Mental Health and Addiction Services in Covina, CA
There is a full range of mental health and addiction treatment options for adolescents and adults at Aurora Charter Oak Hospital. As a dedicated psychiatric hospital, we treat conditions like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, schizophrenia, and suicidal thoughts, alongside substance use treatment for alcohol and drug dependency.
Because mental health and addiction so often go hand in hand, we also specialize in co-occurring disorder treatment, addressing both challenges together rather than in isolation. Every patient’s care begins with a comprehensive mental health assessment, which helps our clinicians determine the right level of support from the very first day.
We also emphasize relapse prevention and aftercare/continuing care, because lasting recovery depends on the support a person receives after they leave our campus. Whether someone is in crisis or ready to take the next step in an outpatient setting, our team is here 24 hours a day to help them move forward.
Treatment Approaches and Programs
All treatment levels are available at Aurora Charter Oak Hospital, from inpatient stabilization and residential treatment to partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment. This ability to move through each treatment level within a single facility prevents treatment from being disrupted as a patient progresses.
During treatment, patients will participate in individual counseling, group therapy, family counseling, and psychoeducation. Together, these approaches give patients a well-rounded foundation for healing.
Each program at Charter Oak Hospital is also grounded in evidence-based practices. We utilize time-tested modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help clients develop the skills necessary to thrive after treatment. Therapy may include prescribed medication for mental disorders and/or medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for substance use disorders.
Qualified Staff and Professional Care
The quality of care a person receives depends heavily on the people delivering it, and that’s where Aurora Charter Oak stands out. We have assembled an incredibly multidisciplinary and diverse care team that includes psychiatrists, physicians, nurses, social workers, case managers, addiction counselors, and behavioral health specialists.
Our collaborative team model means each patient benefits from a range of expertise working toward a shared goal: effective treatment that addresses the whole person, not just a single symptom. Not only that, but our highly qualified staff are trained to handle the full spectrum of psychiatric and substance use needs, from acute crisis stabilization to ongoing outpatient support.
Aurora Charter Oak Hospital also adheres to professional standards, and our commitment to them is reflected in our accreditations. Recognition from respected bodies, including standards aligned with the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and the Council on Accreditation (COA), signals that our programs meet rigorous benchmarks for safety, ethics, and clinical quality.
Referral Process and Patient Support
Anyone can make a referral or reach out to Aurora Charter Oak Hospital. Whether it’s an individual seeking care for themselves, a family member reaching out for a loved one, or a provider coordinating care for a patient, our team is available to take your call 24/7.
After reaching out, the next step is a free and confidential assessment, which allows our clinical team to understand each person’s situation and recommend the most appropriate level of care. Insurance and benefits are also verified and covered at this stage to ensure that patients and families are well informed about financial obligations and everything treatment will entail.
Once care is started, our clinical team will continue to update treatment plans as each individual’s progress. Discharge and next steps are also top of mind, and clinician recommendations are always communicated to all relevant parties as progress continues.

After two decades of service in the Covina community, Aurora Charter Oak has become more than a hospital. Rather, we are an active partner in the local effort to improve mental health and support recovery.
Through community partnerships and strong linkages to community resources, we help connect our patients with the broader network of support around them, including organizations such as Social Model Recovery Systems and the River Community in Covina. These relationships extend our reach beyond our campus, ensuring people have somewhere to turn at every stage of their journey.
We also strive to make care accessible to as many people as possible. Our care team helps patients understand their options, including co-occurring disorder treatment and MAT, and navigate the financial side of treatment. We accept private health insurance and Medicaid, and we offer cash or self-payment options for those who need them, with additional support available through certain federal or government funding programs.
By staying engaged with our community and removing barriers to care, we help ensure that quality behavioral health treatment is within reach for those who need it most.
