The MHTL Program is for adults (must be at lest 18 years of age) with a diagnosed psychiatric illness (requires psychiatrist's authorization) who have a desire to receive staff assistance to stabilize and become more independent with daily living skills.  The program offers three levels of residential programming with various levels of rehabilitative services.  Programs are voluntary and residents length of stay varies as it is dependent upon choice, need and achievement of their goals.

Residents can select from a variety of services including:  Medication Management, Symptom Management, Skill Development, Rehab Counsel, Community Integration, Socialization Skills, Assertiveness Training, Daily Living Skills, and Coordination with Health Services, Substance Abuse Services and Parenting Skills.  Residents and staff work together to develop goal treatment plans and staff provide the desired services to assist with growth toward a lifestyle of increased independence.

The Program philosophy is focused on assisting adults with a mental illness to achieve their highest level of independent functioning and to move on to independent living of their choice in the community.
