Our Transitional Mental Health Program Includes
Clients recovering from mental health, behavioral health, substance use, or a variety of complex conditions will receive professional and communal support throughout New Roads’ Transitional Living Program.
While not as intensive as residential treatment, you’ll be able to carefully step down and return to your regular daily routine. At the same time, we’ll help you maintain focus on your mental wellness through continued psychiatric care and personal development.
Here’s what our transitional living program has to offer:
Individual Therapy
One-to-one therapy sessions are foundational at every level of recovery. This is why we continue to prioritize them as you progress with transitional living. When you meet with your therapist, you’ll be in a safe, judgment-free space, where you can share your thoughts and feelings without any fear. We’ll help you address trauma and triggers, strengthen vital coping skills, and discover the confidence and motivation to continue your recovery.
Group Therapy
Along with individual sessions, group therapy is another key pillar in the transitional living program. In your group sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to expand on the skills and lessons you’ve learned in individual therapy, while also interacting with like-minded individuals. Through the guidance of an experienced group counselor, you and your peers have the opportunity to connect over shared experiences and receive mutual support from one another.
Medication Management
Medication management is an important part of many individuals’ recovery and long-term treatment for their mental and behavioral health disorders. New Roads’ staff are available to assist young adults with understanding and maintaining their medication plan. We’ll show you how to monitor for side effects and adjust the dosage as needed. Through medication management support, we aim to help you gain the knowledge necessary so you can independently treat and manage your mental health symptoms.
Case Management
Our staff also includes professional case managers who provide personalized care and coordination for young adults transitioning into independent living. Your case manager will work one-on-one with you to address any personal issues you have, whether it be with family, housing, employment, or finances. Together, we’ll help you develop the skills and understanding needed to stand on your own two feet. Living a confident, independent life is possible with the right support.

Whether with your case manager, therapist, or group therapy participants, New Roads supports our young clients by teaching them practical skills like budgeting, time management, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution. By developing these life skills, mental health program clients at New Roads will learn how to live independently and responsibly.

- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): DBT is a form of therapy developed to help individuals with complex conditions like Borderline Personality Disorder learn important skills like emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal communication. Through DBT, transitional program participants with difficulties controlling overwhelming emotions and destructive behaviors can learn to manage their thoughts and behaviors to improve their relationships.
- Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT): CBT is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that centers on helping individuals understand and adjust unhealthy or distorted thoughts. Mental health professionals help influence clients toward challenging negative emotions and ideas, and help them overcome symptoms of depression, anxiety, and a variety of other conditions. As experts in CBT, young adult therapy, and numerous other mental health services, New Roads Behavioral Health ensures top-notch care.

It’s a type of therapy for individuals who are uncertain or hesitant about treatment, granting them the autonomy to discover their own reasons for change, while also fostering a sense of self-accountability.
