Windhorse Integrative Mental Health — San Luis Obispo

Care at Windhorse Integrative Mental Health — San Luis Obispo

Windhorse Integrative Mental Health operates a long-term, community-integrated program in San Luis Obispo for adults experiencing severe or life-disrupting mental-health conditions. It is best understood as semi-residential care: clients live in Windhorse-leased housing, usually with a therapeutic housemate, while a multidisciplinary team provides intensive individual support.

Level of care

The provider explicitly states that Windhorse is not a 24/7 inpatient or residential facility. Clients need to be able to spend some time alone. At the fullest level of support, a team can include psychiatry, psychotherapy, nursing, team leadership, counselors and a therapeutic housemate, with more than 40 hours of one-to-one clinical or relational support each week. New clients may begin with a four- to eight-week Still Point phase before moving into a two-bedroom apartment or home in the community.

Who the program serves

Windhorse works with adults facing conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, schizophrenia-spectrum conditions, trauma and other complex mood or thought disturbances. Care is voluntary, individualized and designed to reduce gradually as the person builds stability, connection and independence. The provider requests a minimum six-month commitment and describes a typical total stay of six months to two years.

Accommodation and location

The San Luis Obispo program uses dispersed community homes rather than a single treatment campus. The regional office is listed at 1411 Marsh Street, Suite 103, but that is not presented as the residence. Housing addresses are not publicly identified. The images are current provider-published photographs identified with the San Luis Obispo program, including a residence common room and community activity; Windhorse does not publish the home addresses.

Cost

Recovery.com lists an estimated program cost of $32,000–$38,000 per month for the San Luis Obispo location, with a reported program length of six to eighteen months. This is third-party pricing evidence, not a provider-published tariff. The official admissions page says fees are private pay and asks prospective families to contact Windhorse for current details.
