Home-based

For clients who are not in need of the residence, structure, and intensity of the therapeutic household Windhorse offers a range of home-based services. The goal is to support a person at home as she or he grows in wellness and independence. A home-based team can support a person and his or family to:

• Make a successful transition to independent living
• Avoid a possible residential placement
• Stay in college locally during periods of difficulty as a student
• Build recovery skills while living at home and being in the community
• Work towards individual life goals that have been challenging, such as finding or keeping employment, making friends, managing affairs, or developing healthy habits.

Home-based teams vary in size and intensity depending on what is needed. Some clients have daily interaction, others once per week or less. A team can be as small as a single clinical mentor, or as large as a full multidisciplinary team. Typically, home-based teams include a team leader, a psychotherapist, and a nurse (with a psychiatrist consulting monthly), and sessions or shifts take place twice or three times per week. Please call Eric at 413-586-0207 x333 to learn more about admissions.

All programs include full membership in the Windhorse therapeutic community.
