At the core of all of our programs and services, our unique and internally developed Social Integration Model is rooted in the belief that it is our utmost responsibility to do whatever we can to prepare our clients for life outside of treatment. Simply put, our Social Integration ModelSM is designed to assist clients in reaching the highest level of individual functioning possible.
Of course, while in our facilities, we want our clients to be emotionally and psychologically stable, to be comfortable and to enjoy their time in treatment. But, how our clients “look” within our facilities is far less important than how they act, behave and function outside of our four walls. What really matters is how our clients function in the real world – that is the premise of our Social Integration Model.

Our Social Integration Model immerses clients into real life activities within the community. In fact, recreational, social, cultural and life skills activities within the community with our licensed staff form the core treatment interventions in our programs. Traditional individual, group, family and expressive arts therapies are also utilized as a complement to our social integration therapeutic interventions.

Within the community, our staff observes clients in real life situations, and intervenes, as appropriate, right there, on the spot and in the moment. These observations are then incorporated into the client’s ongoing treatment plan. |

One of the most obvious and unfortunate responses to people with cognitive and emotional disabilities is that other people simply do not want to be around them. This often includes family and friends. By providing real life treatment experiences, we build appropriate interpersonal skills so our clients can rebuild relationships with family and friends, and even make new friends. |
