River Crest is a modern 80-bed hospital, specializing in the treatment of behavioral health and chemical dependency disorders that can afflict persons of all ages, from children and adolescents to adults and the elderly. Our continuum of care includes evaluation, crisis stabilization, treatment, education, prevention, and aftercare.
River Crest Hospital is part of Universal Health Services, Inc., one of the largest providers of high-quality healthcare in the nation. Our hospital has been accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).
River Crest Hospital is probably nothing like any preconceived notion you might have of what a psychiatric hospital looks or feels like. Conveniently located on Arden Road off of Loop 306 in San Angelo, Texas, it is situated on 13 acres of land. The quiet, peaceful setting provides a therapeutic environment that's very conducive to recovery.
From the moment a patient enters River Crest Hospital, they are treated with dignity and respect. The staff never lose sight of the fact that they provide care and comfort to people in need. The patients and families that rely upon them are fellow human beings, and they will receive respectful and dignified treatment from all of our staff at all times.
You will have an initial evaluation with one of our counselors, and if hospitalization is indicated, we will gladly answer questions you may have. If you are admitted, you will be asked to authorize a release of information to the therapist or doctor who may have referred you, or to your employee assistance counselor or school. You don't have to authorize any of these, but we recommend that you do, since these professionals will play an important role in planning for discharge.
River Crest Hospital recognizes the importance of providing patients with clean, safe and comfortable living accommodations. In addition to semi-private rooms with private baths, each unit has its own living room, group room and laundry. A recreation area with a walking track is connected to the wings of the hospital.
Privacy is respected and staff works collectively to make patient's treatment experience pleasant and productive.
The facility features a tranquil outdoor courtyard for relaxation, socialization, and quiet reflection.
Maintaining a well-balanced diet is another important component of the recovery process. Patients enjoy wholesome meals prepared by River Crest's dietary team.
Exercise and recreational activities are important to the recovery process. Patients can relax and unwind in the recreation room.
Length of stay is determined by what your needs are, so it can range anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Your individualized treatment plan focuses on what can be accomplished in the shortest period of time. With this foundation for progress, you can continue treatment in an outpatient setting.
River Crest Hospital is open 24-hours a day, 7 days a week to diagnose and treat mental illness and chemical dependency.
