ETMC Behavioral Health's Outpatient Day Treatment offers help for adults experiencing significant difficulties with emotional, family, work and/or behavioral functioning. The program is also designed to help adults deal with anxiety, stress reduction, other mental health issues, family issues and the later stages of life.
Participants are welcomed into an atmosphere that allows them to meet others with similar needs and create bonds that will improve their outlook and mental health.
Group work focuses on:
coping with the diagnosis which prompted admission.
building self-esteem, self-reliance and independence within each person
Staying close to home
Participants work through the treatment process while staying close to home and avoiding the intensity of an inpatient setting.
Licensed mental health professionals and medical personnel staff the programs to ensure that all goals are met and that each participant has a positive experience in a comfortable setting.
Program focus
The focus of the adult program is simply to offer an outpatient program that allows the participants to return to their lives happier and better able to handle day-to-day stresses.
All programs are medically supervised and progress at a pace comfortable for each person. Participants leave the program better prepared to handle the depression or stress that has caused their problems. The older adult program is the first step toward regained self-confidence and independence, and it's a step we'll take with you. Family involvement is a key element in the healing process and individual family sessions are available.
Alternative to inpatient treatmentTreatment is a full- or partial-day outpatient program. It provides a long-needed alternative to inpatient treatment while preserving family and professional ties, which can be so difficult to maintain.
It is also a cost-effective program operating in the least restrictive setting. The patient is allowed to remain in the home environment connected to family, friends and community.
