Care offered

From the program's public listing:

  • Residential: live at the program and take part in treatment every day.Ask how long a stay usually runs, what a day looks like, what someone may bring and when family can visit. Ask what happens if a resident needs medical care, and what the program sets up before anyone leaves.
  • Day treatment (PHP): treatment for much of the day, most days of the week, going home at night. PHP stands for partial hospitalization program.Ask how many hours a day and how many days a week it runs, whether transport or meals are included, how many weeks people usually stay, and what someone is expected to do in the evenings.
  • Intensive outpatient (IOP): several hours of treatment a day, a few days a week, while living at home.Ask whether there are evening or early groups, how many weeks it usually runs, whether a person can keep working or going to school while they attend, and what happens if they miss a session.
  • Outpatient: regular visits, such as counseling, therapy or medication appointments.Ask how soon a first appointment can happen, how often visits come after that, whether the same clinician is kept each time, and whether they will see someone who is still drinking or using while they get started.
  • Licensed Primary Mental Health Care

Onsite vs. coordinated services: Public records do not always separate care delivered onsite at this address from services coordinated through an affiliated campus or outside prescriber.
