Virtual Young Adult Mental Health & Substance Use Program
Ages 18+
When to Refer to Virtual Schedule an Appointment
Program Overview
Compass Virtual’s Mental Health & Substance Use Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) Programs for individuals ages 18+ support those struggling with concurrent mental health symptoms and substance use. The evidence-based curriculum uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and motivational interviewing (MI) to help individuals achieve their unique treatment goals. Compass uses a variety of treatment approaches including harm reduction, abstinence, and medication-assisted treatments (Suboxone, Vivitrol, Naltrexone) based on an individual’s treatment needs and concurrent mental health symptoms. Our goal is to help individuals understand the relationship between their mental health and substance use.
Individuals in this program participate in regular meetings with a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner 1-3x weekly as appropriate, as well as weekly sessions with a master’s level clinician and/or Certified Alcohol and other Drug Counselor (CADC). Weekly family therapy sessions with a parent, spouse, or identified support person are strongly encouraged. Urine drug screen monitoring is a required part of this program based on treatment team recommendations.
Compass’s Virtual MHSU Program is offered during both daytime and evening PHP and IOP hours.
