Day Treatment Mental Health, An Alternative to Residential Treatment
At Interim, Inc., our team of professionals offers structured, multi-disciplinary therapy services to adults with mental health conditions in a community setting. We are committed to helping our clients achieve mental health stability, improve daily functioning, and develop meaningful activities to assist with living independently or interdependently in the community.
Therapeutic Services
Our program is also referred to as a “partial hospitalization program” (PHP) or Day Treatment.
CHOICES helps those in crisis avoid more restrictive settings by providing:
- Group and individual therapeutic services
- Psychiatric services
- Symptom management
- Medication education
- Medication self-management support
CHOICES offers an alternative to hospitalization; clients who attend CHOICES avoid placement in a more restrictive recovery setting. The program is designed to serve clients transitioning from a residential treatment program or those who need more structure than an outpatient program.
Treatment
The evidence-based practices we use include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Motivational Interviewing
- Seeking Safety
- Trauma-Informed Care
Our goal is to empower clients to achieve a safe, independent, and peaceful lifestyle. These modalities are tailored to the client’s specific mental health or behavioral needs. We provide clients with a full evaluation to ensure the services being offered align with their needs.
