Independent Living with Guidance
Innercept’s Launch Program is unique to mental-health residential treatment centers for young adults, offering an additional layer of care often not found in other programs. In addition to the many resources of previous levels of care, Launch offers a supportive independent-living model. Our residents are given the freedom to flourish on their own, while giving them full access to any level of support they need, when they need it. Launch combines the same continuity of care (therapeutic services and professionals) from earlier stages of treatment with individualized community-based support. Fees are lower than previous levels of care, while residents receive a range of support not found in most transitional living programs.
Focused services including targeted mentoring of independent living skills and mood management, to balancing physical health and fitness, establishing healthy relationship patterns, self-esteem and values, prepare individuals for productive living long-term.
By enhancing our young adult residents’ ability to cope with new challenges as they practice the life skills they’ve learned, we help them create new connections in the community. In doing so, we can better position them to be successful in their endeavors after their treatment at Innercept.
