SUMMARY OF SERVICES
Based on the fact that each person admitted to the program has different
needs, the Transitions partial hospitalization program strives to restore
and promote maximum functioning capabilities and optimal health within
each patient's intellectual and cultural framework. Particular emphasis
is placed on dignity, respect and confidentiality. The program is designed
to foster independence and to improve relations with family, peers and
the community. It allows for more flexible and less restrictive treatment
by increasing levels of functioning and supporting access to progressively
lower levels of care.
Transitions is based on a 10-week group psychotherapy model. Group size
is limited up to ten (10) patients per group, and groups may be split
to increase the quality of care and the participation of each patient
in their treatment.

Each patient retains his/her individual psychotherapist when entering the program. Patients in the program are followed by an attending psychiatrist who oversees his/her treatment. The attending psychiatrist is responsible for the primary individual psychotherapy, with the staff case coordinators acting in a supportive, goal-directed capacity in accordance with the individual plan.
