The Model:

Treatment will be based on the recovery model which looks at treatment as a journey of healing and transformation enabling a person with mental illness to live a meaningful life in a community while striving to achieve his or her full potential. The recovery model works. A large body of research shows that mental illness is a treatable disease. With recovery-based treatment, the vast majority of individuals with mental illness will see significant alleviation of their symptoms. Many will recover to the point where they are able to return to a life in the community, and to live normal, self-supporting, productive lives.
