Bedrock’s Residential Mental Health Program

During residential treatment at BRC, you live at our treatment facility and receive 24/7 care. You will likely stay at our facility for 30 days, depending on your needs.

When you enter our residential program, our team of psychiatric nurse practitioners and clinical providers will evaluate your situation and create a personalized treatment plan just for you.

Your treatment plan may include:

• Short-term stabilization
• Medication management
• Individual and group psychotherapy
• Psychosocial treatments
• Wellness activities

Short-Term Stabilization

Our residential services for mental health help patients stabilize during a crisis and connect with supportive resources for both during and after treatment. Stabilization services available at BRC include:

• Psychiatric monitoring and evaluation
• Daily living skills training
• Social activities
• Counseling
• Treatment planning

Our short-term stabilization services are ideal for patients and families seeking an alternative to inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. Our program also works well as a residential step-down option following inpatient psychiatric care.

Medication Management

Patients on the pathway to improved well-being and mental health have their medications adjusted or managed as needed. Our psychiatric treatment team, including a psychiatrist and psychiatric nurse practitioners, determine medication adjustment when applicable.

Common Medications

The most common medications used to treat mental health conditions include:

• Anti-anxiety medications, such as buspirone (BusPar), hydroxyzine (Vistaril), and benzodiazepines like alprazolam (Xanax) and clonazepam (Klonopin)
• Antidepressants, such as sertraline (Zoloft), fluoxetine (Prozac), and bupropion (Wellbutrin)
• Antipsychotics, such as aripiprazole (Abilify), lurasidone (Latuda), and quetiapine (Seroquel)
• Mood stabilizers, such as lithium, lamotrigine (Lamictal), and oxcarbazepine (Trileptal)
• Stimulants, such as amphetamine (Adderall), Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine), and methylphenidate (Ritalin)

During our program, your medication is more likely to be adjusted or managed rather than completely overhauled.

Individual & Group Psychotherapy

Our residential treatment plans include multiple sessions of psychotherapy per day. Psychotherapy is available individually with your assigned clinician as well as in process group settings.

Some of the psychotherapies we offer include:

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
• Community reinforcement approach (CRA)
• Family psychoeducation therapy
• Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR)
• Exposure therapy
• Interpersonal Therapy

Group therapy plays an important role in mental health treatment at BRC. Our clinical experts facilitate each meeting to help participants feel validated and supported by others with similar life experience.

Psychosocial Treatments

Psychosocial treatments at BRC take advantage of our social setting to help you navigate your mental health concerns. They can also help your family and friends learn how to best support your recovery. Our psychosocial treatment options include:

• Psychoeducation groups
• Self-help and support groups
• Coping skills development
• Family counseling
• Vocational training
• Independent living training
• Case management
• Aftercare planning

After completing residential treatment, some people struggle to lead healthy, independent lives. BRC’s program, however, helps you develop coping skills and gain resources (such as housing and a job) so you can live as independently as possible.

Wellness Activities

When recovering from a mental health condition, it’s important to engage in activities that promote your overall sense of wellness. That’s why we offer activities that encourage a wellness-oriented approach to early recovery, including:

• Exercise at our on-site fitness center
• Yoga classes
• Mindfulness meditation classes
• Nutritional guidance
• Creative therapies
