Help for individuals following a hospitalization
DBT for Acute Stabilization is for individuals who were recently hospitalized or endured a psychiatric crisis.
This intensive program provides short-term treatment to help you stabilize quickly. During the 6-week program, individuals will participate in daily DBT skills training and learn how to use those skills to prevent future crises.
Individuals must commit to safety and follow a safety plan, and either have an individual therapist assigned or have an intake scheduled. Individuals should not be in an active suicidal or safety-related crisis, and should have received either hospitalization or partial hospitalization in the event of a recent suicide attempt or similar safety incident.
This program is ideally for those who either do not qualify for longer-term programming at an IOP level due to insurance restrictions but would benefit from intensive DBT skills training or for individuals whose mental health symptoms require regular monitoring beyond once a day.
