Target Population

We primarily serve persons with an emerging or established psychiatric condition, and persons with complex neurological or comorbid medical conditions posing substantial obstacles to quality living in their day to day lives.  Our clients with a primary psychiatric condition have an Axis I psychotic or mood disorder, and/or an Axis II personality disorder, and/or a dual diagnosis of mental illness and substance disorder. We are psychiatric rehabilitation practitioners, a rehabilitation counseling process that teaches adaptive behavioral skills to integrate and manage disabilities that interfere with functional recovery.  It is a recovery-based model (Anthony et al./ Boston University for Psychiatric Rehabilitation) and a process requiring emotional engagement, cognitive skill building, and baseline emotional staminas to tolerate and process the stressors of change. A Global Assessment Functioning (GAF) Score of 50 or above is optimally required to ensure outcomes for the client. Typical consumers referred to our services experience moderate to severe disability in performing in primary capacities of daily living (treatment compliance, activites of daily living (ADLs), success integration to work or school or home life) secondary to psychiatric symptoms.

Our Referral Base

Family members of present or past clients and individual treatment providers, are the most frequent referrers to our services.  As a specialty care management practice, we also receive many referrals from specialty hospital and residential treatment programs from around the US.  Our services usually commnece a) during a client's step down from partial hospitalization or residential treatment or rehabilitation (following an acute event -- relapse or initial event)  or  b) persons utilizing outpatient treatment but unable to rebuild role functioning, achieve a daily quality of life, or unable to live productively without constructive non-family support.
