Intensive Outpatient Services for Young Adults and Adolescents

When traditional outpatient once a week sessions are not enough, we can offer a more comprehensive approach.  We want people to be able to continue to function in their community and provide them a level of support and structure to facilitate this.  Too often we have seen the pattern of outpatient counseling and  repeated inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations and a worsening course of the illness. We have found that if we can put extra resources and support into place earlier, then we can often avoid this.   

Our standard program includes two individual psychotherapy sessions per week, one to two hours of community based mentoring per week, one psychotherapy group per week, and one parent planning meeting per week.   This basic plan will be structured depending on individual needs.
