Intensive Diagnostic Evaluation Program
Program Mission
The focus of ClearView Communities (CVC) is to provide long-term psychiatric rehabilitation services to young adults with persistent mental illnesses. However, because we encounter many individuals who have not obtained a clear diagnosis and treatment plan from current providers, and who do not necessarily need long-term residential treatment, we also offer a 30-day Intensive Diagnostic and Evaluation Program (IDEP).
Our IDEP will offer a time-limited stay for young adults to establish a diagnosis based on comprehensive clinical assessments and careful observation in group and individual settings. An extended period of observation and evaluation is likely to produce a better diagnosis and treatment plan that will help maintain stability for the resident after discharge.
Program Structure
Residents of the IDEP will receive a detailed psychiatric assessment on admission. In addition, all prior psychological testing will be gathered and reviewed. If needed, further testing for cognitive functioning and personality characteristics will be performed by an expert psychologist. Psychiatric rating scales for mood symptoms, psychotic symptoms, and community functioning will be obtained regularly.
Residents will have weekly psychiatric appointments to collect additional observations to assist with formulation. Psychopharmacology services will be offered during the resident’s stay to achieve the optimal medication regimen. Residents will participate in weekly individual psychotherapy, and daily group psychotherapy sessions. Residents will also undergo a thorough review of their physical health and coordination of all necessary medical consultations, laboratory tests and imaging studies will be offered.
Prior to discharge, a report summarizing the relevant psychiatric, psychological, and medical issues will be furnished to the resident and family. Discharge planning services will include identification of appropriate resources in the patient’s home community and detailed recommendations for ongoing treatment.
Potential Admissions
Potential candidates for the IDEP program will not be so symptomatic as to require hospitalization or long-term residential treatment. Potential candidates will also undergo standard admission screening procedures to rule out active substance abuse, active violence towards others, high likelihood of self-harm, and active criminal litigation.
Funding for the ClearView Communities Diagnostic Program
The cost for the diagnostic program is $30,000 for the 30-day program. This cost, as well as a $1,000 Refundable Security Deposit are due at the time of admission. We can provide a superbill of all services provided for you to submit to your insurance carrier. We cannot offer an estimate of what may be reimbursed, and we cannot guarantee any coverage or authorization from an insurance provider.
Our mission is to create a superior therapeutic residential experience for persons with serious mental illness and co-occurring disorders. We offer a unique and comprehensive program for adults who are seeking recovery and independent living in the community.
