Benefits of Residential Treatment
Residential care works.
Mental health recovery in a residential setting; Eagles Nest Transitional Living Program is a nonprofit mental health residential community dedicated to the recovery of adults with serious and persistent mental illness such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety disorder.
With a rehabilitative approach, our mental health residential setting provides a warm and comfortable home where residents can stabilize, learn to manage their illness, and live a better life. Distinguishing itself from other mental health residential facilities, Eagles Nest Transitional Living program is not a psychiatric treatment program, but rather a mental health residential living program focused on rebuilding one’s life in the community.
- Every resident is seen as a unique individual with strengths and weaknesses (like the rest of us), and is accepted and appreciated for who they are, rather than being viewed as a “case” or a “patient.”
- Growth occurs in small steps, the product of individualized goals. A major goal of all residential facilities is to develop a wide range of habits of self-care, from personal hygiene and taking meds to resting and asking for help.
- A high level of supportive structure is built into daily life. All residential facilities help residents establish normal, stabilizing routines for day and night.
- Residents take responsibility for their behavior since it affects others.
- Residents contribute to the community in some way, which boosts self-esteem.
- Residents support one another, forming relationships.
- Quality of life is stressed, which includes meaningful activity and nurturing relationships.
Taken together and working synergistically, these practices create a powerful therapeutic community – a healing environment that only exists in a residential setting.
