AMFM believes in going beyond traditional mental health care, offering a more personal, deeply compassionate healing experience. Their care delivers results: 87% of AMFM clients say they'd recommend the program, according to the company's 2025 outcomes data. That standard shapes the women's residential program in Fallbrook, where a maximum of 6 clients receive care for depression, anxiety, trauma, and other primary or co-occurring conditions.

Develop Skills for Long-Term Stability

Women learn to manage anxiety, process trauma, and rebuild daily structure through individual and group therapy sessions that include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and EMDR for trauma-specific needs. Weekly equine therapy, gardening groups, art therapy, and narrative therapy round out the week, alongside somatic practices such as breathwork, sound baths, and yoga, plus fitness sessions, both offered three times weekly.

Unwind in Fallbrook's Rolling Hills

Up to 6 women share double-occupancy rooms in AMFM's Fallbrook home, where communal living spaces include a quiet library for reading and reflection. A sunlit backyard pool and in-house gym support relaxation and fitness, while weekend outings to nearby preserves and Monserate Mountain trails make use of the area's oak-shaded, avocado-grove setting. Chef-prepared meals accommodate vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and diabetic needs.

Receive Tailored Long-Term Support

Discharge planning begins early in a client's stay, and clinicians may help arrange step-down care, including outpatient programming through AMFM's Southern California network, so the transition home happens gradually rather than all at once. Aftercare options may include continued therapy check-ins, family follow-up counseling, and alumni events for clients who want ongoing connection after care ends.

On-site family group sessions run every Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., giving loved ones a real chance to reconnect in person, rebuild trust, and stay involved in a client's care. Families who can't travel to Fallbrook can still join these sessions virtually, so distance never interrupts the relationships that support long-term recovery.
