Program Description

The CTC is a voluntary behavioral health program intended to assist adults in our community with mental health issues, substance use disorders, and/or issues with basic life needs such as housing instability. The CTC offers 24/7 stabilization for at risk individuals and creates a safe and therapeutic space for them to engage in support services so they can effectively transition to outpatient care and prevent inpatient hospitalizations. Individuals admitted to the CTC can stay for a maximum of 14 days and return as needed. The CTC is dedicated to providing a trauma informed program focused on the first stage of trauma recovery (safety and stability) by utilizing a therapeutic community model, an evidence-based model that focuses on empowerment, and increasing an individual's agency and community engagement for overall improvement in health and quality of life.
