Residential Services
What is Residential Treatment?
Residential Treatment is an inpatient environment where people can go to stabilize in order to prevent or recover from a mental health crisis. They meet with a therapist several times per week. Their medication is monitored and adjusted as needed. They are able to engage in with other clients and staff to learn coping skills and life skills to help them begin to feel secure and ready to reenter their life in a better position.
​
What is CTU?
Safe Haven – Crisis Transition Unit (CTU) is a short-term residential treatment facility that supports clients in recovering from a mental health crisis. Clients typically stay with us for a short time, about 3 to 10 days. CTU focuses on helping clients to effectively engage in treatment in a home-like environment. We function as a lower level of care than a hospital setting. Because of this, CTU acts as a step-down from the hospital to help clients to further stabilize after a hospital stay. We also act as a preventative measure so that clients can engage in a more supportive environment before a hospital stay is required.
​
CTU has a supportive schedule that offers multiple group lessons a day. The instruction we provide has been approved by a clinician and assists clients in their long-term recovery. Clients use coping skills in real-time during a crisis with staff support. Clients have time and space to practice using these skills in a safe and focused environment. Clients will increase their effectiveness at using coping skills during their stay.
​
A clinician will meet with clients a few times a week to assist clients in identifying and overcoming barriers to mental health.

Why CTU?
-
Medication support from a licensed provider
-
Our medical provider helps to adjust medications and monitors their effectiveness during a client’s stay. They are able to identify what is working and what is not working and adjust quickly, when needed. This allows clients to see improvements right away instead of multiple visits to a provider over weeks for medication adjustments.

Our nurses help monitor medication adjustments, side effects, and effectiveness. Nurse assessments occur daily based on client need.

Daily group lessons on coping and life skills
