| Program Model: |
- Community based continuum of treatment. As clients make progress, they take on greater levels of independence and the intensity of services is reduced.
- Comprehensive treatment. We offer a balance of therapeutic/psychiatric intervention, vocational development, substance abuse treatment and skills training in the context of a supportive community
- High level of structure. Initially, a client's day is structured with a variety of therapeutic groups and activities. Later, days include internships, classes and/or competitive work placements in the community in addition to treatment components.
- Multi-disciplinary treatment team. A case manager, psychotherapist, support worker, vocational coordinator and psychiatrist each meet with program participants to work on specific treatment goals. Substance abuse treatment is included for individuals with co-occurring disorders.
