Best Psychiatric Hospital Fresno Near Me

4worldlovers: Throughout life, many factors affect our mental well-being. And whether a period of emotional distress is related to behavior, habit or external forces, Community Behavioral Health Center is an established source of help for those in need of acute psychiatric care.


As the Valley's only inpatient mental health facility, Community Behavioral Health Center provides 24-hour care to patients based on their individual level of need. Voluntary admittance as well as nonambulatory patients capable of transferring themselves are both accepted.

We're unable to accept patients who are dependent, nonambulatory or in need of acute medical attention.

4worldlovers: Fresno County and the rest of the Central Valley now have a Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF) for adolescents.

Cedar Avenue in Fresno, that focuses on acute care, stabilization, community transition, and aftercare for youth ages 12-17. The Youth PHF coordinates with families, counties, insurers, and community-based organizations for aftercare and maintaining safety for youth.

We want to answer all questions you have about the care your child receives both during the stay at the PHF and the plan for continued care after discharge.
