Military Program Mood Disorder Treatment
We treat individuals who have Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Adjustment Disorder, Panic Disorder, Acute Suicidality, Non-Combat Related Trauma, Personality Disorders and Childhood Trauma.
- Our treatment approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
- Our Therapists provide a comprehensive assessment to include a psychosocial history and develop an individualized treatment plan with every patient. Group therapy occurs daily where specific coping skills are taught and practiced. Weekly individual therapy is provided to enhance the daily teachings in group therapy.
- Our Psychiatrists see patients daily and provide an extensive medical work-up, including labs and medication management needs. In addition, we have Internal Medicine coverage for medical consults.
- Follow up after care plans are developed from the time of admission and throughout treatment focusing on safety and continuity of care.
- Active Service Members are provided a Care Conference with their Command and Clinicians prior to their discharge.
- Veterans are closely connected with the VA for follow up care as well as community resources.
The STAR Military Program uses the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 to track the severity of depression from admission to discharge. The scores of The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 are also complied and reviewed to determine patient outcomes.
