Will I See a Psychiatrist in Outpatient Programming?

Everyone who seeks mental health and substance use treatment at Signature receives care that is personalized for them. If you require medication management services, you may see a psychiatrist once a week in our partial hospitalization program (PHP) and once a month in our intensive outpatient program (IOP).

Will I Be Able to Work & Attend Outpatient Services?

Everyone’s experience is different, but most people can go to work and take part in one of our outpatient programs at the same time. We offer many outpatient programming options to accommodate a variety of schedules.

Do You Offer Individual Therapy?

Our outpatient programming primarily focuses on group therapy, but we do integrate individual and family sessions depending on each person’s specific needs. We also offer referrals for individual therapists and strongly encourage these services for aftercare.
