Mental health and wellness

Our mental health programs
Transitions Behavioral Health is unique in that it features both outpatient and partial hospitalization programs. This means you can receive intensive care in a structured program during the day without having to stay in the hospital overnight.
Intensive outpatient program (IOP)
In this outpatient program, you are provided a safe, therapeutic environment while working with specially trained staff members who encourage and promote recovery. IOP can help as an initial point of care, a step up from routine outpatient services or a step down from an inpatient stay or residential care.
Our IOP group therapy focuses on coping skills, assertiveness skills, goal setting and co-occurring disorders. In group therapy, you will be seen by a psychiatrist and receive three to four hours of treatment per day for three days a week for the duration of your treatment.
Partial hospitalization program (PHP)
As a PHP group member, you will participate in four to six groups each day with an emphasis on mental health and coping. The groups will help you dive into a variety of subjects designed to aid you in effectively understanding and managing your symptoms. In this program, you will receive ongoing monitoring and treatment from a psychiatrist, registered nurse and licensed therapist.
Lunch, light snacks and coffee are provided during this program.

Patients in all of our programs can benefit from the following care:
- Access to additional medical specialties, as needed, at our full-service hospital

Family involvement and education
We offer education and therapy to help families understand and face mental health issues together. Our educational materials cover things like medications and common behavioral issues.

- Deal with the problems that arise when living with or supporting someone with a mental health condition
- Interact effectively with behavioral health professionals
- Support someone with a mental health condition
- Take care of themselves emotionally, mentally and physically
