The Rehabilitation Services Division addresses the needs of clients whose psychiatric disability requires more intensive intervention than can be provided in a weekly counseling session. Individuals age l8 and over who have a history of psychiatric hospitalizations or who are at risk of being hospitalized participate in flexible, day-long (9am - 3pm) programs of therapeutic group activities and individual consultations.

Comprehensive Behavioral Healthcare, Inc. views each Rehabilitation Service client as a unique individual and works closely with him or her to develop a schedule which addresses specific treatment goals. For some, this may mean preparing for competitive employment and maintaining their own apartment; for others, it may mean returning to school, working at a volunteer job and getting along better with family members. The goal of Rehabilitation Services is to reduce the number and length of our clients' psychiatric hospitalizations and enhance their quality of life in the community.

Adult Partial Care

Each day, nearly 100 Adult Partial Care clients participate in a wide range of therapeutic groups and activities at our facility in Hackensack. Group therapy, substance abuse counseling, art therapy, stress management training, medication education, and monitoring as well as life skills training in budgeting, healthcare, cooking and shopping, and vocational awareness workshops make up a busy and productive day.

When a client enters the Adult Partial Care Program, a thorough psychiatric evaluation and a social work assessment are conducted, and relevant information is obtained from family members and the records of previous treatment. Using this extensive background history, Comprehensive Behavioral Healthcare, Inc. staff works with the client to design a treatment plan and daily schedule of activities. Comprehensive Behavioral Healthcare, Inc.'s multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, rehabilitation counselors and mental health workers ensures that each client benefits from a comprehensive and individualized therapeutic experience.

Valley Brook Center

Older adults (age 60 and up) experiencing psychiatric disabilities and medical problems related to aging benefit from participating in our specialized geriatric partial care program known as Valley Brook Center in Lyndhurst. This unique service addresses the changing needs of the aging client. This is accomplished by providing increased attention to chronic health problems, assistance in coordinating medications and treatments for both physical and psychiatric conditions, and age-appropriate social and recreational activities.

Valley Brook Center's counselors provide a wide variety of therapeutic services and social activities designed to help the older client to maintain as high a level of independence as possible. Programming is individualized, providing each client with activities that are appropriate to his or her emotional cognitive and physical level of functioning. Our staff includes a clinical nurse specialist, a licensed social worker, an activities therapist, mental health workers, and a geriatric psychiatrist, all of whom have extensive training and experience in meeting the special needs of older adults.

Participants in both the Adult Partial Care and the Valley Brook Center enjoy a nutritionally balanced lunch daily. Transportation is also provided if needed.
