Continuing Day Treatment

Utilizing a professional team of social workers, substance abuse counselors and psychiatric caseworkers led by a staff psychiatrist, an intensive program of supportive therapies and social/psychological education is provided full and half days, Monday through Friday.

Three clinical tracks of treatment are offered - Trauma Survivors, Dual Recovery (co-occurring problems with substance abuse and mental illness), as well as a Wellness Track. Treatment is planned and provided according to the unique needs of each individual.

Continuing Day Treatment (CDT) offers the opportunity for individuals in need of intensive psychotherapy to work through their problems in a supportive, therapeutic environment. Many people progress to living enriched and productive lives requiring minimal psychiatric support. CDT also provides ongoing support and structure for persons whose psychiatric conditions are of a more chronic nature.

Patients are assessed to evaluate medication needs to ensure optimal use of advances in medical care. Coordination of transportation from community providers is available. Nutritious daily meals are served at no cost.
