REACH (Intensive Psychiatric Rehabilitation) is a program that assists adults living with mental illness and co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders in setting and achieving personal goals. Services are intensive and time-limited (up to two years), combining structured class time with individual appointments taking place within the community.
Throughout the two-year period, participants work through five different phases:
- Readiness Assessment: Assessing your strengths and growth areas so that we can draw on your strengths and build the skills and supports needed to have a satisfying life.
- Readiness Development: Determining what support or skills you need to make the changes you want to make. We deal with fear of failure, fear of change, overcoming barriers, and staying motivated.
- Goal Choosing: Defining goal specifics (the people, places, and things that make up your dream) and identifying potential options. This phase ends with the development of a SMART goal.
- Goal Achievement: Building the skills you need to achieve your goal (budgeting skills, life skills [cleaning, cooking, laundry], daily living skills [waking up on time, transportation to work/school], etc.).
- Goal Keeping: Continued support after your goal is attained to “fine tune” the skills you have learned and provide support if you are struggling to keep your goal.
