Effective Day Programs for Mental Health

Sutter Center for Psychiatry offers multiple types of outpatient programs with more intensity and frequency than typical outpatient therapy. Our voluntary programs follow a recovery model approach to care and are available to adolescents (age 13 to 17) and adults (age 18 and older).

Intensive Outpatient Services provided by Sutter Center for Psychiatry help empower individuals to identify and build on their strengths, encouraging people to develop a better understanding of their current symptoms and stressors. Both Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) skills are provided.

Our services are designed to target symptoms that may be impacting day-to-day life, primarily through interventions and group therapy.

Our services can assist with symptom reduction in patients with anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and co-occuring disorders (both substance abuse and mental health needs).

Need More Intensive Treatment?

For some people with severe mental health issues, an inpatient hospital stay is the best option for treatment. In a safe and secure facility, our staff can help you get started with effective treatment and eventually step down to a less-intensive outpatient program.

Alcohol Epidemiology Research

Alcohol affects us in many ways – both helpful and harmful. Just a glass a day can help prevent type 2 diabetes, heart disease and gallstones. Much more can cause cancer, liver and kidney disease, and brain damage. Research is key to understanding alcohol’s affect on our bodies, families and society.
