Mental Health Treatment Options

Even if you don’t deal with a mental illness personally, it’s more than likely you know someone who does. Everyone goes through challenges with their mental health, but when they start affecting your ability to function over a long period, they become an illness. And like any physical ailment, mental illness often requires professional help and treatment before you can start feeling better.

At Diamond House, we know there’s no “one size fits all” treatment when it comes to taking care of you. To ensure every California resident can receive the mental health treatment services they deserve, we’ve built our own facility in Northern California where we can deliver quality, compassionate care in any way you need.

Our Mental Health Facility

When you utilize our mental health treatment in California, we’ll discuss your program options and help you find one that works with your schedule. Our programs offer flexibility and security. Whichever one you choose, you’ll have access to private treatment from certified medical professionals, like Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners and Master’s-level therapists. Choose from:

• Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): Our PHP allows you to get the same standard of care as our inpatient treatment while still returning to your home in the evenings. In this program, you’ll come to our facility every weekday for treatment, then go home on evenings and weekends to manage your life.
• Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): An IOP gives you even more freedom in your schedule than a PHP. An IOP involves primarily one-on-one treatment with your main medical personnel for a couple of hours a day, three to four days a week. At Diamond House, we have both a virtual IOP program and an evening IOP program.

Treatment Options For Mental Health

Once we know your diagnosis, we can begin trying to treat it. For every client in our care, we devise a unique treatment plan using a combination of the modalities available at our facility. These treatments are broken down into three categories:

• Individual therapy: Individual sessions with our therapists let you dive in and get to the root of your mental health concerns, whether they’re trauma, past experiences or something else. You’ll have no distractions and can work with your therapist to develop coping strategies that work for you.
• Group therapy: Group therapy lets many of our clients know they aren’t alone. Here, you’ll learn new skills and share your stories with people who understand, building those crucial relationships that help you get through your time when receiving mental health treatment.
• Psychiatric care: Psychiatric care is an excellent aid to therapy. It involves prescribing medications that can help stabilize the brain’s chemical levels. Many mental health concerns come from these imbalances, which can be managed with medication to make it easier to confront other contributing factors to your diagnosis. Our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners will gather your medical history and meet with you regularly to monitor your progress and make changes where necessary.
