Seems to be more of a community-based type of program run by Comprehensive Behavioral Healthcare... residential program is short-term, i.e., 3-6 months...

Just looking to see if anyone has direct experience.

Compcare's programs overall are lacking.  For instance, they have group homes for the mentally ill.  Their "program" is to pick the residents up each morning, drive them to an urban area noted for its high homeless population, but also where the Compcare office is, and dump these residents on the street for the day.  Many people think these poor folks ARE homeless, and they get harassed by the police, residents, etc.   A formerly homeless severely mentally ill woman walked right back into the streets and out of her group  home thanks to this "program."   I have no faith that any of Compcare's programs are of any quality.
