SCHOOL DAY TREATMENT INTENSIVE

Our 5-day-a-week, full-day Day Treatment Intensive Program provides individual, group and family therapy, a structured milieu program, and collateral services. Rehabilitative services provided within this program include (but are not limited to) therapeutic recreation, goal-specific therapy groups, process-oriented groups, transitional groups, life skills, stress management, and anger management training. Qualified mental health staff also provides assessment, evaluation, and plan development services as part of this package of services.

Charis’ Day Treatment Intensive Program is integrated with Charis’ nonpublic school program and runs from 8:30 am - 2:45 pm. Our integrated approach in providing this package of intensive services provides youth placed at Charis the opportunity to benefit from a structured milieu treatment program focused on ameliorating the symptoms of their identified mental health diagnosis. Mental Health staff offer teens placed in the program the support and intervention required to be successful throughout the school day during the week. Rehabilitation services offer youth the opportunity to improve and integrate new coping skills into their daily living and leisure activities. The goal for the youth is to return to a less restrictive environment.

Charis’ Day Treatment Intensive Program provides at least one licensed (or waived/registered) mental health professional per 8 clients throughout the hours of the program. This mental health clinician meets all Title 9 requirements.

Prior to placement in the Day Treatment Intensive Program, a mental health professional must assess each youth for medical and service necessity. Each youth placed at Charis also undergoes a complete psychiatric evaluation, which identifies his/her specific diagnosis and the need for medication as a component of the treatment intervention.
