery can feel isolating; our mental health program in SoCal can provide cohesive treatment plans to help you or your loved one as you move forward.
Every teen begins treatment with a comprehensive clinical assessment designed to create a personalized roadmap for care. During the admissions process, our experienced intake and clinical team meets with both the adolescent and their family to learn about mental health history, current symptoms, previous treatment experiences, medical background, family dynamics, academic concerns, and any factors contributing to their emotional well-being.
This thorough evaluation helps us gain a complete understanding of each teen’s unique strengths, challenges, and treatment needs. Using this information, we develop an individualized treatment plan that guides every stage of care, ensuring therapies, psychiatric services, and family involvement are tailored to support meaningful progress, long-term healing, and lasting emotional wellness.
Residential mental health facilities are designed to offer teens the resources, structure, and treatment plans to those struggling with a variety of mental health conditions in a live-in environment. We offer a more holistic and hands-on treatment approach with 24/7 access to health care and personalized treatment plans.
Our Residential facilities have qualified clinicians on staff, to provide medication management, therapeutic programming, and the highest level of care.
Outpatient Mental Health Treatment is a form of treatment designed to help those with mental health conditions through a combination of group and individual therapy. Qualified mental health professionals lead clients through behavioral health programming, providing personalized treatment plans, evidence-based programs, and psychoeducation resources. IOP programs provide comprehensive mental health treatment and thorough access to health care, but at a more flexible schedule. Mission Prep Teen Treatment offers outpatient programs in California, Virginia, and Washington State, with both in-person and virtual treatment options to meet your unique needs.

Long Term Treatment Plans: A long-term residential stay is considered over 30 days of inpatient treatment. Long-term mental health programming offers a more controlled environment and extensive care in the face of greater mental health challenges. Extended inpatient care helps create lasting well-being and aftercare beyond a quick reset.
If you or a loved one is struggling, considering mental health treatment could be the first step to a higher quality of life, for the rest of your life. You don’t have to go through this alone, we’re here to help.
We allow patients to use WiFi and personal computers during treatment. Access to WiFi can help patients stay connected with loved ones and manage personal matters, which can be an essential part of the recovery process.
Patients should discuss with their specific house managers to understand the WiFi policy and guidelines for use. This can help ensure that connectivity supports recovery while maintaining focus on therapeutic goals. The admissions team can provide detailed information and support if you have any concerns or special needs regarding internet access.
Typically, a person should bring comfortable clothing, toiletries, and any necessary medications. Many facilities prohibit items like sharp objects, alcohol, or illegal drugs. It’s important to check the specific facility’s rules on personal items before admission. You can find an extended packing list available for your convenience.
Patients are usually monitored by a team of healthcare professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and counselors. Regular check-ins, medication management, and one-on-one therapy sessions ensure that the patient’s mental health is closely observed and that any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan are made. In more intensive programs, 24-hour supervision may be provided.
We offer comprehensive aftercare services, including ongoing therapy, support groups, and referrals to community resources. Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition back to everyday life and continued support in maintaining mental wellness. Clients can transition to an outpatient program after inpatient programming if desired.
Medication management is overseen by our team of psychiatrists and licensed clinicians. Medication management is important for clinicians to create a complete and accurate medication list, and to help to identify patient behaviors that may be putting patients at risk.
At AMFM Mental Health, safety is crucial to providing effective health programming. We conduct thorough evaluations to determine the most appropriate medications, and we regularly monitor individuals to assess their effectiveness and make adjustments as needed.
Our team consists of highly qualified professionals, including board-certified psychiatrists, licensed psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, and licensed counselors. Each team member has extensive experience in mental health treatment and is dedicated to providing compassionate care.
As an organization, we maintain all local licensing and certifications as well as working hard to push excel beyond industry standards.
