Each client’s treatment plan integrates both individual and group therapy, ensuring they receive 1-on-1 guidance as well as the benefits of gender-specific shared experiences. Clients also receive thorough psychiatric evaluations, regular sessions with a psychiatrist, and continuous medication management and education. To support mind and body, AMFM integrates holistic approaches such as guided meditation, yoga, and mindfulness.

Setting into Peaceful Gender-Specific Housing

AMFM’s men’s and women’s facilities are each thoughtfully designed spaces where comfort, safety, and peace come together to support recovery.

Receive Tailored Long-Term Support

A client’s aftercare plan may include ongoing support groups to expand their support network, check-ins with ongoing therapy, additional coping strategies, or medication management. Beyond personalized aftercare plans, AMFM may recommend stepping down to an outpatient program, allowing clients to transition more slowly back into their day-to-day schedules.

Testimonial
AMFM really helped turn my life around. Before going into their residential program I was at an all time low. AMFM helped bring me out of the rut I was in and also gave me some tools I could use when I finished with the program. I highly recommend this place. If you’re willing to put the work in, AMFM can truly change your life.
