About Us
Our clinical team delivers individualized, evidence-based treatment through our proprietary Social Integration Model™, pairing clinical excellence with real-world skill development to prepare each client for a confident, lasting return to everyday life.
Great Lakes offers three levels of care designed to meet clients where they are and support them through every stage of recovery.
Residential Treatment
Our residential program provides 24-hour structured care and clinical support for adults navigating complex mental health conditions. Clients receive intensive, individualized treatment in a therapeutic environment designed to promote stability and long-term recovery.
Partial Hospitalization Program
Our PHP offers structured, intensive treatment five days a week — providing a seamless step-down from residential care while allowing clients to begin reintegrating into daily life.
Intensive Outpatient Program
Our IOP provides continued clinical support three days a week and is designed for clients who are ready to maintain personal and professional responsibilities while remaining engaged in structured treatment.
Exceptional clinical care in a compassionate, healing environment.
Treatment at Great Lakes is built around our proprietary Social Integration Model™ — a clinically grounded framework that moves beyond symptom stabilization to develop the social, emotional, and functional skills clients need to thrive after discharge. Every treatment plan is individualized, combining evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and family therapy.
