Adult Outpatient Services
These and other programs are available to patients depending on their individual needs and problems. When you first come to the center, your counselor will discuss with you how we can work with you to improve your situation. If there are other resources or providers that might better meet your needs, we will help you make contact with them.
Our
PROGRAMS
MODIFIED DIALECTICAL BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (DBT)
is an evidenced based therapy designed to help people suffering from mood disorders as well as those who need to change patterns of behavior that are not helpful, such as self-harm or suicidal ideation. Patients in this program learn how to identify their emotional triggers and develop skills to utilize in coping and decreasing their harmful behaviors.
CRISIS PROGRAM
The Mobile Call Center provide after-hour emergency contact twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, and will respond to calls immediately. The contact number is toll-free 1-833-364-2274.
FIRST EPISODE PSYCHOSIS
This program helps those who are experiencing psychotic symptoms for the first time. People with early psychotic disorders may not understand what is happening to them and can find the unfamiliar symptoms confusing and distressful. The early treatment provided by this evidenced based program can help improve the long-term outcomes for these individuals.
CARE COORDINATION
provides multiple community referrals and support for eligible patients who may be in need of medical, dental, housing, social, educational, and other community needs. A care coordinator can complete a comprehensive needs assessment and then work cooperatively with the client to provide a link to these resources. The care coordinator will monitor and provide follow up to help with the resolution of the needs.

SERVICES
ASSESSMENT
At the beginning of your treatment and at intervals throughout your course of treatment, you and your clinician will discuss your reasons for seeking assistance and the changes you would like to see in your life. The assessment will cover many areas of your life and background so that the clinician can assess which services will best meet your needs. Your clinician will work cooperatively with you to develop your treatment plan and to choose the array of services that will be best suited to you.
INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, AND GROUP THERAPY
Counseling is provided by clinicians and can take place individually, with your family, or in a group setting, depending on your preferences and needs. Once you meet individually with your clinician to establish your needs and goals for treatment, counseling will be focused on helping you address these needs and meet your goals. Depending on your individual goals, you may be asked to participate in a group with others who are coping with similar issues. Some groups are designed to target a specific problem, such as coping with depression. Other groups may focus more generally on issues, including improving social skills or helping you deal with emotions, such as anger or loneliness.
PSYCHIATRIC/ MEDICAL SERVICES
Medical Services can be provided by Physicians, Physician’s Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, and/or Nurses. The doctor will review your health history and presenting needs and will talk with you to assess the nature and severity of your issue and to consider whether medication is indicated. If you are placed on medication, you will see the nurse or other medical staff periodically to monitor your response to the medication and to provide continued assessment and make any adjustments to the medication if needed. We have the capability if needed, via tele-psychiatry, to have a psychiatrist deliver a live evaluation from a remote location.
CRISIS INTERVENTION
PDMHC has trained staff available 24 hours a day to assist with anyone who is experiencing a psychiatric crisis. This service may take place either face-to-face or over the phone with the intentions of helping to stabilize the situation, reduce your immediate personal distress, and to reduce the chance of future crises. You would be linked to other resources if they are needed to stabilize the situation.
PSYCHOSOCIAL REHABILITATION
Patients who need continued support to live in the community can receive services that are designed to learn and improve the skills needed to promote independence and increase self-esteem. Education about mental illness for the client is an important component of this service.
