Mission Statement:
The Adult Day Treatment Program (ADTP)
is an intensive, outpatient, group therapy program. The mission of the ADTP is
to improve the mental health of people-in-recovery who are suffering from a
recent, severe worsening of mental health or co-occurring
mental health and addiction symptoms. The goals of treatment are:
(1) to help people to avoid developing symptoms which are so severe that an
inpatient or residential intensity of treatment becomes necessary, (2) to help
people who have just been discharged from an inpatient or residential intensity
of treatment to become more stable and transition back to the community, and/or
(3) to help people to move back in the direction of how they were doing prior to
the most recent worsening of their life situation.Treatment Philosophy:
The ADTP delivers integrated, eclectic therapy in a
group therapy format to people-in-recovery. The aim is to tailor each person’s
treatment plan to his or her individual needs as much as possible. Among the
therapeutic approaches utilized by the treatment staff are the following:
cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy skills training,
motivational enhancement, modeling, behavioral rehearsal, psychodynamic therapy,
family systems therapy, relapse prevention, interpersonal therapy, vocational
counseling, and leisure skills counseling.
Components of the program:

psychiatric medication
- Group therapy
- Brief, individual case management/therapy
meetings, as needed
- Family/couples therapy, as needed
