Comprehensive Care and Key Features
We treat individuals ranging from young adolescents to adults. La Amistad Behavioral Health Services provides treatment programs for psychiatric issues including depression, anxiety, transitional distress, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, chemical dependency issues, and dual diagnosis for those struggling with both. The greatest asset at our mental health facility is the staff, comprising highly-qualified board certified psychiatrists, psychologists, professional nurses, licensed social workers and therapists who work as a team to uphold La Amistad’s longstanding reputation for excellence and empower our clients as they transition successfully back into their communities.

24/7 Support and Supervision:Â A significant advantage of residential treatment is constant support and supervision provided by a team of trained professionals. This constant availability helps individuals through difficult times and keeps clients safe during the recovery process.

Behavioral health care starts with an evaluation comprising a clinical interview with one of our mental health specialists. Following that session, we provide a comprehensive recommendation to the individual and/or their family for ongoing outpatient counseling, residential care or further physical/psychological assessment.
We accept private pay and all major insurance coverage. We strive to be cost-effective in delivering the highest standard of care while working closely with clients, their families, agency representatives, insurance companies and managed care groups in determining all payment options available.
