About

About River Crest Hospital

River Crest Hospital, operating as Shannon River Crest Hospital, is an 80-bed behavioral health hospital in San Angelo, Texas, that has served children, adolescents, and adults in west Texas for more than three decades. The hospital provides a comprehensive range of mental and behavioral health treatment, including inpatient psychiatric care, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programming, detoxification services, and chemical dependency rehabilitation — all under one roof.

Inpatient programming is organized by age. Children ages 5-12 with emotional or behavior problems benefit from group and activity therapies designed to develop a positive self-image and healthy social and communication skills. Behavioral therapy helps these younger patients learn to identify harmful patterns and replace them with healthier modes of interaction; family involvement is encouraged throughout treatment. Adolescent programming for ages 13-17 includes daily education, group, activities, and process therapy, with the goal of helping teens develop a positive self-image, healthy communication, and the tools to maintain a substance-free life — and the program incorporates individual treatment plans that emphasize building strong interpersonal skills.

Adult treatment includes inpatient psychiatric stabilization, partial hospitalization for clients who do not need around-the-clock care, intensive outpatient programming as a step-down option, and detoxification followed by chemical dependency rehabilitation. The Military Program addresses the spectrum of difficulties affecting service members and their families, with specific understanding of the unique stresses associated with military life — a distinctive offering for the San Angelo area, given its proximity to Goodfellow Air Force Base and the broader military community in west Texas.

River Crest Hospital offers no-cost behavioral health screenings 24/7, with walk-ins welcomed. Prospective patients and their families can call (325) 747-4700 to begin the admissions process. Per available records, the hospital accepts Medicaid; additional payer details should be confirmed directly with the admissions team. Pricing transparency information is also publicly available through the hospital’s website.
