While each person who struggles with an acute psychiatric condition will have a unique experience and presentation of symptoms, there are some treatment modalities that have proven successful in managing these concerns. We know that when symptoms are heightened, one of the first and most important steps in healing is stabilization. For this reason, finding an acute residential treatment center is key to sustained recovery from a psychiatric illness.

Dove International Mental Health Center’s residential treatment provides a safe, supportive environment in which to get your symptoms under control so that you can begin setting and meeting your goals for recovery. By engaging with the interventions listed below, you can begin your healing journey at Dove International Mental Health Center.

Individual Therapy Group therapy Family Therapy Experiential therapy Medication management

In one-on-one meetings with a therapist, you’ll process the setbacks and successes of treatment. These confidential meetings are also useful for goal-setting, accountability, and practicing tools for self-regulation and symptom management.

Join your peers for moderated discussions on topics related to your recovery. In this safe setting, you’ll give support and gain feedback from those who are walking a similar path. Often, psychiatric illness can lead to feelings of isolation. Group therapy is an excellent reminder that you are not alone in the healing process.

 Psychiatric illness impacts the family unit. At Dove International Mental Health Center, we encourage loved ones to engage in family therapy to heal strained relationships, learn effective communication, and support their family member in recovery.

At Dove International Mental Health Center, we invite you to experience healing on a deeper level by exploring the mind/body connection via experiential therapy. These activities often include creative or movement-based exercises.

Many patients find that pharmaceutical interventions are a necessary and important part of their recovery experience. These services ensure that you are receiving the ideal type of medication for your concerns, that your dosage is safe and effective, and that you have the opportunity to communicate any concerns about your medication with a trained professional.

When you’re ready to transition out of the residential environment, we offer a thorough discharge planning process to direct you toward the level of care that will best suit your needs. Partial hospitalization programming (PHP) or intensive outpatient programming (IOP) can be an excellent choice as you transition back to your daily life. These programs provide a blend of balanced structure and autonomy, with participants returning to their homes or an alternate residence during evenings and weekends. More traditional community-based outpatient services may also be beneficial as you continue to work toward your goals for recovery.
