Construction and Economic Impact

Construction has begun on the 18-acre campus located at the intersection of Harvill Avenue and Placentia Avenue. The project is expected to generate hundreds of permanent jobs and millions of dollars in taxes and spending, significantly benefiting the local economy.

The Youth and Family Care Center will provide outpatient care, a Children's Crisis Residential Program, a Short Term Residential Therapeutic Program, and accommodations for families while their children are in treatment. The Wellness and Education Center will offer intensive outpatient substance use prevention and treatment programs, perinatal specialized programs, a children's eating disorder intensive outpatient program, primary care, dentistry, imaging, and a pharmacy. The Recovery Center will include adult and youth behavioral health urgent care, a sobering center, crisis residential treatment, and residential substance use disorder treatment and detox programs. The Residences will provide supportive housing, recovery residences, and residential behavioral health programs. The Restorative Care facility will feature an Adult Residential Facility and a Mental Health Rehabilitation Center.

Community Amenities

To promote holistic recovery and community interaction, The Wellness Village will include green spaces and gardens for relaxation and meditation, sports courts and an activity lawn for physical activity and recreation, a public market and café for community gatherings, community meeting spaces for local events and activities, and boarding facilities for pets while their owners receive treatment.
