Crestwood Behavioral Health - Angwin

overview

Crestwood Center is a Mental Health Rehabilitation Center located in Angwin, amidst the beautiful hills of the Napa Valley.  The facility provides a versatile array of classes for clients to participate in during their recovery program and encourages active participation in treatment planning from the moment of admission.

The facility also exemplifies Crestwood's commitment to providing mental health consumers with the kind of care that puts them on the road to recovery. All consumers at this center, regardless of their treatment focus or their specific program details, are eligible to participate in the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) program, a self-help recovery system designed to decrease symptoms, increase personal responsibility and improve the quality of life.

Crestwood Center at Napa Valley offers Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). DBT is a form of therapy developed by Marsha Linehan Ph.D. at the University of Washington that is an evidence-based practice used to treat clients with Borderline Personality Disorder. DBT assists clients in learning skills to help them to regulate their emotional responses to situations that occur in their lives that they may have previously responded to in a self-destructive or aggressive manner.  DBT consists of individual therapy sessions that are held weekly with an individual therapist to review events from the past week, and diary cards that a client keeps daily and follows the treatment hierarchy.  Also weekly 2-5 hour skills training classes are held that focus on emotional regulation skills, mindfulness skills, interpersonal effectiveness skills, and distress tolerance skills. Classes at the Crestwood Center include core recovery programs, and music and art therapy. Additionally, there is a certified drug and alcohol counselor on-site and weekly Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings. As part of their treatment, residents at the Angwin facility participate in group outings, visiting some of the natural and cultural treasures unique to the region. The Center has a very active pre-vocational program where clients can learn skills to prepare them for work in the community. The program also gives clients the opportunity to work in various positions at the facility for a wage through the Dreamcatchers Empowerment Network.
