About the Program: Redwood Place is a Mental health Rehabilitation Center (MHRC). We serve adult residents (age 18+) of Golden Gate Regional Center and Regional Center of the East Bay, who have been diagnosed with a severe mental illness and a developmental disability.
As a longer-term residential facility, Redwood Place provides individualized recovery planning, support with daily living activities, crisis intervention, family and social relationship development and medical assistance for all of our residents.
Our residents have typically been served by long-term stays in state development centers, or have repeatedly cycled through acute hospitals and clinical settings, various housing options, or the criminal justice system. We provide an environment in a voluntary setting where residents have increased control, responsibility, and choice, supporting their ability to build relationships and reintegrate into the community.
Treatment is based on the belief that all people have the potential to rehabilitate and make choices that support their hopes and dreams, regardless of their history. Our innovative clinical approach — the Recovery-Centered Clinical System (RCCS) — is a comprehensive, holistic and richly personal approach to recovery. Our model also incorporates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, the strengths model, harm reduction, and motivational interviewing.
