    The goal of Way Station's Residential Rehabilitation Program is to facilitate maximum health, community integration, and independence for individuals with serious mental illness and other co-occurring conditions in the least restrictive environment possible by providing safe and affordable housing and the services and supports necessary to meet the needs of the individuals served.

    In addition to room and board, the Residential Rehabilitation Program provides the following services and supports:

• Assessment of needs and individualized service planning;
• Assistance with daily living needs;
• Medication monitoring;
• Money Management;
• Supportive counseling;
• Personal care skills training;
• Interpersonal and communication skills training;
• Social and leisure skills training and planning;
• Activities that support cultural and spiritual interests;
• Resource management; and
• Crisis intervention.

The Program offers a continuum of care that ranges from 24 hours per day, seven days per week of staff coverage to daily or weekly home visits determined by each resident's needs. All residents have access to staff via a 24-hour on-call system. The Program is one of choice and residents are free to come and leave the residences at will and unsupervised. Residents are expected to abide by Program guidelines for safety purposes.

The Program strives to meet the special needs of residents with mental illness and co-occurring conditions and has dedicated several housing units to residents with the following needs:

• Transition age youth, ages 18-24;
• Serious medical conditions, including senior adults;
• Co-occurring substance abuse and addiction disorders; and
• Co-occurring developmental disabilities.
