OMHC programs seek to achieve the following specific objectives: To improve mood and affect in daily living; To improve social, familial, and social adjustment and integration; To reduce the need for a higher level of care.
Service treatment modalities:
One of the most important considerations when implementing an evidence-based practice is fidelity (sometimes called adherence or integrity) to the original approach. Preserving the components that made the original practice effective can directly impact the success of desired outcomes. We maintain fidelity to treatment modalities in Evidence-Based Trauma Informed Practice.
Some modalities include:
​
-
CBT

An interdisciplinary approach to person centered treatment is provided by a team of licensed professionals and trained para-professions. Our team includes Licensed Professional Counselors, licensed social workers, registered nurses, licensed psychologists, and a psychiatric nurse practitioner. The program is supported by a full-time medical director, full time clinical supervisors, and several administrative and support staff. The department has dedicated PRN resources that are utilized to cover for volume increases, staff time off, or other unforeseen circumstances.
Program staffing levels are determined by provider template schedules. Schedules for each licensed provider include an average of 6 clinical appointments/day. Assigned groups are addressed in staff schedules. Referral volumes and scheduling determine if additional staffing arrangements should be made. Committed program PRN resources are utilized to limit wait times when referral volumes fluctuate and to accommodate needs for scheduling appointment times.
