Community project funding/congressionally directed spending - construction - upon completion of the project, patients from shakopee, scott county, and minnesota will have access to several new or expanded mental health and addiction treatment services. This includes: • adult partial hospitalization program. This program will serve adults and allow individuals to sleep at home and attend day programs at the new facility for 6 hours per day. Participants will be admitted by a psychiatrist, receive psychiatric nursing care, and take part in group and individual therapy. The average length of treatment is 15 days. This setting is often used as a diversion from an inpatient psychiatric stay, and a way to assist individuals gradually returning to the community following an inpatient stay. • adult intensive outpatient mental health program. Adults often step down from the partial hospitalization program into this level of care. Services are provided 3 days a week, 3 hours a day over a 2 to 6 month period. The treatment is provided in both individual and group therapy settings. • adult intensive outpatient addiction services. This program is licensed by the state of minnesota to provide intensive outpatient addiction treatment. This program spans 3 to 6 months and treats both mental illness and addiction using a dual-diagnosis approach. The average length of stay in this program is 3 months, at about 9 hours per week. The goal and ultimate benefit of this project is to address the rapidly increasing demand for mental health and addiction services facing our communities. We are confident that this project will provide critical support for our patients, law enforcement partners and staff by creating a new, central access point for care and treatment.
