Providence Care’s Adult Mental Health community teams serve people experiencing moderate to severe and persistent mental illness in urban and rural communities, with four outpatient clinics and five mobile teams working across Southeastern Ontario.
Assertive Community Treatment
The Assertive Community Treatment program features teams who provide recovery-oriented treatment, rehabilitation and support services for individuals who experience serious and persistent mental illness, require a higher level of support in order to maintain success in the community and have not benefited from traditional community mental health supports. Teams include Psychosocial Rehabilitation and the Community Integration Program.
All teams provide 24/7 service (on call after hours), weekend and holiday coverage to support clients living in their chosen community setting.
Community High Intensity Treatment
The Community High Intensity Treatment program features teams who provide recovery-oriented treatment, rehabilitation and support services for individuals who experience serious and persistent mental illness, require a higher level of support in order to maintain success in the community and have not benefited from traditional community mental health supports.
All teams provide 24/7 service (on call after hours), weekend and holiday coverage to support clients living in their chosen community setting.
Community Treatment Order
The Community Treatment Order program coordinates mental health services for individuals having a diagnosis of a serious mental disorder and a pattern of admission to inpatient psychiatric care, a condition that stabilizes with inpatient treatment, and a history of stopping treatment following discharge.
Dual Diagnosis Consultation Outreach Team
The Dual Diagnosis Consultation Outreach Team (DDCOT) supports individuals who are 16 and over, who have a dual diagnosis of an intellectual disability or pervasive developmental disorder, with a suspected or diagnosed mental illness or behavioural disorder.
Mood Disorders Research and Treatment Service
Mood Disorders Research and Treatment Service provides specialized care to adults with major depression, bipolar disorders, dysthymia, cyclothymia and other mood disorders. Services include psychiatry, occupational therapy, social work, cognitive behavioural therapy groups, and Changeways groups (for depression and bipolar illness).
Personality Disorders Service
Personality Disorders Service provides care for non-psychotic adults who have been diagnosed with a personality disorder. These individuals tend to experience intense and distorted thoughts, and engage in self-destructive and socially inappropriate behaviours that are hard to change and impacts aspects of daily life.
Regional Outreach
The Regional Outreach program strives to improve clinical outcomes for individuals with serious mental illness by engaging in the provision of clinical services and community capacity enhancement activities. The program is responsible for providing expertise to contribute to recovery-oriented, individualized service plans and to augment and develop resources regionally. Treatment and rehabilitation services are provided in individual and group formats on a time-limited basis.
