About Carewell Health

Located on Central Avenue near Interstate 280, this hospital-based center offers inpatient and outpatient mental health care for children, teens, and adults. Teams help individuals manage depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, and co-occurring substance use through structured therapy, medication support, and discharge planning led by the care team.
Therapists lead individual, group, and family sessions, and providers guide treatment by monitoring medications and actively planning care. The team uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and psychosocial assessments to help individuals build coping strategies and strengthen support systems.
The hospital runs three core programs: a short-term inpatient unit for adults in crisis, an outpatient clinic for adults needing flexible counseling and medication support, and the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Services (CAPS) Program, which provides therapy for children and adolescents while involving family members in the treatment process. All programs offer in-person and telehealth options and connect clients to community-based services for long-term support.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Carewell Health provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)
