Who We Are
We bridge the two programs using a combination of treatments designed to address acute psychiatric symptoms and stabilize presenting problems. Our clinical team ensures every client receives compassionate and personalized care using evidence-based methods, including psychotherapy and psychotropic medication management.
We offer co-occurring disorder treatment to those struggling with mental health disorders as well as secondary substance use disorders. Our top priority is to assist in preventing and avoiding inpatient hospitalization and promoting a longer length of stay to enhance independent living skills.
Chronic, pervasive mental illness can often create significant impairment and inability to be successful in the real world. When you join our short-term crisis residential program, we can help you expand your horizons through the acquisition of daily living skills with an added unique and specialized component of therapeutic recreation consisting of outdoor activities and social outings designed to revitalize and stimulate positive behavioral changes.
Programs at Socal Mental Health can help you learn new ways to enjoy life and overcome day-to-day challenges. We will help you to learn new skills related to budgeting, cooking, vocational skill development, and assistance to reintegrate into the community utilizing skills learned to achieve independence and autonomy.

Our Story
SoCal Mental Health is a social rehabilitation program born out of love and a true understanding of the challenges posed by untreated and/or unmanaged mental health and substance use disorders. Preston Durnford is the founder and CEO of SoCal Mental Health. He has an intimate understanding of the recovery process and the pain of untreated mental illness.
As a son and brother, Preston has experienced significant catastrophic loss and used those personal tragedies to grow more motivated than ever. His dedication to creating real change in the world led to the creation and formation of SoCal Mental Health.
Preston’s passion and desire to help others led him to take an active role in the day-to-day activities at the facilities. The tragic loss of his loved ones turned into a powerful inspiration to make sure struggling individuals and families have access to the treatment they desperately need. He took steps to create a space where individuals unsuccessful in outpatient care seek personalized residential care.
