Located at the Marvin Watts Center/Allen J. Cohen Treasure House, Psychosocial Rehabilitation is a 5-day per week, structured classroom program that targets adults diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illnesses. Recovery and personal growth are a priority in tandem with community support services. Services are designed to enhance the already-present strengths of the individuals served or to offer crisis intervention as needed. All services are offered in an effort to help people achieve their goals.
Our Goals:
- To help clients deal with stigma associated with mental illness
- To assist clients to become independent as possible
- To provide crisis intervention as needed
- To advocate on behalf of individuals who cannot advocate for themselves
- To promote the self-worth of all served
The Psychosocial Rehabilitation program at Carlsbad Mental Health Center consists of eight main areas of work:
- Psychiatric
- Social
- Vocational
- Basic Living Skills
- Financial
- Community Resources
- Health
- Housing
Comprehensive Community Support Services

This program also identifies strengths, which may aide the individual or family in the recovery or resiliency process. Community support activities address goals specifically in the following areas:
- Independent Living
- Learning
- Working

Carlsbad Mental Health Center is dedicated to providing quality rehabilitation and care to all persons with mental illness.
