Horizons of Recovery

Horizons is a component of the Range Mental Health Center’s Day Treatment Program.  It is designed for persons who suffer from mental illness, as well as an alcohol or drug problem.

At the core of this program is the belief that effective treatment for such persons addresses both issues concurrently, enabling clients to achieve the following:

1)    abstinence from alcohol and non-prescribed drugs as a long term goal,

2)  the highest possible level of functioning with regard to psychiatric symptoms, and

3) practical life skills utilization to manage both problem areas at once.

The Horizons Program is based upon a Day Treatment model.  The primary treatment group meets three days per week, three hours each day.  To facilitate treatment compliance, a more educational, minimally confrontational, less intense style is utilized by staff to assist clients in developing and sustaining coping skills.

A 12 Step approach addresses ongoing abstinence efforts. 

Individualized treatment planning and a multi-disciplinary team approach ensure that appropriate concepts and skills are offered.  Intensity and length of programming are flexible to meet each participant’s individual needs.
