Program Length:

For most clients, the length is from 6-12 months but can extent past a year for those with complex trauma or significant mental health- as long as they continue to meet medical necessity. Treatment length is a collaborative effort between the student, their family/guardian(s), day treatment team, school team, and other providers who are involved in the student’s mental health. 

Who Benefits:

Adolescents from 11-18 years old who are still enrolled in school and have mental health symptoms which interfere with school, home, and community functioning.  Those who are transitioning from a higher level of care or those who have found less intensive services unsuccessful, would benefit from learning intensive coping and social skill training.  Regular attendance and active participation are key to successful completion of the program.  

What happens in treatment?

All programming begins with a screening process to determine eligibility.  When an opening occurs, the family/guardian(s) will be contacted to complete the intake paperwork and schedule a diagnostic assessment.  Once the diagnostic assessment has been completed, admission typically occurs one week later. After admission, students and their families receive the full benefit of all services provided through day treatment which includes individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy, and group skills training.
