One specialty service provided in the Adult Unit is the Day Treatment Program. Day Treatment provides services to residents of the community who are in need of intensive group therapy in a highly structured and supervised setting. Group therapy includes such topics as anxiety, codependency, medication education, family issues, stress management, dual diagnosis, anger issues, discharge planning and adult daily living, among others. The Day Treatment Program runs five days a week for four hours per day with a strong emphasis on group therapy and process. A staff psychiatrist is on site for consultation and medication monitoring.
Transportation is provided from several points in the community as space is available.
Additionally, Mobile Treatment Services provides in-home services to those residents in the community who are either unable or unwilling to access traditional mental health services in the Outpatient Mental Health Clinic. A registered nurse and a mental health professional meets with the participants weekly in their home or other designated location. Services include individual or family therapy, medication monitoring, health assessments, and linkage with other agencies or services in the community. This program is different from home health types of services in that the focus is on mental health issues and, in most cases, participants are able to remain in the program for extended periods of time.
