Affinity Treatment Centers provide a unique residential mental health program designed to care for the whole individual through a customized blend of traditional and alternative therapies. In operation in California since 1989, Affinity’s programs were developed in response to the overwhelming need for compassionate, comprehensive and effective mental health treatment. From the beginning, Affinity has sought to provide an exceptional therapeutic experience that helps patients achieve stability and develop healthy new patterns for living happily and successfully. Each and every member of our staff has extensive experience in providing integrated care for adults challenged by mental, emotional and personality disorders. Affinity Treatment Centers is dedicated to improving patient’s quality of life and increasing personal independence in both short and long term residential settings. Our dynamic team of professionals provides state of the art treatment in an upscale environment that offers the finest amenities for the comfort of our residents. At Affinity we provide the highest level of 24-hour care for residents challenged by mental, emotional and personality disorders. Whether you are struggling with psychological issues, medication changes or the added complication of co-occurring substance abuse (dual diagnosis), Affinity is able to structure a therapeutic program that will help you achieve stabilization and a better quality of life.
Our first step is to evaluate what medications and therapies have been used in the past and why they were ineffective. We have found that many patients have been on appropriate medications but were not on a therapeutic dose. They were unable to achieve stablization and relief of their symptoms due to lack of knowlege by the prescribing clinician. Our psychiatrists understand that achieving a therapeutic dosage is pivotal to the success of a patient's treatment program. They also understand that not every medication works for every individual. At Affinity we have carefully chosen expert psychopharmacologists to administer our psychiatric services to ensure the best overall results for our patients.
Our staff is dedicated to improving the lives of individuals diagnosed with:
Schizophrenia
Bi-Polar Disorder
Depression
Anxiety
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Personality Disorders
Co-Occurring Substance Abuse (Dual Diagnosis)
Co-Occurring mild brain Injury
Because we employ an efficient staff of mental health experts and utilize and administer a wide scope of the latest therapies, we are able to quickly and effectively assess and respond to our residents needs. Affinity Treatment Centers is committed to not engage our residents in "busy activities" that have proven to be ineffective.
Because of our assessments, it is possible to provide extremely affordable, personalized care that is essential to their progress and stabilization. Activities that other programs offer to fill their programming schedule such as "daily reflections," community meetings, program overview,personal meditation and written work" make the program sound busy. However, the cost of staff necessary to run these programs hardly justifies their use in light of what the resident might actually gain from them. We make it a point not to "over-program" our residents.
It is our goal at Affinity Treatment Centers to facilitate the resident in learning appropriate and productive ways to fill their free time. They must learn this basic skill if they are to function in the real world.
Affinity Treatment Centers offer a wide range of holistic and alternative therapeutic services to enrich the lives of our residents and provide the most effective level of care. It is our mission to deliver treatment that responds to the psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual needs of the individual. In addition to treating the symptoms of mental and emotional illnesses, we want to expand the interests of our patients and help them find joy in each and every day.
