Adult Community Services

List of Services

Adult Outpatient Program offers individualized contact with a psychiatrist and a registered nurse. Individuals come at intervals for the monitoring of psychiatric medication only. As this is the least intensive mental health service offered, consumers who are enrolled must show that no other mental health services are required.

Seasons Counseling provides outpatient preventative and therapeutic mental health services, which promote well-being, community living and independent functioning. Psychiatric evaluation and medication monitoring are also provided in conjunction with therapy when clinically indicated. Consultation and education include assessment and referral for drug and/or alcohol, stress management, and substance abuse.

R.I.T.E. Center (Realizing Independence Through Empowerment) is a consumer run and managed program. The center is a self-help, drop-in center for all consumers of mental health services in the county. The R.I.T.E. Center provides a place for consumers to gather for socialization, emotional support, self-help, acceptance and education. Services and activities include providing information and referral, weekly self-help groups, recreational activities, help with daily living skills and linkage to additional services in the community.

I.C.M.S. (Integrated Case Management Services) provides intensive outreach case management services to adults with severe and persistent mental illness. The goals of the service are to reduce both the frequency and length of hospitalization, and to increase connections to community services that improve quality of life.
