Mental Health Diversion

Mental Health Diversion

Mental Health Diversion in California gives people living with mental health challenges the chance to receive treatment instead of serving time in jail. At Avalon Malibu, this opportunity is offered through a compassionate, inpatient program where the focus is on healing rather than punishment. Our residential setting provides structure, safety, and around-the-clock clinical support, helping individuals stabilize, learn healthy coping strategies, and address the root causes of their struggles.

Choosing Avalon Malibu’s comprehensive, clinically guided treatment over incarceration not only reduces the likelihood of repeat offenses but also supports long-term recovery, giving people a real opportunity to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

Compassionate, Court-Aligned Care

At Avalon Malibu, our Mental Health Diversion program is designed to provide this kind of care in a compassionate, residential environment. Our team of licensed therapists, psychiatrists, and support staff work closely with each client to create an individualized treatment plan including:

Evidence-based therapies tailored to each client
Medication management and psychiatric support
Group and individual counseling sessions
Holistic practices that strengthen overall well-being

With regular communication and progress updates for the courts, we ensure that each client’s treatment is both clinically effective and in alignment with diversion program requirements.

Beyond Legal Compliance: Building Lasting Recovery

What makes Avalon Malibu unique is the integration of deep clinical care with a healing, restorative environment. We go beyond helping clients meet legal requirements by preparing them for life after treatment, including:

Aftercare planning for continued support after treatment
Relapse prevention strategies to maintain long-term recovery
Family involvement to strengthen support systems and relationships

Our goal is not only to support successful completion of the diversion program but also to equip clients with the tools they need for lasting recovery and a brighter future. At Avalon Malibu, inpatient care becomes the foundation for true transformation and a second chance at life.
