Interestingly enough, I explored the fill-side of this problem; I designed a PTSD treatment facility for veterans and their care partners as my thesis project.
First, as a suggestion, you may find it helpful to really focus in on a specific condition and its impact on a specific group of people. If you don’t do this your topic will likely be too broad.
Secondly, I didn’t find an example of such a facility when I researched my project. My topic consultant, who is very knowledgeable about PTSD, also didn't know of such a facility. In hindsight, I probably would have looked at drug rehab centers and the like. In my additional consideration of my project I’ve been researching monasteries, etc., because they create the type of environment that I wish to achieve.
I exhaustively researched PTSD, its treatment, and its ramifications on the family. I limited my group to veterans and their care partners (who likely would have secondary traumatization), so I researched specific issues that were applicable to that situation and in what ways treatment might be hindered. I used this information to develop the program.
Can you provide more information about what you have in mind, as far as context?

VA hospitals? Like Naval Hospital in Bethesda MD? Also keep in mind that a lot of these facilities try to incorporate onsite housing for families to help their vets (see Fisher House Foundation).

I found Pamphlet Architecture 23 - Move: Sites of Trauma to be helpful.
