If you are unsure of your diagnosis or if our programs are right for you, please feel free to contact us with any questions about the conditions we treat.
People will be successful in our programs if they are able to commit to the time requirements, feel ready to do the work, and can focus while there. This usually means having someone supportive in your life, stable housing, and a willingness to be sober while at the program.
Patients can begin treatment within a week. We know how critical it is for those experiencing a mental health crisis to access immediate care.
Our team prioritizes collaboration with clients’ existing care team to ensure a warm hand-off once patients graduate from our program.
If your patient is in need of greater support than standard therapy offers but doesn’t require a hospital stay, you can refer them to Overstory Health. Alternatively, if they’ve recently come out of an inpatient psychiatric stay, we can help them continue their recovery and transition back to their typical routine.
