Aftercare for Mental Health Treatment

AMFM Mental Health Treatment offers compassionate clinical and therapeutic care from admissions to aftercare. If you or a loved one are struggling with mental health disorders or mental health challenges, a residential or outpatient facility may offer you with resources and strategies to improve your well-being and enable behavioral growth. AMFM Mental Health Treatment provides aftercare plans after any and all mental health programming and treatment options, in order to set you up for success and lasting wellness.

What is Aftercare for Mental Health Treatment?

Aftercare refers to the plan of action following mental health programming. Aftercare services may include ongoing support groups to expand an individual’s support network, check-ins with ongoing therapy, additional coping strategies, continuing care, or medication management. Cohesive aftercare strategies can help clients work toward a higher quality of life, as well as a more fulfilling life.

Beyond a personalized aftercare plan, AMFM Mental Health Treatment may recommend continued support via an IOP or PHP treatment program. Outpatient treatment allows clients to transition more slowly back into their day to day schedules; it’s important to lay a strong foundation of mental health care for long-term recovery from a mental health crisis.

Step Down Programs

After residential programming or inpatient treatment, some aftercare programs may allow you to “step down” to an IOP or PHP program, which consists of mental health programming but on a less frequent basis than 24/7 clinical care in an inpatient facility.

Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP)

Intensive Outpatient Mental Health Treatment is a form of treatment designed to help those with mental health conditions through a combination of group and individual therapy. Qualified mental health professionals lead clients through behavioral health programming, providing personalized treatment plans, evidence-based programs, and psychoeducation resources. 

IOP programs provide comprehensive mental health treatment and thorough access to health care, but at a more flexible schedule. AMFM Mental Health Treatment offers outpatient programs in Virginia, Washington State, and California, with both in-person and virtual treatment options to meet your unique needs.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

PHP is a form of a mental health treatment program designed to help those struggling with mental illnesses through a combination of group and individual therapy, to improve well-being. Qualified mental health professionals lead clients through behavioral health programming, providing personalized treatment plans, evidence-based programs, and psychoeducation resources.  PHP programs provide comprehensive mental health treatment and thorough access to health care, but at a more flexible schedule. 

Unlike inpatient residential treatment, the partial hospitalization program option only takes place during the day, allowing clients to return home at night and on the weekends. This level of care may be helpful for those continuing studies or work in the evenings or on the weekends. AMFM Mental Health Treatment offers PHP in Virginia, Washington State, and California, with both in-person and virtual support systems to meet your unique needs

Therapies Offered with AMFM Mental Health Treatment

In a mental health treatment center, the day-to-day may vary depending upon your diagnoses and personalized treatment plan, but it will often consist of some combination of individual therapy sessions, group therapy sessions, psychiatry services, and more. AMFM Mental Health Treatment combines holistic and evidence-based mental health services in order to help each person overcome their particular obstacles and mental health conditions with a fresh toolkit of skills.

Group Therapy

Group therapy sessions can be used to help provide structured times to help you understand that you are not alone in your struggles, offering peer support, and the reminder that others are also walking through these challenges. At the same time, groups provide guidance from qualified mental health professionals, with suggestions and communication from psychologists with specialized backgrounds. These groups can span a variety of backgrounds, including but not limited to art therapy, somatic therapy, and narrative therapy.2

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that’s focused on restructuring and reprogramming maladaptive and negative thought processes. Psychologists are trained to help adults and young adults change their cognitive and emotional processes in order to outgrow maladaptive coping mechanisms.3  

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is most commonly referred to as “talk therapy,” and is designed to help process emotions. Qualified professionals offer psychological therapy to move forward with healthy ways of engaging in interpersonal relationships and alleviating physical and emotional distress.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

EMDR Therapy is a renowned method of reprocessing most often used in trauma therapy. By activating the prefrontal cortex through a series of bilateral stimulation, qualified professionals can lead you through traumatic experiences, helping you to alleviate the distress symptomized by trauma.4

Crisis Intervention and Stabilization Services

A crisis is defined by the National Library of Medicine “as an overwhelming event, which can include divorce, violence, the passing of a loved one, or the discovery of a serious illness.”5 The goal of crisis intervention is to provide safety and reduce any potential harm to an individual undergoing a crisis.

Family Therapy

AMFM Mental Health Treatment offers family therapy through virtual family support groups that provide a dedicated time for families to engage in supportive and constructive interactions, fostering stronger relationships, and enhancing the overall treatment experience. Recovery takes a village, and it’s often helpful for family members to be involved in behavioral growth.
