BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

Chartiers Center’s primary focus is the integration of physical health and mental health wellness to enhance the quality of life for all people with behavioral or intellectual/ and developmental disabilities. To reflect the integration of health and wellness, we changed the name of the service line from Behavioral Health Services to the Recovery Treatment Service Line. The program provides a full range of recovery oriented treatment and services for individuals and families.

Outpatient Services

Chartiers Center’s Outpatient program helps provide support, stability and relief to our consumers by empowering them to learn different ways to handle their mental health challenges and complexities. From the learning about our consumers’ medical history to educating consumers about different tools and medications can help create a road map to an individual’s recovery.

Working collaboratively with our consumers, our therapists create a treatment plan that focus on their unique goals. Our Psychiatrist/CRNP will not only prescribe medication (if needed), but also educate our consumers about them and how to take them. Since our consumers are part of their own treatment team, the care they receive is more focused on their needs, wants and desires.
