- A Day In Treatment
Prisma In The Morning
Establishing an early wake-up routine lays the groundwork for a healthy path toward healing and restoration. Anticipate rising early and joining us for a nutritious breakfast. Our morning program includes activities like meditation, yoga, or casual gatherings to foster relaxation and cultivate a positive mindset.
Our emphasis is on instilling healthy habits from the outset. Establishing positive routines in your daily life is essential for laying the groundwork for lasting recovery. As you transition back to your life beyond our facility, these healthy habits will become ingrained in your everyday existence, supporting your ongoing recovery journey. By crafting new routines that diverge from the chaos often associated with mental health or co-occurring substance use disorders, you pave the way for a more stable and fulfilling future.
After breakfast, we have group sessions led by one of our mental health treatment professionals. These groups will vary in topics. They are always rooted in living life in recovery, adjusting to life outside of treatment, and maintaining your well-being. An imperative focus during your time in treatment is obtaining clarity about the people, surroundings, and problems that have transpired during life, resulting in unhealthy behaviors becoming your primary coping skill.
Daily group therapy sessions assist you in recognizing the behavioral patterns you need to work on changing. Having a supportive community with the same common goals helps you gain insight into recognizing triggers, approaching situations, and maintaining your path of recovery and healing.
An Afternoon at Prisma
After coming together for a healthy lunch, we begin our afternoon with therapeutic group and individual sessions. These include individual therapy with your primary therapist, group therapy, or specialized sessions.
At Prisma, we utilize many proven methodologies in our group and one-on-one sessions. Our team of clinicians develops personalized treatment plans to address the underlying problems that have contributed to co-occurring or mental health disorders. We treat with a whole-person approach while in treatment. We help you recognize patterns in your life and how to correct them, move forward with better coping skills, and lead a fulfilling life.
The afternoon also has breaks that allow patients time to process what they’ve learned or experienced or any emotions that may be brought up in a session. This helps us get into the habit of not reacting to things but processing them and moving along the correct path.
We utilize group sessions when not partaking in individual therapy or a recovery-focused activity. Group sessions offer a comforting environment where individuals undergoing treatment can connect with others who have also faced challenges with co-occurring mental health disorders. It’s common to find that your experiences closely mirror your peers’ experiences in the session. Our therapists leverage this shared understanding to facilitate discussions on recovery, honesty, accountability, and willingness. Sharing personal stories during these sessions immensely benefits emotional and mental healing. Through this shared time, trust and bonds are forged among the community, enabling more profound understanding, facilitating the essential healing process, and developing healthy relationships.
Evenings at Prisma
Evenings are a time to wind down. After a nutritious dinner, we have daily recovery-based activities, like art therapy, fitness, or fun activities to show you that life while in recovery is still exciting. This also allows you to work on any assignments from your therapist, decompress from the day, and spend time with the community.
What Does Mental Health Treatment Entail?
There are numerous programs offered when entering a treatment facility. While each treatment facility programs vary, there are some specific rehab programs that most accredited treatment centers offer.
Residential Treatment
During the residential level of care, a patient is evaluated and stabilized. During this stage a patient and their loved ones learn about their diagnosis and begin to explore treatment plans for lifelong management.
Counseling and Group Therapy
While attending a mental health rehab, patients receive individual and group therapy sessions. These sessions aim to help individuals acclimate back into society and adjust to their medications. Patients identify people and situations that have fueled their mental health condition, and learn new, healthier coping tools.
Education
Education is a core component of any treatment program. Those in early stages of recovery find the skills taught to them in residential treatment programs invaluable. Patients learn how their conditions affect their bodies both physically and emotionally. Episode prevention education is a key component to any rehab educational program.
Family
Those familiar with mental health treatment know all too well that mental wellness does not only affect the patient – it affects the patient’s entire family. Family meetings are strongly encouraged so members of the family understand that treating mental health conditions cannot be accomplished alone. Research indicates that including family and close friends into any treatment program significantly improves rehab outcomes for the individual being treated.
Aftercare
Residential treatment programs typically are several weeks to months in duration. This ensures that the patient remains in a structured environment, medication compliant and supervised by medical staff. Aftercare plans may include residence at a group house, Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs), and alumni peer support.
