Day Treatment and Aftercare

Day Treatment Program
This program provides groups, activities and a supportive interpersonal network for patients who live independently in the local community while maintaining their treatment at Riggs.  Patients in Day Treatment are encouraged to volunteer, attend school, or work.  Over time, they taper their days of involvement and participation in Therapeutic Community Offerings.  This results in a lesser cost per day, while still continuing in four-times-weekly individual psychotherapy.

Aftercare Program
A transitional phase for patients ending their treatment at Riggs, these patients continue to receive individual treatment services but no longer participate in other programs.
