Wellness Recovery Center
Service Overview
The Wellness Recovery Center is a 16 bed, residential crisis stabilization program for adults (ages 18+) who are experiencing a mental health crisis. The program lasts up to 14 days and the primary purpose is to get a person who is in a crisis help so they can avoid psychiatric hospitalization and remain in the community. Our onsite staff includes nurses, therapists, case managers, and psychiatrists who provide person-centered and recovery-based support and problem-solving in a safe and comfortable environment that promotes healing and fosters community.
This 24 hour/7 day-per-week program offers individual and group counseling to build and practice effective coping skills, like those related to personal safety, mental health crisis recovery, and understanding the influence of substance use on mental health. Treatment includes group therapies such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which teaches skills such as mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, as well as movement, mindfulness, and skills-based groups.
In order to support our clients’ medical needs, the Wellness Recovery Center has partnered with Central Valley Health System (CVHS) and Genoa pharmacy. In addition to an initial assessment by one of our psychiatrists, there is also a brief telehealth intake session with the medical team at CVHS who will support your non-psychiatric medications and established medical needs. They will also be available to manage any new issues that arise during your stay. CVHS accepts all major insurances and has a sliding scale for those without insurance, as well as those with insurance who qualify.

What sorts of mental health crises does WRC treat? Most people we treat live in the community with chronic mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and trauma. However, due to life circumstances or a simple worsening of symptoms, they lose the ability to function effectively and/or are at increasing risk of harming themselves or others. We also treat those experiencing their first mental health emergency.
