The Adult Day Treatment program is a short term intensive outpatient group therapy program.
The program consists of two levels of care, Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient. The mission of Adult Day is to improve the mental health of people who are suffering from a severe worsening of mental health symptoms.
The goals of treatment include
- Help people avoid developing symptoms which are so severe that an inpatient or residential level of care becomes necessary.
- Help people who are transitioning from an inpatient or residential intensity of care back to community living.
- Help people to move back in the direction of how they were doing prior to the most recent worsening of their symptoms.
