Outpatient Services

"Discharge planning and aftercare are crucial steps toward recovery"

After discharge, patients may choose to take advantage of a wide variety of follow-up and aftercare services offered by the hospitals. Intensive Outpatient Services are provided by a multi-disciplinary team that individualizes assessments and treatments. Patients can be treated in this program while still under the care of their private physician.

Signs and symptoms that an evaluation is needed include:

• Memory Loss
• Altered Thoughts
• Paranoia
• Social Isolation
• Poor Impulse Control
• Disorientation
• Combative Behavior
• Suicidal Thoughts
• Inability to Concentrate
• Compulsive Gambiling
• Depression, Hopelessness, Pessimism
• Restlessness and/or Hyperactivity

The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) helps prevent decompensation and the need for rehospitalization. The program is designed for those who require an intensive, structured, daily therapeutic environment, but do not require 24-hour care. PHP is not only a cost effective alternative to inpatient treatment, but also helps patients transition from inpatient to outpatient care.

Individual treatment is designed to provide the opportunity to gain insight, increased expression, problem solving and improved coping skills.
