Holiday Short-Term Option at Lightfully Behavioral Health
The holidays can be a stressful time for many, with increased social obligations, financial pressures, and emotional triggers. Lightfully’s Holiday Short-Term Option provides targeted support to help you navigate this challenging season.
At Lightfully Behavioral Health, we want to make sure that everyone can gain the benefits of effective mental health care by clinical experts, even if they only have a brief time to spend getting the care they need. For that reason, we offer a short-term mental health care option called our Holiday Short-Term Option.
Completing the Holiday Short-Term Option can give you momentum and clarity heading into the new year, allowing you to make meaningful mental health resolutions and start fresh.
An Introduction to Lightfully’s Holiday Short-Term Option
Lightfully’s Holiday Short-Term Option is just that – a short-term mental health care option. Each client receives evidence-based mental health care for at least two weeks, but it’s possible for the duration to be extended if you wish.
If you’re already in outpatient treatment, the Holiday Short-Term Option can supplement your regular therapy to provide extra reinforcement and during the holidays. The goal of Lightfully’s Holiday Short-Term Option is to provide you with the personalized support that you need at any point in your mental health journey, whether you need a jumpstart or a boost of support during the holidays to bolster your current outpatient therapy.
Our Holiday Short-Term Option is simply a short-term option for all 4 of Lightfully’s levels of care, including Residential Treatment Centers (RTC), the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and vIOP.
It consists primarily of group sessions as well as individual sessions so that you’re able to experience different dynamics with our licensed, clinical experts. There are also family sessions every other week.
With a 2-week minimum duration, the Holiday Short-Term Option is designed to fit within the typical holiday break, making it easier to prioritize your mental health without major disruptions to your usual routine.
What Lightfully’s Holiday Short Term Option Looks Like at Each Level of Care
We offer the Holiday Short-Term Option at all four levels of care because we want to ensure that you can experience the support you need at this specific time in your life. Whether you’ve recently transitioned from inpatient treatment due to a mental health crisis, or you’re trying to manage your mental health disorder symptoms during a brief break in your busy life, our Holiday Short-Term Option can help.
At the RTC level of care, our Holiday Short-Term Option involves a two-week stay in a beautiful residential home where you’ll have three individual sessions with an experienced primary therapist, bi-weekly family sessions, and one session with our staff psychiatrist every week. In addition, you’ll take part in up to five daily group sessions led by trained clinicians.
At the PHP level, our Holiday Short-Term Option includes five group sessions every day, as well as two one-on-one sessions per week. The biweekly family sessions occur at all levels.
At the IOP level of care, we recommend our Holiday Short-Term Option as a boost to your outpatient therapy activity to ensure that you’re receiving comprehensive support. It takes place five days a week with three group sessions per day, along with the biweekly family sessions.
And at the Virtual IOP level of care, you’ll receive the same support and treatment – but from anywhere using a wifi-connected device.
