Day Treatment and Aftercare

Day Treatment Program
Patients in the Day Treatment Program live independently in their own apartments and homes in the local community while maintaining their treatment at Riggs. They sustain formal structured activities outside of Riggs, attending school, work, or volunteering. Initially a seven-day-per-week program, over time patients taper their days of involvement, and thus their participation in Riggs group offerings, while continuing in four-times-weekly intensive individual psychotherapy.

Aftercare Program
This program is a transitional phase for patients ending their treatment at Riggs. Patients in the Aftercare Program continue to receive individual treatment services, including four-times-weekly psychotherapy, but no longer participate in other programs.
