Our goal is to manage your symptoms effectively and improve your daily functioning!

If you are feeling alone with your mental health struggles, read the quote below from Mental Health America’s 2024 Report. Nearly 60 million adults experienced a mental illness in the past year, and only half of them will receive treatment. The good news? The report advocates for upstream prevention and early intervention, which is exactly what we have been discussing recently at Sanford Behavioral Health.

 

โ€œWe are living in a time of poly-crisis when evidence shows that the need for mental health care is urgent. High numbers of adults and youth alike are having serious thoughts of suicide, following a year with a record high number for completed suicides, substance use is on the rise, and other indicators of distress and disparity continue to escalate. And yet obstacles such as high costs or a shortage of mental health providers prevent so many Americans from accessing the help they need,โ€ said Schroeder Stribling, president and CEO of MHA. โ€œMental Health America continues to advocate for policy and practice improvements that focus on upstream prevention and early intervention so that all peopleโ€”as they deserveโ€”have an opportunity to recover and flourish.โ€ State of Health in America 2024 Report

 

How’s Your Mental Health?

When life gets you down and mental health challenges impact your quality of life, we are here to help. At Sanford Behavioral Health, we offer comprehensive treatment options for individuals who are struggling with debilitating symptoms of depression, anxiety, or OCD that interfere with daily functioning. Our programs are also a good fit for those who want to feel better in their day-to-day life.

 

Clinical Director Tessa Sterling, LMSW, says, “You do not have to be at rock bottom or suicidal or even diagnosed to benefit from our mental health programs. These programs are at varying levels of intensity, and our virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP) is really a slight step up from a once-a-week therapy appointment.”

 

Our mental health program is virtual, 3 hours per day, 3 days per week. We are in-network with most commercial insurance companies. Please get in touch with our team today to better understand how our programs can help. Our goal is to manage your symptoms effectively and improve your daily functioning!

 

 

Clinical Director Tessa Sterling, LMSW, says, “IOP for mental health is about daily function. If you’re not feeling 100%, then you could have a mental health issue. Most people don’t learn coping strategies or healthy communication strategies. We want toย provide access to specialized programsย thatย supportย mental healthย and well-being.”ย

Virtual Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for Mental Healthย 

Sanford Behavioral Healthย has offered virtual addiction treatment options since before the pandemic. Virtual treatment (telehealth) is designed for those who need help with a mental health condition but have real-life obligations like work, school, or childcare. If in-person treatment is inconvenient or impossible because of a remote location or physical restrictions, virtual options have become a viable alternative. Likewise, our intensive outpatient programs have flexible schedules and meet only three hours per day, three days per week.

 

At Sanford West Behavioral Health Campus,ย  we have psychiatric, medical, clinical, dietary, recreational, and integrative programming under one roof. This means an individual gains access to the entire collaborative care team when they sign on to virtual programs. Once a therapeutic relationship is established, it is possible to access care across the spectrum of services at Sanford, including care for co-occurring disorders. Often, when someone has one mental health condition, it is accompanied by other mental health conditionsโ€”for example, depression and addiction or OCD and eating disorders.
