Our Mental Health Disorder Treatment Options
Our multifaceted treatment options are designed to work together seamlessly, creating a support system that adapts to your changing needs throughout your recovery journey. Each treatment option is backed by extensive research and delivered by experienced professionals who are passionate about mental health treatment. And to ensure we remain on the cutting edge of care, we continuously update our programs to incorporate the latest therapeutic advances.
Psychiatry and Medication Management
Our psychiatric team comprises board-certified psychiatrists who specialize in diagnosing and treating complex mental health conditions. Through careful evaluation and ongoing monitoring, we develop medication strategies that effectively manage symptoms while minimizing side effects.
However, our medication management services go beyond just writing prescriptions. We provide ongoing education about your medications, their benefits, and potential side effects, ensuring you remain informed. Regular check-ins and adjustments ensure your medication plan evolves with your needs, while our integrated approach allows for seamless coordination with your other treatment providers.
Individual Therapy
Our approach to individual therapy combines traditional evidence-based methods with innovative techniques to provide truly transformative care. Our licensed therapists are trained in multiple modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), eye movement desensitization reprogramming (EMDR), trauma-informed care, and more, allowing them to tailor their approach to your needs and preferences.
Each individual therapy session is designed to build upon previous progress while addressing new challenges as they arise. We focus on developing practical coping skills while exploring underlying issues that contribute to mental health challenges. Our therapists work with you and your care team to set meaningful goals and track progress, ensuring therapy remains effective.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
TMS therapy represents a breakthrough in treating depression and other mental health conditions that haven’t responded adequately to traditional treatments. Using precisely targeted magnetic pulses, TMS stimulates specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation, offering hope to those who’ve struggled with conventional treatments.
Our TMS program includes comprehensive assessments to determine if treatment is appropriate, detailed education, and ongoing monitoring. Sessions are conducted in a comfortable, private setting by trained professionals who ensure your comfort and safety. Many patients report significant improvement in symptoms with minimal side effects, making TMS an attractive option for those seeking alternatives to medication.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for Mental Health
Our IOP for mental health provides structured support while allowing you to maintain your daily commitments. The multi-week program typically includes one individual therapy session per week with your primary therapist, group therapy 3 hours a day for 3 to 4 days per week, and psychiatry and medication management services once a month. (Our virtual IOP and the hybrid in-person/virtual model offered at some locations provide added flexibility and accessibility.) This intensive model creates a robust framework for deep, lasting recovery while also letting you maintain personal responsibilities.
The curriculum addresses various aspects of mental health recovery, including emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness, and stress management. Groups are kept small to ensure meaningful interaction and support among participants, while individual sessions allow for focused work on personal challenges and goals.
Dual-Diagnosis Care
Our dual-diagnosis program recognizes the complex interplay between mental health conditions and substance use disorders. As the gold standard of care, our dual-diagnosis treatment addresses both conditions simultaneously, as treating one without addressing the other often leads to incomplete recovery. Treatment includes targeted interventions for both conditions, medication management when appropriate, and specific support for the unique challenges faced by individuals with co-occurring disorders.
Virtual Treatment
Our virtual IOP and virtual therapy servies maintain the same high standards and comprehensive approach as our in-person program while offering greater accessibility and convenience. Using secure, HIPAA-compliant technology, participants can engage in group sessions, individual therapy, and skill-building workshops from the comfort of their homes. Additionally, some Guardian Recovery facilities offer hybrid in-person/virtual care options. All virtual programs ensure that comprehensive and coordinated care is always within reach.
The Treatment Process
Your journey at Guardian Recovery begins with a comprehensive evaluation conducted by our experienced clinical team. This thorough assessment examines your mental health history, current symptoms, life circumstances, support systems, and treatment goals. We also review any previous treatment experiences and medical history to ensure we have a complete understanding of your needs.
Following the assessment, our multidisciplinary team collaborates to develop your personalized treatment plan, which we review with you in detail. This plan outlines recommended services, treatment frequency, and specific goals. Regular progress reviews ensure your treatment evolves with your changing needs, with adjustments made to optimize your recovery journey.
