Residents of the Apartment Treatment Program generally require less staff support than in the Supervised Program. Many of our Apartment Treatment residents lived in the Supervised Program and have gained the skills needed for the Apartment Treatment Program.
Staff visits vary depending on the needs of residents. Usually, counselors visit residents 3- 5 times per week. However, visits can be increased should residents need additional support. All residents have 24 -hour telephone access to staff in the event of an emergency.
The Apartment Treatment program provides residents with the opportunity to live independently, yet still have the benefit of frequent staff support. Residents work on areas needed for independent living such as, symptom and medication management, accessing community resources, and budgeting.
The Way Back's Apartment Treatment locations are situated throughout Suffolk County, Long Island, NY. All provide easy access to public transportation, stores, recreational facilities, and services. All apartments are private homes, which provide individual bedrooms to residents.
