Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services

Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) are designed to support adults with serious mental health conditions in developing the skills they need to live independently, manage their symptoms, and thrive in their communities. These services are personalized to each individual’s goals and include skill-building in daily living, interventions to prevent crises, and education to promote proper medication use. Through ARMHS, individuals gain the tools and support necessary for long-term recovery and greater self-sufficiency.

1. Basic Living and Social Skills

This service focuses on building the day-to-day skills adults need to live independently and thrive in their communities. Individuals receive support in areas such as communication, budgeting, shopping, cooking, nutrition, and household management. Additional guidance is provided in symptom management, medication monitoring, transportation use, and relapse prevention. These skills empower individuals to manage their mental health, build healthy routines, and maintain stable housing and employment as they transition to more independent living.

2. Community Intervention

Community Intervention services aim to reduce the need for hospitalization or institutional care by supporting individuals through challenges that could disrupt their living situation. These services involve collaboration with agencies, employers, landlords, or family members—sometimes without the individual present—to address issues and coordinate solutions that help maintain community stability and prevent crises.

3. Medication Education

Delivered by a registered nurse, Medication Education helps individuals and their families understand the role of medications in managing mental illness. This includes education on symptoms, potential side effects, and how to properly follow a prescribed medication regimen. Closely coordinated with ongoing medication management, this service ensures individuals are equipped to make informed decisions about their treatment and maintain consistency in their care.
