TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY

Options believes that the ultimate goal for all of our consumers is to achieve their maximum level of independence and integration into the community. Our goal is to allow individuals with mental illness to regain control of their lives rather than fostering long-term, unnecessary dependence on the mental health system. Our approach is one of hope, recovery and new possibilities that encourages people to resume normal community roles such as worker, student, spouse, parent and neighbor.

Our strong commitment to identifying and promoting the strengths of psychiatrically disabled individuals has demanded that Options become creative and resourceful in initiating programs that depart from the traditional treatment model.
