Treatment modes adhere to standards that have been designed using Evidence Based Practices. These practices were developed over several years through research and pilot projects. They are the most up to date methods in providing individual treatment, focusing on learning the skills to manage one’s disability and pursuing personal goals.
The core concepts of Illness Management and Recovery and Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment are provided by twice weekly group sessions with individual sessions as needed. Family Education, another Evidence Based Practice, is available at an individual’s request. In this process, family members can participate in the treatment and education their relative receives through one to one sessions facilitated by a Mental Health Practitioner. To encourage this, staffing patterns are coordinated to make participation available 7 days per week, around a family member’s schedule.
Additional groups enhancing the concepts of Evidence Based Practices and skill building include: daily structure, support resources, socialization, recreation, leisure time activities and independent living skills training. Each individual will also work with their Mental Health Practitioner to begin planning discharge week one to learn of post-discharge housing options.
