SECURE

Most people who come out of an inpatient hospital stay or partial hospital program still don’t feel quite themselves. Symptoms such as depression or and anxiety may still linger and some may question if the medication is really working. Even those who feel much better may feel unsure about going back to the environment or situation that led them to feel overwhelmed. InterCommunity's SECURE program is here to help folks dealing with this transition feel more secure. InterCommunity’s SECURE program provides the guidance and supportive environment needed to help people transition back into the community and help them find the quality of life that they want. The SECURE program uses a team of professionals and consumers to lead skill building classes, insight oriented therapy, medication management, and improve social supports. Once a person graduates from this multi-week program, the SECURE staff will work with each person to connect them to the services that best meet their individual recovery goals.
