• Care is delivered in a structured, supportive residential setting that removes daily stressors, addresses stigma with education for patients and families, and builds practical coping skills, relapse prevention tools, and daily routines so you can return home with confidence and clear strategies for ongoing stability.
• The program specializes in complex and co-occurring conditions, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, and substance use, using integrated medical, therapeutic, and case management support so treatment plans stay coordinated, medications align with your biology, and progress carries forward after discharge.

Precision Medicine & PGx Testing 

Medications are often key to managing physical and mental health conditions. Until recently, doctors have had to rely on trial and error with medications. If one doesn’t work, they prescribe another. Exciting and profound changes in the form of pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing use a person’s DNA to determine how their bodies process a specific medication. Results help determine whether the medication is appropriate for the individual and their likelihood of experiencing certain side effects. We obtain a DNA sample during each patient’s initial intake to ensure they are prescribed the most appropriate medication.

This means you spend less time trying ineffective medications and more time engaging in treatments that are tailored to your unique biology. Our team will walk you through the PGx process and review your results with you so you feel informed and confident about your care.

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners 

Patients will have access to Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners with attending Psychiatrists in the expert handling and building of their individualized care plan. All RNs on staff are trained in specialized Mental Health Care. Our Medical team is extremely versed in the field of mental health disorders and the comorbidities that may accompany them. We understand that patients must feel seen, heard, and empathized with in order for them to feel secure enough to actively participate in their individualized plan.

Our psychiatric providers stay current with clinical guidelines and evidence-based modalities for mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, and co-occurring substance use, which reinforces the quality and reliability of the care you receive. During your stay, you will meet regularly with your Psych NP and medical team to review your progress, adjust medications when indicated, and ensure that your treatment aligns with your goals for recovery

Therapy & Case Management

We utilize both group and individual therapy, in which licensed professionals build the most effective treatment plan goals for that individual. These evidence-based therapies are facilitated by licensed clinicians experienced in residential mental health treatment, trauma-informed care, and co-occurring disorders. Group therapy modalities include (CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (ACT) Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, (DBT) Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, (SE) Somatic Experiencing, Psychoeducational Groups, Experiential Groups, Spiritual Psychology, Art Therapy, Creative Writing, Yoga, Mindfulness, Light Therapy, as well as Process Groups. We emphasize practical coping skills you can apply immediately, skills you take with you as you transition back into everyday life. Our licensed therapists meet patients individually in a step-down approach, starting twice per week, to handcraft the unique recovery plan to achieve overall mental wellness, cessation from troubling symptoms, and time to address the root causes of the patient’s current disorder. From your first day, your therapist and case manager collaborate with you on a clear, actionable aftercare plan so you leave treatment with appointments, resources, and next steps already in place. Our Case Management team will begin meeting with the patients the moment they step in the door, to build an aftercare plan that will ensure they carry their recovery process back out into the world.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

As part of our residential mental health program, our clinical team evaluates whether TMS aligns with your diagnosis and history, and if appropriate, integrates it into your personalized treatment plan. This therapy is noninvasive, utilizing a series of short magnetic pulses to simulate nerve cells in regions of the brain linked to major depressive disorders. TMS is highly effective for the treatment of addiction, anxiety, Obsessive obsessive-compulsive disorder, various forms of chronic pain, and treatment-resistant depression. TMS is administered 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Treatment can take place in both an inpatient and outpatient setting.

If you have tried multiple medications and therapies with limited relief, ask our team whether TMS may be a suitable next step in your care

Personal Training

There is more research on the effectiveness of physical exercise than there is on medications, and we utilize this often overlooked modality to both support and improve our patients’ mental health and mood disorders. This is done utilizing the most up-to-date and evidence-based exercise regimens based on our specific patients’ needs. Yoga is also utilized as a holistic piece of group exercise therapy.

A personal trainer will craft an individualized plan for each patient as physical activity is shown to improve mood. Your instructor tailors movement and exercise to your current fitness level, physical limitations, and mental health goals, creating a sustainable routine you can continue after discharge to help maintain stability and resilience.

Primary Care

Our team also utilizes Primary Care Practitioners to address the overall health and needs of each patient, in an effort to fully encompass a plan that is inclusive of their physical health and how it integrates with their mental health. By coordinating primary care and mental health services under one roof, we reduce gaps in communication and help ensure safer prescribing, fewer medication conflicts, and a more cohesive treatment experience. In addition, our PGX DNA testing allows practitioners to review a host of medications used not just for mental health but also for primary health needs as well. This testing ensures both the accuracy and the utility of care performed by our Primary Care Practitioners.

Dietitian & Nutrition

Education and guidance by a Registered Dietitian (RD) to address nutritional health, including gut health, as diet can profoundly affect mood. Our team will be curating a diet based on the individual’s diagnosed mental health condition to help reduce symptoms.

Your RD provides practical meal guidance, education on blood sugar balance, gut-brain connection, and hydration, and helps you build a realistic nutrition plan that fits your preferences and lifestyle after you leave residential care.

What We Offer

45-Day Program: We offer 45 days of inpatient care, during which patients receive intensive therapy to learn to cope, take care of themselves, and manage their medications. During this focused period, you step away from daily stressors and immerse yourself in a structured, therapeutic environment that prioritizes your safety, stability, and long-term progress.

Holistic Healing: We treat the person’s symptoms. Our holistic approach nurtures the well-being of your whole body, mind, emotion, and spirit for enduring wellness. By combining evidence-based psychotherapy, medical care, fitness, nutrition, and spiritual or experiential therapies, we deliver truly integrated residential mental health treatment that supports you on multiple levels.

Safe Residential Environment: Managing one’s mental health can be quite challenging, especially in non-supportive environments. For this reason, our Residential Mental Health Program has been designed to surround you in a warm, safe space that truly nurtures you through the process. You will receive the support you need while learning healthy ways to navigate triggers and stressors.

Transition to Independent Living: We transition patients to independent living by providing tools and strategies for good mental health and well-being. Before you complete the program, your team will outline your specific next steps, including outpatient providers, support groups, relapse-prevention strategies, and daily routines that reinforce your progress.

Ongoing Support: Our program spans 45 days, but our therapists and case managers are committed to providing each patient with ongoing resources and support even after their time with us.

Overcoming Mental Health Stigma 

When community members, families, and individuals with mental illness associate feelings of shame and stigma with these conditions, it forms a major barrier that discourages them from pursuing essential treatment. They frequently worry about being judged or rejected by society, which can worsen their situation. We recognize how difficult it can feel to ask for help. Our admissions process is confidential, judgment-free, and focused on listening to your story so we can recommend the right level of care for you.

Education is vital in the Midwest Mental Health Program. We empower patients and families with knowledge, emphasizing that mental illness is treatable and does not have to be a shameful condition. Our educational initiatives provide tools for navigating this journey and promote a supportive environment where seeking help is encouraged. Through family programming, psychoeducation groups, and individualized support, we help loved ones learn more about residential mental health treatment and how to support long-term recovery.
