Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program

The Intensive Outpatient Mental Health Treatment Program is designed specifically for adults who are experiencing behavioral and/or emotiional difficulties, but who do not require (or no longer require) the intense level of psychiatric care provided by inpatient or partial hospitalization programs. Our groups meet 3 evenings a week for 12 weeks.  We accept dual-diagnosis clients who have both mental health and substance abuse issues.

We work with clients who have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, major depression and/or anxiety disorder, or are experiencing acute psychiatric symptoms which may include:

• Depressed mood
• Feelings of worthlessness
• Hopelessness
• Feelings of guilt and shame
• Diminished ability to think or concentrate
• Suicidal thoughts
• Racing thoughts
• Distractibility
• Fear of dying
• Feelings of being detached from self
• Panic disorder
• Excessive worry
• Social phobia
• Perfectionism
• Past trauma
• Obsessive-compulsive thoughts and behaviors
• Self-destructive, risk taking behaviors or mood swings
• Drug and/or alcohol abuse

Our small groups are based on a Cogntive behavior therapy and Dialectical Behavior therapy model which focuses on identifying symptoms of anxiety, depression, and /or bipolar disorder, coping with negative and painful emotions, learning mindfulness techniques, regulating dramatic mood shifts, learning how to cope with the stress of daily living, and building self-awareness and self-esteem.

The program is based on the following concepts:

Mindfulness—learning the capacity to pay attention to the present moment
Interpersonal effectiveness—learning assertiveness skills, identifying your needs, asking for what you need in a healthy way.
