Program Description
We aspire to be a touchstone in the lives of individuals experiencing mental health symptoms – a point of reference orienting residents toward recovery, psychiatric rehabilitation, and well-being. We work with the whole person, integrating evidence-based practices, individual treatment and additional resources to support a healthy mind, body and spirit. Our program provides a safe and supportive environment where residents have the opportunity to regain mental health and stability and overcome obstacles such as substance abuse.
What We Offer
At Touchstone Residential Treatment, we provide intensive, short-term residential treatment for adults usually coming to the program following hospitalization or instead of hospitalization.
We serve up to 14 persons at a time in a supportive, comfortable, and structured therapeutic environment. Typically, the length of treatment is about 90 days. We provide supportive services 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Residents participate in group and individual counseling, and practice living independently. In this friendly environment, they help each other by sharing their problems and living cooperatively. We also encourage use of supportive services in the community and complimentary health practices such as acupuncture.
We support achievement of each person’s goals, including:
- Working with the individual to develop an individualized treatment plan
- Helping each person to build skills in illness and symptom management
- Assisting the resident with medications and health care services
- Educating each individual about health and wellness, and offering acupuncture twice weekly
- Helping the person to develop meaningful social relationships and participate in activities
- Teaching the resident skills such as housekeeping, money management, and meal preparation
- Providing the resident with an integrated approach to co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse
- Offering the individual the opportunity to participate in a weekly community meeting
- Offering education and support to consumers’ families and friends, with the individual’s permission
- Finding and arranging for the resident’s post-treatment housing
