MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT THAT FITS YOUR NEEDS, WITHOUT THE TRAVEL

If you need more mental health support than weekly therapy, you don’t have to go far. Our expert Behavioral Health team in Sycamore is here for you.

We offer DeKalb County’s only mental health intensive outpatient programs and partial hospitalization programs for both adults and adolescents ages 12 and up. They incorporate group therapy, one-on-one support and psychiatric care.

Partial hospitalization program: intensive mental healthcare without the hospital for five days a week

Intensive outpatient program: focused mental health support for several hours of treatment, multiple days a week

Programs like these can help you

• Get the care you need near your home, loved ones and everyday life

• Manage symptoms

• Build strong coping skills

• Address mental health needs to avoid a hospital stay
