Individual and group therapy also help clients examine thinking patterns, personal values, and emotions, encouraging meaningful change and better emotional regulation in everyday life.

Clients receive treatment in a medically supervised environment with access to psychiatrists and a dedicated support team. The program structure is staged and can include private appointments, group therapy, and step-down day treatment following inpatient care.
