About the Program
Most people are referred to our day hospital after they have stabilized or completed an inpatient treatment program, or through a treating clinician who feels they need more treatment
Patients are generally referred to the location that is closest to their home. Both locations offer two all-encompassing treatment tracks:
-
Our general track is appropriate for adults with mood, anxiety, and personality disorders; obsessive-compulsive disorders; and/or
autism spectrum disorder -
Our co-occurring disorders track provides specialized treatment for adults experiencing substance use issues in addition to a psychiatric diagnosis. This track includes
introduction to the 12-step and cognitive behavioral therapy models, random drug testing, and an emphasis on smoking cessation
Our Staff & Types of Treatment

Continuing Care
We ensure that care does not stop when an individual is ready to leave the day hospital. While a patient is enrolled at the Adult Day Hospital, our multidisciplinary team will create a comprehensive discharge plan to ensure that the appropriate community-based appointments have been arranged.
