Case Management

Following the ACT model, we have case management teams that provide services to all of the clients assigned to the team. Each client has multiple case managers working with them on a weekly rotation.

Our clients benefit by having multiple direct care staff providing input and strategies to best assist them reach their goals. Our clients have continuity of care when a case manager may be absent due to illness or vacation, as well as moving to a different position and no longer providing case management services. Each team has a Team Leader who coordinates the recovery and treatment plan of each client with the case managers and coordinates with the other community providers the client is utilizing for services.

Psychiatrist

We have agreements with psychiatrists to see clients who are receiving services from True MHS. We do not provide psychiatric services directly through True MHS. Our agreements with psychiatrists enable us to schedule an initial appointment within a few days of intake to our case management services, rather than clients waiting several months for an initial appointment.

This is extremely beneficial for our new clients who begin our services following an inpatient hospital admission. The client can be seen within 7 days after their discharge date for their follow-up psychiatric appointment. Then the client will be scheduled with the psychiatrist for monthly follow-up appointments. If a client has an outpatient psychiatrist that they have a relationship with and want to continue their services, we are still able to provide case management services and the client does not need to change doctors.

To help our clients achieve success, our case managers:

  • Coordinate the transition from the hospital after discharge to the client’s home
  • Teach coping strategies for experienced symptoms
  • Teach awareness of triggers for experienced symptoms
  • Teach coping strategies to address triggers
  • Educate about the benefits of taking medications
  • Assist and educate clients to complete doctor appointments
  • Assist and educate clients to fill prescriptions at pharmacies
  • Substance abuse education and assistance with rehabilitation
  • Teach interpersonal and social skills
  • Help secure safe housing
  • Teach budgeting and money management skills
  • Educate about community resources and how to access them
  • Assist clients access resources for employment
  • Assist clients access resources for education
  • And teach our clients anything else they need for their recovery and success

In addition to case managers meeting directly with clients in the community, we provide 24-hour crisis support to assist our clients after business hours.

Men

The E-motion intensive outpatient program (IOP) group therapy process for men provides a unique opportunity for men to explore their mental health and addiction issues in an engaging, nontraditional setting. The physical activities allow them to confront their emotions in an active way that promotes self-exploration, learning new skills and techniques, and building meaningful connections with other men. 

In addition, the experiential nature of the group therapy process allows for a measure of trust and understanding to be built between participants as they work through their emotional issues together. This, in combination with the technology of our wellness lab, allows men a unique and effective process to learn self-regulation and improve their overall life experiences.

Women

Our intensive outpatient experience for women offers an experiential group therapy process specifically tailored to meet the needs of women. Our holistic approach provides a safe and supportive environment where members can share their experiences, learn positive coping strategies, and find understanding in the words of other women on similar journeys to self-discovery and healing.

Teens

The E-motion intensive outpatient therapy process for teens is designed to capitalize on the incredible plasticity of the adolescent brain. Our protocols that ignite and support neuroplasticity are especially effective with this population.

 

Teenagers in our group process learn to identify their individual needs and recognize their potential. Through this program, teens learn to understand themselves better, build effective communication skills, and develop positive coping strategies. The therapy process includes individualized assessments and regularly scheduled group sessions that provide a safe space for teens to share their experiences and receive support from peers and therapists.

 

We designed the therapeutic techniques used in the group sessions to help teens explore, identify, and manage their thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment. During the program, teens also learn how to recognize triggers that may lead to negative behavior, build self-esteem, develop healthier relationships with family members and peers, and make positive choices for their future.

 

The program is tailored to the needs of each teen and provides an opportunity for them to become more confident, empowered, and successful in life. At the end of the program, teens will better understand themselves and their capabilities as they move forward with their lives.

Monday: Closed Tuesday: 6:00 PM–9:00 PM, 9:00 AM–12:00 PM Wednesday: Closed Thursday: 6:00 PM–9:00 PM, 9:00 AM–12:00 PM Friday: Closed Saturday: 6:00 PM–9:00 PM, 9:00 AM–12:00 PM Sunday: Closed

We are open to many paths to recovery.

An addiction is a chronic disorder in which an individual is blinded by a substance, or engages in an activity, that gives them an immense amount of pleasure but has become detrimental to their everyday life. Compulsive behaviors and addictions can temporarily provide confidence, control, validation or other emotions lacking in one’s life, but the behavior may not stop until the root of the problem is addressed.

Addiction changes the brain through the limbic system, also known as the “brain reward system.” This part of the brain is responsible for producing feelings of pleasure and will manifest thoughts such as, “I deserve this,” or “Let’s do that again.” The abuse of addictive substances and behaviors triggers this system which can prolong a continuous cycle of destructive behavior.

Common addictions include but are not limited to:

  • Drug or alcohol abuse
  • Gambling
  • Internet
  • Shopping
  • Food
