Vistawood House: Mental Health Housing In LA
Mental Health Housing in Los Angeles
Our men’s mental health housing is situated in the scenic Los Angeles area. Offering breathtaking views and luxurious amenities, our mental health housing in LA is located just a few miles away from the picturesque Santa Monica and local attractions. Residents of our Vistawood home have the opportunity to explore new interests, cultivate hobbies, and immerse themselves in a thriving recovery community within a structured and secure environment.
Acting as a bridge between residential treatment and the real world, individuals can engage in various healing activities, such as yoga and meditation, while also acquiring essential life skills. Our dedicated staff provides support in areas such as resume building and navigating the application process for education. Each resident in our mental health housing receives personalized guidance, empowering them to develop themselves and choose the path that best suits their individual needs.
Benefits of Mental Health Housing in West Los Angeles
Our mental health housing program offers a valuable step-down approach for individuals who have completed residential treatment but are not yet ready to return home. It can also serve as an alternative to residential treatment, providing a safe and healing environment while benefiting from the clinical partnerships for treatment provided by Riviera Recovery.
Our mental health housing homes are thoughtfully decorated and located in fashionable neighborhoods, offering all the necessary amenities. Living among others who share a common focus on mental health provides inspiration and mutual accountability for everyone in the house. The bonds formed within a mental health housing setting often result in meaningful friendships that continue long after residents have moved on from the house.
Mental health housing locations can be advantageous for both local residents and those traveling from out-of-town. Individuals seeking mental health treatment in their familiar surroundings find comfort in staying close to family and friends, and they can continue participating in mental health-focused activities they already enjoy. On the other hand, for those who desire a fresh start, relocating to a new location can provide an extra boost to their wellness journey.
Many people from outside the West LA area are drawn to the beaches, year-round warm weather, and emphasis on outdoor activities. Moreover, leaving behind negative relationships or triggers that may exist in their home environment can significantly impact a person’s ability to focus on treatment. Often, the change of scenery serves as the catalyst for gaining the strength necessary to return home with a renewed focus on the healing process.
Mental Health Housing During Outpatient Treatment
Riviera Recovery understands that mental health housing involves addressing various aspects of a person’s life as they embark on a journey of healing and wellness. We are committed to offering a range of established clinical partnerships to ensure our clients have access to meaningful services that enhance their overall recovery experience.
Through the combination of our mental health homes and the additional treatment options we provide, individuals have the opportunity to work on themselves holistically. Our housing supports their transition into a new and healthy living environment, while the available clinical resources help them transform their thoughts and emotions as they progress through their recovery journey.
We provide clinical partnerships with three types of treatment programs in order to allow residents to choose from the one that benefits them the most. These partnerships include:
- Outpatient Program (OP)
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Options for individual types of therapy modalities provided by mental health housing in West LA include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on teaching people to recognize their triggers and adapt their responses in order to avoid relapse. They learn healthy coping skills that pay off long after this short-term therapy ends.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT helps people accept the changes they need to make and put them into play. It teaches four basic tenets that positively influence and impact a person’s mental health journey. The tenets include mindfulness, interpersonal relations, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance.
Contingency Management (CM)
CM involves using a reward system to help motivate a person to do well in their recovery. Positive behaviors are reinforced through earning things like vouchers for privileges or activities that allow them more freedom during their time in treatment.
Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET)
The goal of MET is to help the person to change their self-destructive behaviors via motivational techniques. The therapist uses MET techniques to help create a plan for the person and monitors them as they make progress with it.
