Program Structure
Continuum of Care
Our all-inclusive residential treatment program offers a continuum of care with intensive treatment and thoughtful transition back into the community. 24/7 support is available to all residents, no matter where they are in their treatment journey. As residents begin to integrate more into the community, independent living skills are carefully transitioned in a way that can be practiced and mastered prior to discharge. While the same level of support is always available, the goal is to decrease the dependence on this support and increase the resident’s confidence in their own skills.
Residential Mental Health Therapeutic Program
All Residents live in a house that is staffed around the clock with awake direct care professionals who provide support, treatment intervention, encouragement, and monitoring. This includes support within the household, assistance to and from the office for clinical and treatment team appointments, community interaction, and social activities. Residents are expected to participate in group programming as well as their individual appointments with their psychiatrist, therapist, and members of their treatment team or support staff. Medication administration is directly supervised by staff. Residents are also supported in pursuing Community Integration such as paid employment, volunteer work, or furthering their education.
Once a resident has obtained a minimum of 10-25 hours of consistent Community Integration and is actively participating in their clinical goals, there is a natural transition into a step-down level of care. At this level of care, there is still staff support available 24/7, and residents are given more independence. They may be able to use a personal vehicle, have more time in the community without staff present, remain in the house without staff present, self-administer medication, and create a modified daily schedule.
The next organic internal step is our semi-independent level that continues to engage a resident’s independence while actively participating in their clinical goals. Staffing and milieu models have not changed, yet residents may opt to not rely on as often as in the other more intensive levels. This level often reflects what a resident’s daily life may resemble after discharge.
Supported Living Services
The ultimate goal for everyone is independent community living. ClearView Communities offers wrap-around support services for our residents who graduate from semi-independent living and move into their own apartments in the larger community of Frederick. These residents may still participate in our services including group therapy, individual sessions, case management, psychiatric care, and vocational coaching. The community and staff at ClearView Communities serve as a support and provide assistance in finding and engaging other resources in the community that provides transitional support.
Supported Living Services is designed to be a time-limited service while an individual is adjusting to living independently. Admission to this level of care is determined on a case-by-case basis, and is intended to be no more than six months in length. ClearView Communities will ensure that outpatient providers are arranged prior to discharge from Supported Living Services.
Inpatient Care
If residents should require inpatient hospital care, the ClearView Communities treatment team remains in contact with the resident during his or her time in the hospital, as appropriate. This maintains the individual’s connection with our community and helps prepare a plan for transition following the hospital stay.
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.
