What is Therapeutic Day Treatment?
Therapeutic Day Treatment is a program designed to successfully address mental health, emotional, behavioral and substance abuse issues that create a barrier to effective learning. FOCUS Inc. QMHPs facilitate strategic interventions designed to address disruptive behavior immediately without interrupting the class to address one child’s acting out. An immediate intervention by a QMHP-C gives the child the best opportunity to redirect any negative behaviors. This is in effort to teach appropriate coping, social and communication skills.
Day Treatment Services:
Comprehensive, intensive, and clinical treatment services for children, ages 5 through 17, who exhibit emotional and behavioral problems. The day treatment team provides therapeutic activities including individual and/or group counseling, behavior management, crisis intervention, family counseling and psycho-educational interventions.
Once a child or adolescent has been determined to be eligible for Therapeutic Day Treatment,
a diagnostic evaluation is conducted, followed by the development of an Individualized Service Plan designed to cover therapeutic activities before, during and after school, as well as in the home and during holiday and summer breaks.
