Spruce Mountain Inn has provided young adults with specialized treatment that balances therapeutic intervention, vocational and educational development and life skills training since 1983.

Because each client's needs are unique, Spruce Mountain Inn has developed a program that is comprehensive and flexible. Our "continuum of care" approach makes it possible for our clients to receive the kind of services they require in the most appropriate and least costly setting possible. Among our treatment options are sub-acute care, residential treatment, monitored apartment living, and intensive outpatient/day treatment services.

Our open ended treatment program provides a range of "step down" living options, from an on-site apartment to a monitored apartment in the community.

As personal goals are met, clients may elect to leave the area or may continue to receive reduced services to help them maintain the progress they have achieved.

Throughout the course of treatment, our clients receive an integrated program of individual and group treatment from a staff of committed and caring professionals whose members hold degrees in Social Work, Counseling, Psychology and Education.

When a client is in crisis, increased supervision and support as well as intensive psychiatric involvement, structure and containment are required. Our Sub-Acute Care Program offers these services in situations where the more intensive and expensive medical services of a hospital are deemed unnecessary. Spruce Mountain Inn offers an excellent community based alternative for short term stabilization of acute psychiatric symptoms. An admission to the Inn on a "sub-acute status" can replace a hospital stay. It can also help to shorten an inpatient stay by offering a post-hospital "step down" to assist a patient's transition to the community and outpatient services.
