Focus

At this center, you receive personalized care for mental health conditions. They provide therapy and tailor treatment to your unique needs, diagnoses, and preferences.

Safe Journey House is a therapeutic residential treatment facility designed to serve as an alternative to psychiatric hospitalization or to shorten inpatient stays. It supports individuals experiencing psychiatric crises through short-term care with 24/7 access to licensed mental health professionals and psychiatrists. The program’s main goal is to resolve immediate crises and prevent future ones, offering two levels of service focused on inpatient admission prevention and inpatient admission alternatives. The center focuses on helping clients build a strong support system and use their own skills to recover. Within the first 72 hours, clients work with staff to create a personalized Crisis Prevention Plan that helps spot triggers and plan ways to handle future crises. Besides crisis counseling, Safe Journey House also connects clients to helpful community services like financial aid, education, social support, medical care, and mental health resources. Residents receive support aimed at helping them return to their previous living situations or transition to new ones that meet their needs. The program combines clinical care with connections to community resources and individualized planning to assist clients in achieving stability and managing future crises.
