Program Continuum

Acute Inpatient - For adults who need an intensive therapeutic structure providing medical and psychiatric treatment. This includes but is not limited to: active suicidal thoughts/plans, psychosis, major depression, detoxification, violence/acting out, delusional thoughts, etc.

Partial Hospitalization - For adults who require stabilization without the need for inpatient hospitalization. This program provides traditional models of inpatient care during the day with the patient returning home in the evening. There are two tracks - one for the chemically dependent patient and one for the patient with the need for psychiatric treatment. If a patient needs a place to stay while attending the program there are campus apartments. (Transportation to and from treatment and AA/NA groups is provided for the patients who stay at the apartments.)

Intensive Outpatient Program - IOP - This is group therapy for patients who abuse or are dependent on alcohol or drugs or patients who have psychiatric issues or patients who have both substance abuse issues and psychiatric issues, but does not require intensive psychiatric or medical management. These groups are held 5:30PM-8:30PM on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights for approximately five weeks. There are two tracks - one for patients with psychiatric issues and one for patients with substance abuse/dependence issues. Two nights of the program involve only the patient going to group therapy and one night involves the patient and his or her family or significant other (if available) going to group therapy. Here the patient is assigned a licensed or license eligible therapist. This therapist works with them to establish an individualized plan of treatment and identifies problems, sets goals, and recognizes individual assets and liabilities in developing steps to meet their goals.

Individual/Family Counseling - Should an adult need individual or family counseling appropriate referrals will be made to qualified professionals.
