Trauma-Informed Care and Small Group Sizes
AMFM offers short and long-term residential care in trauma-informed and inclusive environments. With small group sizes, the program allows for meaningful therapeutic interaction and individualized attention. Clients engage in 2–3 one-on-one sessions per week. This approach encourages openness and mutual support while giving medical staff the capacity to closely monitor progress. The program’s gender-separate focus ensures that treatment is delivered in a setting attuned to the experiences and recovery goals of each client.
Focused Psychiatric Support
Clients receive continuous psychiatric care from licensed providers who specialize in complex mental health conditions. The program includes comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, individualized medication management, and weekly sessions with a psychiatrist. Ongoing monitoring ensures that treatment plans are continually adapted to each client’s changing needs. This consistent psychiatric oversight is combined with therapeutic interventions and holistic support.
Restorative Amenities and Environment
AMFM offers residential amenities designed to promote rest and reflection. Properties can include landscaped outdoor spaces, private gyms, and swimming pools. Clients can participate in yoga and meditation sessions. Comfortable living spaces and scenic views create a calm backdrop for treatment. Weekly off-site outings offer recreation and bonding time through fun local activities. Clients are permitted to use personal smartphones and laptops during specified times to stay in touch with outside responsibilities.
Aftercare and Case Management
Structured aftercare planning and case management are provided to help clients transition from residential treatment back to everyday life. Each client works with a case manager to create a personalized discharge plan that can include outpatient therapy, medication follow-up, and community support resources, depending on individual needs. Staff can coordinate with family and local clinicians to help ensure continuity of care. The goal is to maintain progress made during treatment and support long-term stability.
