Comprehensive Mental Health Programs

We understand that every patient is different. This includes which type of treatment and treatment program may be right for you. That’s why we offer various programs for struggling young adults in Vermont to ensure you receive the exact care you need wherever you are in your recovery journey.

We offer programs such as our:

Residential Program

Our residential program is designed to provide you with 24/7 inpatient care to ensure you receive constant care from our team of leading mental health professionals. Typically, this treatment program is best suited for patients who may be struggling with a more moderate to severe mental health condition that requires more care.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Our intensive outpatient program provides quality care for patients without having to stay overnight and receive 24/7 care at a facility, as with our residential inpatient program. Intensive outpatient care still gives patients essential mental health care treatment while providing flexibility. This treatment program is recommended for those with more moderate to mild conditions.

Aftercare Program

It can sometimes be difficult transitioning from treatment back to everyday life and stressors. Our aftercare program is designed to help you effectively transition back while still receiving the essential continued therapy you need to improve your mental health.

Supporting You Every Step of the Way

We provide a range of different treatment programs for struggling young adults in Vermont to ensure you receive the right care wherever you are in your recovery journey. We also help patients receive the care they need at their stage of recovery.

For example, if you are struggling with severe anxiety and depression, our residential treatment program may be right for you. As you receive care and improve your mental health, patients can transition to outpatient care and also our aftercare program to continue receiving treatment, while receiving the flexibility to transition back to everyday life.

Mental illness, left untreated, can significantly hurt your health and quality of life for the worse. You don’t have to suffer in silence with your mental health condition- our compassionate team of mental health professionals is here to provide you with the comprehensive care you need to effectively heal and progress in your road to recovery.

What’s Happening?

People come to Confluence for many reasons. And while no two people’s experiences are exactly alike, participants may be experiencing some of these common themes presently or in their past, including challenges associated with common mental health conditions, as defined by the National Institute of Mental Health, that can impact daily life.

Mental Health

Participants at Confluence are generally experiencing distress from mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and other diagnoses. Mental health may also be suffering from poor sleep, nutrition and activity levels as well as from experiences of trauma and isolation.

School

Academic challenges may be longstanding or participants difficulties finding success may be the result of executive functioning, attentional and/or learning challenges. Almost all recognize their current academic performance is not consistent with their capabilities or past performance.

Family Relationships

Relational and family system challenges are often present in our participant’s lives. Communications may be difficult and relationships are often stressed. Tensions can arise between competing priorities of young adults and their parents, which can sometimes fuel misunderstanding and conflict.

Friends and Social Groups

Young adults coming to Confluence are often seeing peer groups move forward in ways they are not experiencing. Withdraw from and avoidance of friends and social events is a common experience of participants, which can lead to increasing social difficulty and further fuel isolation.

Work

Those considering Confluence often find work environments difficult to navigate. Challenges include managing work relationships and issues of timeliness and accountability. Additionally, attentional challenges, low motivation and engagement are cited as common workplace difficulties.

The Future

Among some of the challenges experienced by participants is a general malaise or dis-ease about the future. Participants are often unsure, lack a direction and may feel they are falling behind. Future-oriented thinking, planning and working toward goals, academic or vocational, often suffer as a result.

Rediscover. Redefine. Reclaim.

Feeling lost can be a good thing. It means an opportunity to find what you’ve been looking for. To rediscover what you want out of life, redefine your goals, and reclaim what’s missing. To go from confusion to clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which treatment program is right for me?

No two recovery journeys are ever the same. Depending on your unique recovery needs and severity of your condition can impact which treatment program is right for you. For instance, patients struggling with more severe forms of mental illness are typically recommended to seek support from inpatient residential programs. This is to ensure you receive 24/7 care and support to best support your recovery needs. Many patients who start inpatient residential treatment can then choose to seek outpatient care as they improve their mental health condition, so that they can continue treatment. For patients with mild to moderate forms of mental illness, outpatient care oftentimes is the better treatment option for patients looking for quality care and flexibility. We offer various programs for struggling young adults in Vermont, including our intensive outpatient program, which offers patients the ability to receive the essential mental health care they need to lead a healthier, happier quality of life.

Do you offer evidence-based and holistic treatments?

Yes, not only do we offer a range of programs for struggling young adults in Vermont, but we also provide several different evidence-based and holistic treatment options. This includes treatment options like family therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and more. No more suffering in silence with your addiction. We understand that each patient can respond differently to various treatment options. This is why seeking a treatment center that offers personalized care and a range of treatment options and programs is so important. For example, some patients may benefit best from only receiving evidence-based care, while other patients we find can benefit from a combination of holistic and evidence-based care.

What can I expect during the recovery process?

If you are just starting your mental health recovery journey, typically you will first need to receive a diagnosis where your symptoms are evaluated by a licensed provider who can better provide treatment recommendations. From there, depending on your condition and its severity can impact which treatment program is right for you. As stated above, patients with more severe conditions are typically recommended to seek inpatient residential treatment where they can receive 24/7 care to best support their symptoms. Meanwhile, patients with milder mental illness may be recommended outpatient care so that they can still receive the quality mental health care they need to improve their mental wellness, while also giving them the flexibility to balance other responsibilities.

The team at Confluence helped our son immensely. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend the program for young adults that are ready and willing to actively engage in making significant progress toward a healthier life.

Quite frankly, our daughter’s transformation at Confluence saved her life. The experience was the most challenging of her life but it has changed her profoundly - she is learning to communicate, know herself and deal with her inner mental self.
