Redwood Wellness CenterDual Diagnosis Treatment in Felton, California
Tucked into the San Lorenzo Valley beneath the redwoods of Henry Cowell State Park, Felton may look like a peaceful escape from the pressures of Santa Cruz County, but quiet towns are not immune to addiction and mental health struggles. Many local residents face co-occurring depression, anxiety, trauma, or bipolar disorder alongside alcohol or drug dependence — and too often, only one half of that picture gets treated. Our dual diagnosis program serving Felton was built to close that gap.
We combine psychiatric evaluation, individual and group therapy, and substance use treatment under one coordinated plan, so you're never bounced between providers who don't talk to each other. Whether you're walking in from Highway 9 or reaching out for a loved one in the valley, our team is here with evidence-based, judgment-free care. Healing from both conditions at once isn't just possible — it's the path most likely to last.
Struggling with both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition — like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder — is more common than most people realize, and it's harder to overcome when each issue is treated in isolation. Dual diagnosis treatment addresses both at the same time, so real recovery can begin.
If you or someone you love in Felton is caught in the cycle of using drugs or alcohol to cope with emotional pain, help is available nearby. Our team provides integrated, evidence-based care in a peaceful setting surrounded by the redwoods of the San Lorenzo Valley.
Why Integrated Dual Diagnosis Care Matters
Treating both conditions together
Addressing addiction without the co-occurring mental health condition often leads to relapse, so integrated care treats the whole person at once.

Felton's redwood forests and quiet mountain pace offer a low-stress environment that supports early healing and reflection.

Getting help close to home in the San Lorenzo Valley means less disruption to your life, work, and family connections.
