The inpatient program is designed for clients with severe symptoms who may be at risk of relapse, hurting themselves, or hurting someone else. During this program, clients reside at the secure facility for the duration of their stay so medical staff can ensure their safety and provide assistance as needed. The inpatient program is rooted in therapy, which includes individual, group, and family therapy, as well as education, case management, and peer support services.
The outpatient program is a lower level of care best for those who have completed a higher level of care (such as the inpatient program) or who have mild symptoms. It uses the same programs and treatments as the inpatient program but allows clients to live at home and visit the facility on a fixed schedule to receive treatment rather than life on site.
