Effective discharge planning is an essential phase of the mental health recovery process. The transition from residential treatment to daily life often introduces new complexities, making proper support paramount. At Capella Recovery Center, aftercare is never an afterthought; it is fundamental to sustaining the therapeutic progress you’ve made and building confidence for independent living. Each plan is crafted with your unique goals, therapeutic gains, clinical needs, and circumstances in mind. You receive guidance for every step of the transition.
Your discharge plan is tailored to your specific situation, offering resources and ongoing support that reinforce your stability. After treatment, your plan may include:
Each plan is designed with clinical assurance, empowering you to return to your community with new skills, connections, and therapeutic backing.
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) offer a highly structured, intensive day program, typically five to six days per week, designed to provide strong clinical stability as you transition back toward independent living. This model allows you to engage in comprehensive, on-site therapeutic care throughout the day while applying and strengthening your recovery skills each evening in your home or supported setting.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) provide the structured framework needed to sustain therapeutic gains while allowing continuous engagement in daily life. Built for flexibility, IOP enables you to reside at home and meet work, school, or family obligations, all while receiving comprehensive clinical care multiple times per week.
Outpatient programs (OP) are designed to provide adaptable, ongoing support as you continue your recovery process. Sessions may be held virtually or in person, allowing participation while maintaining full daily responsibilities. This level of care offers increasing independence while still helping you stay connected to expert guidance and clinical accountability.
