Adult Day Treatment (ADT)
Nystrom & Associates Adult Day Treatment (ADT) program offers an intensive group therapy experience for clients to help reduce the effects of mental illness. ADT also provides skills training to empower clients to live in the community independently. Patients will have the opportunity to connect with peers who can relate to their mental health concerns in a supportive environment.
Patients are encouraged to continue receiving treatment from their existing providers, such as individual therapists, psychiatrists, and ARMHS workers while they are in Adult Day Treatment.

- Foster healthy coping skills to enhance the quality of life.
Testimonials
I have gotten so much out of the class! I am so happy that I agreed to start ADT. I feel ready to go after what my goals are and know what to do.
This program is very well designed to help me build self-confidence and have skills and awareness to cope with what comes along. I started out unable to get off my couch and now I enjoy my day with the world…I still have lots of room to grow, but this program has made me believe I’m going to be okay.
My needs were met, even my needs to not have the room so bright. This is the best treatment program I’ve been through.
