Peer Support
Peer supporters are people who use their experience of recovery from mental health disorders to support others in recovery. Combined with skills often learned in formal training, their experience and institutional knowledge put them in a unique position to offer support.
Support Groups**
Self-help and support groups can help you gain insight into your condition. They can provide friendships, support, resources, and tips on how to live with your condition. They also help address the feelings of isolation that often go along with mental health conditions.
Group therapy is facilitated by a professional therapist, and involves a group of peers working on the same problem, such as anxiety, depression or substance abuse, for example. Group therapy can be a valuable place to practice social dynamics in a safe environment and find inspiration and ideas from peers who are struggling with the same issues.

12-Step Programs
A 12-step program encourages you to take a look at yourself, basically of who you are and the many things you have done. They also advise on how you can makeup, if you have harmed people in the past due to your habits. The idea of a 12-step program is that there is a purpose for introspection because you will have to identify habits of conflicting emotions and destructive behaviors in your life.
Office Visit or Out-Patient**
Individual, family and group therapy sessions are held our office. Meeting weekly, bi-weekly or monthly with a mental health professional, can provide a person better understanding of relationships, feelings, behaviors and how to manage symptoms and reduce the risk of relapse.

Residential or In-Patient Mental Health Treatment
Inpatient treatment, also referred to as residential mental health treatment, takes place in a residential facility on a 24/7 basis. This level of care is best suited for those who need constant medical supervision as well as those with relatively severe, long-term symptoms who have not shown significant progress after outpatient mental health intervention.
Hospitalization, in a minority of cases, hospitalization may be necessary so that an individual can be closely monitored, accurately diagnosed or have medications adjusted when his or her mental illness temporarily worsens. If you are contemplating hospitalization as an option for yourself, it can reduce the stress of daily responsibilities for a brief period of time, which allows you to concentrate on recovery from a mental health crisis.
In-patient care is not designed to keep you confined indefinitely; the goal is to maximize independent living by using the appropriate level of care for your specific illness. As your crisis lessens, and you are better able to care for yourself, you can begin planning for your discharge.
There are also times when a person becomes so ill that they are at risk of hurting themselves or others and hospitalization becomes necessary even though the individual does not wish to enter a hospital. While seeking help voluntarily is always preferable, a family member may have to make the decision to hospitalize someone with a mental illness involuntarily.
