Sometimes we’re not feeling good. We can’t expect to feel 100% every day, and we have to allow ourselves to be a little unwell. There’s a difference, however, when you can’t shake those looming thoughts, and it’s harder to navigate through the day.
When our feelings become debilitating, and our negative emotions change our behaviors, it’s time to seek professional help. Although there’s still a stigma around mental health services, no one should have to process mental illnesses alone.
According to Mental Health America (MHA). While over 50 million Americans suffer from some form of mental illness, 26 million remain untreated. In 2021, MHA also found that Franklin County scored first in population at-risk for psychotic-like experiences among large counties in the U.S. Psychotic-like experiences are a severe symptom of several mental health illnesses if left untreated. The City of Columbus reported that emergency rooms in the county had seen an average of 11 suspected suicide attempts per week from 2016 to 2018. With proper prevention and care, we can avoid such extreme consequences.
The path to wellness doesn’t look like it’s shown in the movies with sterile white walls and medical beds. More than before, the psychiatric and psychological fields have advanced to offer treatments that fit your needs and lifestyle. Mental health services can be life-changing and a starting point after trauma.
There is no single cause for mental health issues. Many factors can contribute to developing conditions, such as trauma, use of drugs, dealing with other illnesses, biological factors, sudden changes, and isolation.
With various evidence-based practices, there are several treatments to untangle what you may be feeling inside. It’s important to find the right course for you, which can be a mix of therapies, skills, and medication.
One of the most popular therapies is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which involves learning to recognize unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and work towards changing these patterns.
Using components of CBT, emotion regulation therapy (ERT) encourages patients not to avoid their emotions. It also aims to teach patients how to accept, identify, and describe their emotions and use this information to reframe their reactions and pinpoint their needs.
There is family therapy and group therapy for someone looking for something other than a one-on-one therapy process. Family therapy strengthens communication, boundaries, and support among family members. By resolving issues, the family becomes a more effective support system that is important for mental health.
Group therapy, led by one or more therapists for a group of people, can use different treatment modalities such as CBT, support groups, and skill development groups. They often focus on issues like depression, anxiety, drug use, etc. In group therapy, participants must be willing to share and listen, creating a bond between the group and acting as a support network.
On a different spectrum, there is recreational therapy, an umbrella term for numerous more casual interventions such as pet therapy, music therapy, and art therapy, among others.
As for personal skills that keep you on track, there’s a wellness recovery action plan (WRAP) that creates daily plans for maintaining mental health, crisis plans, and post-crisis plans. The concept of mindfulness can sound very broad, but at its core, it is the practice of being aware of your thoughts and feelings moment-by-moment. It is about checking in with yourself and aiming to center yourself.
In the continuum of mental health care, several treatment options have different intensity levels. Often, the level of care depends on the severity of symptoms presented upon assessment, not necessarily based on the condition only.
The inpatient program (IP) is the most intensive care, and you would move into our facilities for in-depth treatment. A step-down is a partial hospitalization program (PHP) that would provide you with care during the day only. After further stabilization of symptoms, an intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides several weekly therapy sessions to secure a smooth transition into your routine. To continue the process, options such as outpatient therapies and support groups can keep you on the right track.
This kind of program serves for the more severe cases of conditions such as major depression, bipolarity, psychosis, suicide and self-harm tendencies, and substance use. The goals are to keep the patient safe and help them regain stability. Our programs include IP Mental Health Treatment, IP Substance Use Disorder Acute Rehab, and IP Detoxification.
There’s the myth that, if you go into an inpatient program, you’ll never leave. It is quite the opposite. We want to stabilize your symptoms to get you into the next phase of your treatment.
The average stay can be determined by how long the person has been avoiding their condition and worsening symptoms.
PHP is still structured to provide intensive and proactive care incorporating an individualized treatment plan similar to what was received in IP. This course of treatment, however, means that you’ll spend the day at our facilities but sleep in your bed. Your treatment during the day won’t have the disruptions of your routine, and at night, you’ll practice the skills you’ve learned during the day.
During PHP, you would attend five group therapy sessions daily, five days a week. The focus remains on CBT, coping skills training, and WRAP. In addition, if using a medication, our team of psychiatrists keeps overseeing your regimen and ensures it is working for you.
It is an excellent program for you to carefully transition into your mental health care routine while receiving guidance on applying what you’ve learned during treatment.
In our IOP, you would participate in three group sessions a week in our facilities, taking advantage of group counseling, such as a daily process group to work through current issues, CBT, and WRAP.
The first objective when providing mental health care is to stabilize any symptoms that may cause harm to anyone. Then, the treatment begins to explore the issues behind the symptoms and underlying conditions one may be experiencing. This exploration can be a lifelong quest, but it doesn’t need to be unbearable with the right tools. Mental health services will teach you how to cope with your feelings by staying ahead. The objective is to understand what triggers you and begin to see red flags as they come. Soon, you’ll become an expert and be able to identify your needs and obstacles before feelings become too overwhelming.
