The Department of Behavioral Health and Psychiatry at Trinitas Hospital offers a full continuum of care for adults with substance abuse and co-occurring psychiatric disorders. The adult program is designed to provide both structured program services as well as a menu of outpatient services which include Bi-lingual Aftercare, Relapse Prevention, Individual and Family Counseling and Medication Management. All services are tailored to the individual and are based on a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment by our qualified staff using Addiction Severity Index and ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) placement criteria.

Our programs espouse the disease model, and treatment is focused on the individual and not just the illness. Our philosophy is based upon the goal of complete abstinence, though we realize that relapse may at times be part of one's road to recovery. The additional support of self-help fellowships, specifically those founded on the 12 steps developed by Alcoholics Anonymous, is strongly encouraged.

Our Adult Day Program (HOPES-Holistic Outpatient Program) is either a step down from inpatient or ambulatory detoxification or a direct admission. Our Partial Day Program provides five hours of treatment a day, 5-7 days a week with a residential component if necessary. Our Intensive MICA (Mentally Ill Chemically Addicted) Program provides 4 hours of intensive treatment 5 days a week under the direct supervision of our staff psychiatrist. In addition, a medication management component provides supportive services for those clients taking or considering medication. Our Intensive Outpatient Day and Evening Programs meet 3 hours a day, 3 times a week with a step down to outpatient services. There are three aftercare groups that meet once a week and are available in both the day and the evening to accommodate those clients who work.

For those clients attending day treatment, meals are provided. All programs strongly encourage family participation.
