Continuum of Care focus at TSARR
TSARR’s “Continuum of Care” refers to a treatment system in which clients enter treatment at a level appropriate to their needs and then step up to more intense treatment or down to less intense treatment as needed, including a long term recovery lifestyle which most miss out on. We believe the continuum should always include clinical treatment and peer long term recovery.
To reinforce the idea of a continuum of care, we suggest that clinicians and administrators “envision admitting the client into the continuum through their program rather than admitting the client to their program”. This early focus on moving the client along the continuum also prompts clinicians to look ahead to the next step in a client’s treatment. This, in turn, helps clinicians engage in the treatment planning that is integral not only to the client’s ongoing care but also to the transition from one level of treatment to the next.
TSARR’s treatment program provides a specialized level of care, designed to meet the needs of individuals who are experiencing a variety of mental health disorders. The program’s purpose is to promote the maximum cognitive, social, physical, behavioral and emotional development in our adult patients. TSARR’s program offers the following individualized treatment components:
- Psychoeducational group
- Milieu therapy
- Family therapy/education
- Psychiatric evaluation
- Psychosocial assessment
- Recreational therapy
- Medication education
- Support groups
- Medical history and physical review
- Discharge planning
We focus on several levels of care at TSARR:
The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is an intensive outpatient level of care that offers access to a safe, structured environment that enables the patient to return home at night and maintain important family relationships. The program is five days a week and is designed for patients who require an intensive, comprehensive level of care. The patient who is most appropriate for this level of care may be experiencing problems at work, school, with family relationships or in social situations due to their mental health symptoms or co-occurring mental health/substance use disorder.
The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is dedicated to helping individuals develop healthier coping skills and build a recovery support network. Participants can continue to work, attend school, and tend to the duties of daily life. This nine-hour-a-week (three hours a day, three days a week) program allows patients the opportunity to practice their new skills while still benefiting from the support and accountability of treatment. This program allows participants to receive treatment on a part-time, yet intensive schedule. We believe that recovery and life are one and the same and it is for that reason that daily life is an integral therapeutic component of treatment.
Outpatient treatment offers a level of care for patients in need of an intensive, structured, daily therapeutic environment who do not require 24-hour care. Our specialty outpatient programs help adults stay on the path to recovery after an inpatient stay but do not require previous inpatient admission. Our outpatient psychiatric programs promote the maximum cognitive, social, physical, behavioral, and emotional development in individuals. Patients receive a combination of group, family, and individual therapy, a psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and treatment planning.
Level 1: Partial Hospitalization Services
The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) utilizes group therapy to provide skill-based knowledge for the patients to create change in their lives by understanding the psychiatric diagnosis, the impact of life stressors, and learning to identify triggers and coping mechanisms for a successful, healthy lifestyle. Many of our patients have felt helpless, hopeless and have had thoughts of suicide, which prompted them to seek treatment.
Partial Hospitalization Program may be the right next step in the transition from inpatient to outpatient treatment and may sometimes be the recommended treatment instead of inpatient care.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program utilizes multiple treatment approaches and skills:
- Skills that help people understand the connection between their thoughts and emotions and to develop alternate ways of thinking and behaving to improve functioning and decrease stress.
- Our therapy provides clients with therapeutic skills to manage painful emotions by using mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.
- We provide an approach for the treatment of depression, anxiety and stress, addictions, borderline personality disorder, and a myriad of other psychological issues.
- We help patients gain a level of acceptance in their lives and take guided actions toward their future with awareness and openness so the patient can engage fully in the present moment.

Level 3: Outpatient Services
At Tri State Addiction Recovery Resources, we offer two different outpatient programs for our patients: Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program and Co-Occurring Disorders Intensive Outpatient Program. We will work with you to determine which program is right for you.
After utilizing our intensive outpatient services, we begin to reduce the number of hours spent in care to allow each individual to start reintegrating back into the world. It’s important a person does not just stop treatment and go straight into recovery after intensive outpatient services, but instead reintegrates slowly by reducing the number of hours spent in treatment and care to ensure they are healthy and stable. The minimum number of hours will continue to decrease.

Level 4: Real life long-term recovery lifestyle with peer support specialists
After ~90-120 days in treatment, a person reaches the point in recovery where they begin to step away from treatment and into real life recovery. It is our goal to support them in this transition to the recovery lifestyle
We do this by offering state certified peer recovery coaching to help with barriers not easily achieved alone, by utilizing traditional recovery models, as well as by encouraging them to continue visiting their therapist and doctors as needed. Since our treatment model is focused on a continuum of long-term health and recovery, it’s important to us to stay closely connected with each client to make sure their transition from treatment to recovery is more seamless than most models allow.
