Weekly Psychiatry Appointments as needed for medication optimization
We offer multiple levels of highly-individualized care that will meet the needs of a wide range of adults dealing with mental illness.
Whether recently diagnosed, leaving the hospital, or just needing a little extra support to be successful in the world, we have a program that may fit your needs, bridging the gap between the custodial care of an institution and the demands of independent living.
Our programs range from 30 days to an open-ended time frame.
TRANSITIONAL PROGRAM
3 – 9 MONTHS
Averte’s transitional program is targeted to be between 3 – 9 months long with a transition to our Independent Living Program or a return to an independent lifestyle near family.
COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM
9 – 18 MONTHS
Averte’s Comprehensive Program provides an opportunity for individuals needing a longer window of services to receive quality treatment at a slower pace. The Comprehensive Program is anticipated to be between 9 – 18 months that will be evaluated quarterly.
EXTENDED PROGRAM
OPEN-ENDED
Averte’s Extended Program is designed to meet the needs of an individual with open-ended care. This program has no maximum stay to allow the individual to remain in the program as long as he/she requires. Although this program continues to offer therapy, the focus is on physical wellness and quality of life. All activities will continue to be encouraged and potential movement within the program explored.
INDEPENDENT LIVING PROGRAM
OPEN-ENDED
Averte’s Independent Living Program provides a bridge for those transitioning out of residential care and into the greater community. While receiving specialized support for their next steps to independence, participants in this program are still considered members of Averte’s residential community; they can visit our houses for meals, support services, activities, groups, socialization while retaining their same clinical team.
Direct admits are accepted in the ILP if all parties agree it is a safe option.
RESPITE / STEP-DOWN
PROGRAM
45 – 90 DAYS
Averte’s Respite / Step-down Programs are designed to meet the needs of an individual requiring a short reprieve from their current situation or a step-down from an intensive inpatient setting. The respite program has a minimum of 30 days with a maximum of 90 days and is less clinically intensive. Respite stays may be extended into our Transitional Program if appropriate. Averte’s step down program has a minimum of 60 days and may also be extended into our Transitional Program if appropriate.
