Intensive Psychiatric Rehabilitation

Intensive Psychiatric Rehabilitation aims to assist individuals with mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorders in setting and achieving personal goals in their living, learning, working, and social environments. Services are provided on an intensive, time-limited basis through group work and individual meetings.

There are five phases:
 
1.) Readiness Assessment: gauging a person's need/desire to set a goal for change and evaluating person's willingness to give up old ways of doing things & to take a leadership role in one's recovery journey

2.) Readiness Development: increasing self-understanding, learning recovery principles and community-based opportunities, and experiencing accomplishments
 
3.) Goal Choosing: identifying the dream job, home, or place to go to school and gathering information about identified goal options

4.) Goal Achievement: identifying critical skills and needed supported to successfully achieve the chosen goal

5.) Goal Keeping: evaluating and supporting the person in his/her chosen goal
