Enhanced Services
Pacific Ridge Behavioral Health provides tailored Enhanced Services designed to support individuals who require a higher level of care than standard outpatient therapy—but not full residential placement. Enhanced Services bridge that gap, offering additional structure, supervision, and therapeutic support in a flexible format.
Transition Planning
As clients progress, careful discharge planning begins:
● Step-down into enhanced services or outpatient care
● Aftercare coordination (therapy, support groups, housing, employment)
● Relapse prevention and maintenance plans
Rapid stabilization of acute symptoms
● Restoration of safety, self-regulation, and coping
● Rehabilitation of daily functioning, social and life skills
● Prepare for transition back to less restrictive levels of care
● Reduce future crisis or hospitalization risks
Goals & Outcomes
What Are Enhanced Services?
Enhanced Services include intensive wraparound supports beyond traditional therapy. These may include:
More frequent contact and monitoring
multiple weekly therapy sessions, check-ins, or progress reviews
Care coordination and case management
linking patients with community supports, coordinating across providers
Targeted therapeutic supports
trauma-informed care, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills groups, family therapy, psychoeducation
Medication support or monitoring
closer oversight from psychiatric providers, adherence support
Environmental or safety planning
enhanced risk assessment, crisis planning, possibly home-based or partial day support These services are intended for individuals whose needs exceed what standard outpatient alone can safely manage, yet who do not require full 24/7 residential care.
Goals & Outcomes
At Pacific Ridge Behavioral Health, Enhanced Services aim to:
01
Stabilize symptoms and reduce crisis events
02
Promote continuity and smooth transitions in care
03
Strengthen coping skills, resilience, and self-management
04
Prevent rehospitalization or regression
05
Enhance quality of life and support functional recovery
Intensive Residential
Treatment
Pacific Ridge Behavioral Health’s Intensive Residential Treatment programs offer structured, 24/7 therapeutic environments for individuals whose conditions require continuous supervision, immersive care, and environmental containment. This is a high-intensity level of care when outpatient or enhanced support is insufficient for safety or stability.
What Is Intensive Residential Treatment?
In an Intensive Residential program:
-
Clients live on-site for a defined duration, receiving around-the-clock nursing and clinical support
-
The environment is therapeutic, safe, and designed to promote healing (often with private or semi-private rooms, communal spaces, nature access)
-
Treatment is immersive: every day is organized around clinical programming, restorative activities, peer support, and therapeutic engagement
-
There is a strong emphasis on structure, routine, safety, and relapses prevention
Intensive Residential Treatment is more than “inpatient hospitalization” — it provides a less acute but sustained therapeutic setting with time for deeper work, stabilization, and recovery.
Who Needs Intensive
Residential Treatment?
This level is indicated when:
Symptoms (e.g. mood instability, suicidality, severe self-harm behaviors, psychosis, substance use escalation) remain high risk
Outpatient or enhanced supports are insufficient to maintain safety
The individual needs a protected, consistent environment to interrupt destructive patterns
Multiple domains are affected (e.g. relationships, work, self-care) such that immersive rehabilitation is required
Program Structure & Therapeutic Focus
Daily Schedule A typical day includes a mix of:
Morning check-ins / group meetings
Individual therapy / psychiatric care
Skills groups (DBT, CBT, emotion regulation, relapse prevention)
Expressive therapy (art, music, movement)
Community or nature-based healing activities
Evening reflection, peer support, relapse prevention
Clinical Intensity & Staffing
Licensed clinicians, psychiatrists, nurses, and trained support staff on-site around the clock
Frequent (often daily) clinical review or team case reviews
Safety protocols, risk management, milieu therapy
Intensive Behavioral Health Treatment (IBHT)
Pacific Ridge Behavioral Health’s Intensive Behavioral Health Treatment (IBHT) represents a robust, high-support outpatient or partial hospital–level model. It lies between Enhanced Services and full residential care. IBHT is for individuals who are well enough not to reside in treatment full-time, but who need substantial, integrated therapeutic support and structure.
What Is IBHT?
IBHT is characterized by:
-
A full schedule of therapeutic programming (individual, group, family) ● Daily contact and oversight
-
Integration across modalities (psychiatry, therapy, case management, medication)
-
More intensively structured days (often like a full “program day”)
-
The possibility of longer hours (partial hospitalization, extended outpatient)
Unlike Enhanced Services, IBHT is more immersive and demands higher commitment and frequency; unlike full residential, IBHT allows clients to live off-site.
Who Is Appropriate
for IBHT?
IBHT is suited to individuals who:
-
Require daily therapeutic structure but do not require 24/7 supervision
-
Are stepping down from residential to less restrictive care
-
Need concentrated support during high-stress transitions
-
Have co-occurring disorders needing integrated care
-
Benefit from a mix of therapy, medication monitoring, and support services
IBHT settings sometimes operate as Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) or Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), depending on hours and structure. The goal is to offer intensive care while preserving the ability to live in one’s own environment.
Goals & Outcomes
At Pacific Ridge Behavioral Health, Enhanced Services aim to:
01
Stabilize symptoms with more intensive regimen
02
Strengthen life skills, coping, resilience
03
Enable transition down to less intensive outpatient levels
04
Reduce risk of relapse or crisis
05
Maintain community integration (work, school, relationships)
