Situated in the beautifully tranquil and exclusive hills of Bel Air, The Bel Air Home is a specialized residential mental health treatment program with expertise in treating complex psychiatric issues. Treatment is provided to only 6 clients at a time to provide highly individualized attention. 

​

We provide intensive care that results in excellent outcomes and improved quality of life in a loving atmosphere.

​

We are proud to be one of the few double credentialed mental health programs, licensed and certified for crisis stabilization by both the California Department of Healthcare Services and the Department of Social Services. Our commitment to care quality is further evidenced by our accreditation by the Joint Commission for Healthcare Facilities.

​

Our emphasis is understanding the root cause of psychiatric problems. Our philosophy is to start from scratch by painstakingly reviewing all past histories and treatments to determine the most effective course forward. Our multidisciplinary team consisting of psychiatrist, medical doctor, therapist, counselors, pain management specialist and nurses manage every case together and collaborate to produce the best long term outcome for our clients. We invite input from loved ones and care takers as we develop a wholistic treatment program. 

​

Our physicians are some of the top in the field of behavioral health, having had many years of experience as medical directors of hospitals as well as residential and outpatient treatment programs.

Conditions We Treat

The Bel Air Home is designed for treatment of all mental health disorders. Our program has been dual credentialed by state health departments to allow for the treatment of advanced mental health disorders. This program is also an alternative to psychiatric hospitalization or for those who want to continue long term treatment after a hospitalization. Below is a list of some of the common diagnoses we treat:

​

• Major depression

• Bipolar disorder

• Schizophrenia

• Psychosis

• Hallucinations

• Anxiety disorder

• Trauma

• Undiagnosed mood disorders

What Sets Us Apart

Not all mental health treatment programs are the same. Bel Air Home is designated as an advanced mental health crisis stabilization program and is one of the few programs that has a dual license & certification by two state health accreditation bodies in addition to a national accreditation organization. Thus, we are able to provide the highest level of residential mental health treatment and we can treat complex issues. We have the highest staff to client ratio of any category of mental health treatment program offered by the state. Because we have higher standards, our patients receive superior care. We also offer highly advanced therapeutics that other programs do not have expertise in, such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for resistant depression.

Treatment For Couples

The Bel Air Home accepts couples who both want to receive mental health treatment together. Our intimate setting allows couples to receive individualized treatment while supporting each other and strengthening their bonds. Our relationship counseling addresses issues such as poor communication, neglect and conflict to help couples resolve their problems and recognize their value to each other.

Pain Management

Mental health disorders such as depression can be caused by or made worse by chronic pain syndromes. That is why we provide a pain management option as part of our mental health program. Our expert physician has over a decade of experience treating various types of pain including nerve, orthopedic and spine pain. We can also work closely with your orthopedic or spine surgeon to develop a successful treatment plan. 

​

Outpatient Treatment

Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides office based mental health treatment at our beautiful and tranquil location in Bel Air that is not 24 hour residential care. Patients choose outpatient treatment typically because they can not take time off work or school for residential treatment. You may continue living at home and come in for treatment during the week. Diagnoses that we treat are the same as our residential program and include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma & PTSD and eating disorders. We use the same evidence-based modalities in our outpatient program that we use for our residential program. Treatment is provided by our multidisciplinary team of top psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists.

Time Commitment

Schedules for our outpatient program are customized to meet the intensity and type of treatment that is required. We offer different times to meet the needs of those working or going to school. Typically, treatment is three hours per day, five days per week for five weeks OR three days per week for eight weeks.​
