The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Program helps men and women develop the skills to effectively manage depression, anxiety, substance abuse and many other psychiatric disorders. The program runs Monday through Friday starting at 9 a.m. and ending at at 3:30 p.m. At the end of the day, you return home to practice the interpersonal and coping skills learned in the program.
Patients arrive at the hospital each morning and stay for six hours a day. At the end of the day, they return home to practice the interpersonal and coping skills learned in the program. These programs have proven to be effective treatment options for patients whose symptoms or level of functioning require more intensive treatment than outpatient care can provide but do not need inpatient hospitalization.

CBT is a form of talk therapy that focuses on thoughts, feelings and behaviors; the way you think affects the way that you feel which also affects the way you act. CBT offers a problem-solving approach to living. While you cannot control other people or situations, you can control the way you perceive and react to a particular situation. CBT teaches you the skills to change your thinking and manage your reactions to stressful people and situations. Treatment consists of individual and group therapy, medication management, and aftercare planning.
The program length is individualized to your needs but does require a minimum commitment of five days. We ask that you make attendance in the program a priority during this time.
On a typical day, you will participate in two or three groups each morning and two groups in the afternoon, with a 10–15 minute break between each group. There is a one hour break for lunch at noon.
During the CBT program, a treatment team works with you to determine the most helpful aftercare plan for your individual needs. Before leaving the program, you will receive a discharge instruction sheet, which includes follow-up plans, outpatient appointments, and any necessary prescriptions. The program also offers a free CBT skills aftercare group every Wednesday from 5 – 6:30 p.m. for patients who have completed the program and are seeking ongoing support.
The involvement of your family and others who play a significant role in your life is important to the success of your recovery. Family and couples sessions are arranged as needed. No contact will be made with your family or others without your consent, except in the case of an emergency.
