About
St. Louis, Missouri Behavioral Health Treatment Center
Mission Statement
ArchVista provides compassionate, evidence-based behavioral health and addiction treatment to St. Louis, Missouri and neighboring communities, offering 24/7 assessments and comprehensive care for individuals with mental health and substance use needs. We are committed to transparency, clinical excellence, and supporting our patients’ recovery in a modern, welcoming environment.
Our evidence-based treatment philosophy
Non-restraint trauma-informed care
ArchVista uses zero mechanical restraints. Staff employ sensory carts (stress balls, aromatherapy), therapeutic atriums, and compassionate communication for crisis de-escalation. This approach eliminates re-traumatization from forced interventions.
Evidence-based therapy integration
Clients receive CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed approaches. Minimum four daily groups plus weekly individual counseling ensure therapeutic intensity matches clinical needs across all program levels.
Complete continuum under one roof
The 92-bed facility houses detox, acute psychiatric, residential, PHP, and IOP. Clients progress through levels without facility transfers. Clinical teams maintain continuity throughout treatment.
Individualized treatment planning
Licensed therapists conduct comprehensive assessments to determine program level. Treatment teams (psychiatrists, medical providers, therapists, nurses, case managers) meet weekly to adjust interventions. Clients develop Individualized Wellness Recovery Plans to maintain post-discharge healing.
Family partnership
Staff contact families within 24 hours (with consent). Weekly family programming provides mental illness education, communication skills, and stress management. Families participate in counseling and discharge planning.
Dual diagnosis expertise
ArchVista treats co-occurring mental health and substance use simultaneously. Psychiatrists distinguish psychiatric symptoms from substance effects within 24 hours. Medications target both conditions. Therapy teaches skills for mental health and addiction recovery.
Our clinical approach
Cognitive and behavioral therapies
CBT helps clients identify thought patterns that maintain depression, anxiety, and addiction. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness—essential for clients with intense emotions or self-harm histories.
Motivational and solution-focused work
Motivational Interviewing resolves change ambivalence through non-judgmental exploration. Solution-focused therapy identifies client strengths, past successes, and concrete goals, building confidence.
Medical and psychiatric integration
Our medical director specializes in dual diagnosis. Psychiatric evaluations occur within 24 hours. Weekly psychiatrist rounds monitor medications. Medical providers conduct physical examinations and manage conditions impacting mental health or substance use.
Group therapy and peer support
Minimum four daily groups cover trigger identification, relapse prevention, coping skills, anger management, communication, stress management, and self-esteem. 12-Step AA programming integrates into schedules.
Holistic wellness practices
On-site gym facilities support fitness activities. Wellness programming emphasizes nutrition’s mental health role. These approaches address trauma’s physical manifestations.
