Residential Treatment Program
Specialized programming is provided for young adults (18 – 39); older adults (40 – 55) and seniors (55+).
Weekend activity includes working on personal hygiene, relationships and socialization. In addition, residents have the opportunity to partake in recreational activities. Evening and weekend activities can include “movie-night”, ice cream night, Barnes and Nobel, trips to local fairs, trips to the parks and a day at the lake. Outings also include trips to museums and restaurants (Friday Fun Day).
The socialization program has been structured to provide residents relaxation time allowing them to interact with friends in a social environment. The clinical program has been developed to be flexible allowing the program to be adaptable to the individual (i.e., the program adapts to the individual with the clinical TEAM, along with the client, adjusting the program to meet individuals need). Although the Residential Treatment program is primarily structured around group therapies, individual therapy (CBT, DBT, etc.) is provided on an individual basis at the main campus. As clients stabilize, they transition to Independent Living homes where the structure becomes less intense. Within this setting, goals such as employment opportunities, education advancement and/or volunteer work begin to take place.
This program allows families and clinicians, as well as staff, to understand when their loved-one is moving into the next level of the cognition. Our “health and wellness” style of recovery is based on assessments over the last five years that indicate our clients require an appropriate amount of clinical therapies, as well as adjunct therapies and socialization.
Part of our recover process is to provide fresh and healthy meals (fresh vegetables and fresh meats and fish when available – all cooked and prepared with little to no sugars) along with an active exercise program.
