Levels of Care

What is Residential Treatment?

The residential setting at the Mental Health Center of San Diego allows for a thorough form of treatment that provides clients with the support and relief they need. A residential treatment center (RTC) is a facility with a staff of certified healthcare professionals that provides 24-hour care in a community environment.

Clients have access to regular therapeutic sessions that specifically aim to address thinking patterns or challenging automatic thoughts that keep them from the life they desire.

What to Expect From Residential Treatment

As part of their daily routine, patients in residential care are expected to adhere to a weekly plan of wake-up and bedtime and group meetings, tasks, and mealtimes.

During residential treatment, you can expect to give and receive support from other individuals going through similar experiences. The staff is highly skilled and trained to provide evidence-based therapies including individual and group counseling, medication management, life skills training, and education. An added benefit of residential treatment is 24/7 access to clinical and medical care so that any crisis that arises can be managed without delay. Ultimately, your journey through a residential program will allow you to develop the coping skills needed to start living a truly fulfilling life.

Long-term Residential Treatment

Long-term recovery programs are less intensive than short-term rehabilitation programs, requiring more extended stays in residential treatment facilities. Comprehensive interventions are provided in these settings, which may involve using medicines and therapy and support services such as job training, tutoring, and speech therapy.

Short-term Residential Treatment

Residential treatment programs for a limited time offer strict but temporary treatments. These programs often last a few weeks to a few months.

Therapeutic Communities

Therapeutic communities are a sort of long-term residential treatment in which residents live for six months to a year or more. These programs are designed to help clients develop positive attitudes, self-concepts, and behaviors that will allow them to accept responsibility for themselves and live productive lives. They frequently use re-socialization as the primary mode of intervention.
