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.

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 resident’s home community and detailed recommendations for ongoing treatment.

The cost for the IDEP program is $30,000 for the 30-days. This cost, as well as a $1,000 Refundable Security Deposit are due at the time of admission.
