Residential Care Services

ASC offers two residential treatment service facilities, ASC-LA and The ASC-Riverside Ranch. Our services are tailored to the individual needs of each individual, guided by best practice concepts including pull person care, and self-determination. This continuum of care supports each client throughout his or her journey from mental illness to wellness. Our guiding principle is that with proper client-specific support, each-individual has the potential for development and an improved quality of life.

Residential service programming goals may include:

 

  • Developing a healthy daily routine.
  • Developing awareness of mental health diagnosis and associated symptoms.
  • Developing coping skills to better manage illness and symptoms
  • Active participation and awareness of pharmacotherapy, in a language accessible to each individual.
  • Developing healthy and happy social skills.
  • Understanding and developing system management opportunities.
  • Accessible substance abuse, treatment, awareness and education.
  • Making sure that each day affords the opportunity for a happy and fulfilling life to include healthy hobbies, and recreational activities.
  • Money management.
  • Transportation skills and travel.
  • Independent living skills.
  • Use of various assistive technologies.
  • Supported education.

 

Our services benefit persons with a history of severe and persistent mental illness symptoms of a refractory nature. As a result, these persons may have difficulty maintaining their home, keeping appointments and maintaining basic needs such as safety, self protection, employment and medical care. Our services also assist those suffering from substance abuse disorders coupled with mental illness. We work collaboratively with our clients, as well as their families and friends, because we’re not just about recovery, but also about the relationships formed along the way.

ASC’s intensive programs reduced costly and restrictive hospitalization by at least 50% compared to other programs. In fact, ASC clients have historically had less than one hospital day per year!

 

ASC’s care professionals are experts in pharmacology – the study of how medications affect a person’s system. They work closely with every client to design an appropriate course of medication management to ensure the best quality of life.
