About Riverside University - Desert Mental Health Urgent Care

Set throughout the Inland Empire, Riverside University Health System (RUHS) is a general health care system, which includes treatment for mental health disorders in residential or outpatient programs. They are accredited by both the Joint Commission and CARF.
RUHS' Desert Mental Health Urgent Care location (also known as their Telecare) specializes in creating stability for individuals facing a mental health crisis. They counsel clients in their office, by telehealth, or by housecall.
RUHS' programs cater to children, transitional age youth (16-25), midlife adults, and older adults 60+, offering tailored interventions for clients in each age group. Notably, RUHS emphasizes early intervention through initiatives like the Set-4-School program for children aged 0-5, recognizing the critical importance of early developmental support. RUHS can visit clients at home, especially older adults. They also have special programming for pregnant and parent women and individuals in the criminal justice system.

They welcome children up to 5 to come to treatment with their parents or guardians. All RUHS facilities, including their Hemet Family Care Center, are wheelchair accessible.
RUHS adopts a "whatever-it-takes" philosophy, providing personalized support that includes therapy, housing assistance, and daily life skills training to help individuals achieve stability and long-term recovery.
