About this facility
Located in El Paso, Texas, Rio Vista Behavioral Health offers a safe and structured setting for adults and adolescents ages 11-17 navigating mental health and co-occurring substance use challenges. They offer a full continuum of care, including intensive inpatient treatment, detox, day treatment (PHP), and intensive outpatient programs (IOP). Rio Vista also features specialty services for the LGBTQ+ community, veterans, and medically complex clients, tailoring support to individual needs and identities.
Clients at Rio Vista engage in a blend of individual, group, and trauma-informed therapies that promote healing at every level. Modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and activity therapy are used to build communication, emotional regulation, and problem-solving skills. With an emphasis on collaboration and consistency, care teams help each client make meaningful progress toward stability and empowerment.
Rio Vista’s facility features age-specific units designed for safety, structure, and peer connection. Comfortable private or semi-private rooms provide a sense of personal space, while sensory-friendly environments and outdoor areas create opportunities for exercise or quiet reflection. Adolescents also participate in structured schooling and therapeutic recreation to maintain routine and engagement during treatment.
Rio Vista begins discharge planning on the day of admission, recognizing that recovery extends beyond a client’s time in treatment. Each client receives a personalized aftercare plan, which may include referrals to outpatient programs, community-based resources, and support groups. This thoughtful approach helps clients maintain momentum and stay connected as they continue their healing journey beyond Rio Vista.
