About Aurora Charter Oak Hospital
Aurora Charter Oak Hospital sits on 10 landscaped acres in Covina, California, where it has served the Southern California community for more than two decades. Part of the Aurora Behavioral Health network, the 134-bed psychiatric hospital combines mental health and addiction services in a single campus that includes a gymnasium, pool, and dedicated recovery center.
The hospital offers a full continuum of care anchored by adult and adolescent inpatient services and supported by Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), and standard outpatient services. The adult detoxification and chemical dependency track addresses alcoholism and benzodiazepine dependence, with Medication-Assisted Treatment including Suboxone now available for Opioid Use Disorder. Adolescent outpatient programs for ages 13-17 round out the offering for younger patients.
Clinical work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, applied across conditions including anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, psychological trauma, schizophrenia, suicidal ideation, and self-harm. The hospital is Joint Commission-accredited and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, most commercial plans, and offers financial assistance for qualifying patients.
With leadership under Chief Executive Officer John Meier, Aurora Charter Oak frames its work around the CARES values: Commitment, Accountability, Respect, Empathy, and Service. Multilingual support spans Mandarin, German, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, and Farsi, and the assessment center is staffed 24/7 at 800-654-2673 for both walk-in and provider referrals.
