Description of Services


The Behavioral Health Day Treatment services at Elwyn’s West Philadelphia site offer adults with a history of serious and persistent behavioral health problems a range of supports to help them build more independent, meaningful lives.

Day Treatment services are holistic and help create a support system that enables people with mental illness to reach their rehabilitative goals and to realize new milestones in their lives.

Programs include:

  • The Partial Hospitalization program: a psychiatric day treatment program for adults with severe and persistent mental illness.
  • Social Rehabilitation: encourages community involvement and peer interaction to help individuals with a history of behavioral health problems build important social and life skills for more independent living.
  • Vocational Rehabilitation: offers a range of employment options to help adults with mental illness work productively and successfully in a program or community-based setting.

Commitment

Behavioral Health Day Treatment Services adhere to beliefs that cross the lines of all of the programs in social and vocational rehabilitation and partial hospitalization:  to help people achieve psychiatric stability and recovery in their lives. All services emphasize a well-planned and managed rehabilitation program that offers medication management and education, an array of therapies, and diverse choices in goal-oriented therapeutic activities. Along with consistent psychiatric care, all services underscore the importance of constructive therapeutic activities, community involvement, and employment opportunities as vital in promoting personal growth and success toward more independent and productive community living. Client empowerment is critical to maintaining a recovery focus for program members.
