Outpatient Services

Aurora Behavioral Health System’s Outpatient Services offer a therapeutic and nuturing environment to support patients who do not require 24-hour care, but still need an intensive level of treatment. Operating programs days, nights and weekends, the programs are designed for patients who are recieving treatment for a mental health or co-occurring disorder.

Often, participation in an outpatient program can help avoid frequent hospitalizations or reduce a patient’s length of stay in the hospital through ongoing monitoring and management of mental health care. Intensive outpatient can be a critical option for a continuum of care beyond the hospital.

We develop a unique treatment plan specifically tailored to each patient in the program. Since we are hospital based, patients have access to a multidisciplinary team of experts that includes physicians, psychiatrists, registered nurses, psychotherapists, and chemical-dependency counselors. Patients and their families are also encouraged to consider themselves part of the “treatment team.” Each patient receives an individualized treatment plan managed by a multidisciplinary treatment team.

We offer both psychiatric and co-occurring programs at various times and days, which focuses on education and coping skills that teach each patient healthy ways of managing their symptoms. The program includes:

• Mental Health Conditions
• Feelings and Emotions
• Medications and Physical Wellness
• Relationships and Support
• Spirituality and Relaxation
• Grief, Loss and Trauma Resolution Relapse Prevention
• Maintaining Recovery and Wellness

Advantages of Outpatient Services:

• Individual lives at home
• Sessions may be conducted while the individual continues to go to work or school
• Individual therapy is augmented by group therapies specific to the patient’s needs
• Multiple professional disciplines work with the patient and family
• Frequency of attendance is determined by the individual’s specific needs

Our goal is to empower each person to move to their “best” self and thereby learning new ways to cope with stress, anxiety and depression. All our groups and sessions are geared to treating the underlying causes and help facilitate recovery. Combination of group therapy, individual therapies and closely monitored medication management has been validated by research to be one of the most effective forms of treatment mental disorders.
