MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS AT BANYAN

Levels of Care in Our Mental Health Treatment Program

At Banyan Treatment Centers, we offer multiple levels of care for individuals facing mental health challenges. Whether you or a loved one needs residential support or flexible outpatient options, our nationwide facilities provide individualized mental health treatment tailored to each person's unique needs and diagnosis.

Residential Mental Health Treatment

Residential mental health treatment is ideal for individuals struggling with severe or persistent mental health disorders that require 24/7 supervision and intensive therapeutic care. Patients live at our inpatient facility during treatment, which removes them from potentially triggering environments and allows them to focus fully on recovery.

Benefits of Residential Mental Health Programs

• Safe and Supportive Environment: Patients are removed from their daily routines and external stressors that may contribute to their mental health symptoms.
• 24/7 Supervision and Medical Care: Our trained professionals are available around the clock to ensure patient safety and provide continuous support.
• Comprehensive Therapy Options: Patients receive a combination of evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), individual and group therapy, and more.^[24]
• Sense of Community: Patients build connections with others going through similar experiences, which fosters a sense of belonging and post-treatment peer support.

Outpatient Mental Health Treatment (Formerly PHP)

Our Outpatient Mental Health Treatment program, comparable to a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), is designed for individuals who need more structured care than traditional outpatient therapy but do not require full-time residential treatment.

This level of care is ideal for adults with mental health conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, or co-occurring disorders who are medically stable and not at immediate risk of harm to themselves or others.

What to Expect in Our Outpatient Mental Health Program

• Daytime Therapeutic Services: Patients attend programming during the day and return home in the evenings, allowing them to maintain personal responsibilities while still receiving intensive care.
• Individualized Treatment Plans: Care plans are customized following a clinical assessment to ensure treatment aligns with the individual’s diagnosis and goals.
• Multiple Modalities of Care: Includes group therapy, individual counseling, medication management, skill-building workshops, and more.
• Step-Down Support: Often used as a transition from residential treatment to lower levels of care to promote long-term recovery and stability.

Intensive Outpatient Mental Health Program (IOP)

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for mental health offers a structured yet flexible treatment option for individuals transitioning from higher levels of care or those needing more support than traditional therapy provides.

This program is ideal for individuals with moderate mental health symptoms who want to continue their recovery while integrating back into work, school, or home life.

Key Features of Our IOP Mental Health Treatment

• Flexible Scheduling: Typically includes three-hour group sessions, three days per week, and one individual therapy session weekly.
• Virtual or In-Person Options: Patients can choose to attend sessions online through our telehealth platform or in person, depending on their location and preference.
• Evidence-Based Therapies: IOP includes a combination of CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, and other clinically proven therapies.^[21]
• Continued Support: Patients continue to develop coping strategies, emotional regulation skills, and relapse prevention techniques.

Telehealth Mental Health Services

For those seeking treatment from the comfort and privacy of their own homes, Banyan offers a Telehealth Mental Health Program that mirrors the structure and effectiveness of our in-person services.

Benefits of Virtual Mental Health Treatment

• Convenient Access to Care: Eliminate barriers like commuting, childcare, or scheduling conflicts.
• HIPAA-Compliant and Confidential: Receive professional support in a safe and private virtual setting.
• Accessible Nationwide: Our telehealth mental health program is available across the U.S., allowing us to serve patients regardless of location.

What We Treat at Banyan

Mental illness is a broad term to define many individual disorders. Our mental health programs are designed to treat various mental health ailments, including thought disorders and affective disorders (mood and anxiety disorders).^[23] We work with patients that fall anywhere from mild to severe on the mental illness spectrum with the goal of helping them lead happier and healthier lives.

Thought Disorders

Thought disorders are typically defined as disorders that cause an individual to hallucinate, have delusions, and be out of touch with reality.^[3] Some thought disorders that we treat in our Banyan behavioral health programs include: 

• Schizophrenia
• Schizoaffective Disorder
• Schizophreniform Disorder

As stated before, those living with any of the three disorders listed above may experience troubling hallucinatory symptoms, making it hard for the person suffering to distinguish between real life and their own imagination. Delusions, disorganized thought and speech patterns, and abnormal motor behavior may also be present in a person diagnosed with a thought disorder. If someone is exhibiting any of these distressing symptoms, it is crucial that you help them access our mental health services before they continue to escalate.

Affective Disorders

Affective disorders, also known as mood disorders, are commonly diagnosed psychiatric diseases that have varying symptoms. These symptoms can have a devastating effect on a person’s ability to lead a normal life, including impacting their relationships, social standing, and professional and educational progress.^[6]

The types of affective disorders treated at our Mental Health rehab include:

• Adjustment disorder
• Anxiety disorder
• Attachment disorder
• Bipolar disorder
• Major depressive disorder
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Self-injury or self-harming behaviors

Our rehab for mental health also provides resources to aid patients in overcoming different traumatic events, including grief, loss, assault, and difficult major life changes. It is understandable that events like these can make it hard to move forward but allowing it to fester will only make things worse. It is only by confronting it that a person can begin to relinquish the control their trauma has over them.

Mental health disorders are complex diseases that can affect every area of a person's life. Mental health facilities should offer various psychotherapeutic treatment modalities to address the symptoms and underlying causes of disorders like depression and anxiety, as well as the impact they have on the individual's life.^[19]

Signs You Need Mental Health Help

Signs and symptoms of mental illness can vary depending on the disorder the individual has. Mental illness symptoms can affect a person’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, making typical, everyday things difficult.

Common examples of mental health symptoms include:

• Confused thinking or reduced ability to concentrate
• Detachment from reality (delusions), paranoia, or hallucinations
• Excessive anger, hostility, or violence
• Excessive fears or worries
• Extreme feelings of guilt
• Extreme mood swings of highs and lows
• Feeling sad or down
• Inability to cope with daily problems or stress
• Major changes in eating habits (i.e., eating too much or eating too little)
• Major changes in sleep habits (i.e., sleeping too much or too little)
• Problems with alcohol or drug use
• Sex drive changes
• Significant tiredness or low energy
• Suicidal thinking
• Trouble understanding and relating to situations and people
• Withdrawal from friends and activities

Symptoms of mental health disorders can also appear as physical problems, such as stomach pain, diarrhea, headaches, back pain, and unexplained body aches.^[18] Most mental health problems don’t improve on their own, and if untreated, a mental illness is likely to get worse over time.^[1]

If you’re showing any of the signs listed above, especially suicidal thoughts and behavior, get help right away. Suicidal thinking is a major symptom of mental illness that rarely goes away on its own, so immediately reaching out for professional care is crucial.^[2]
