Adult Acute Outpatient
Momentum’s Acute Outpatient program supports adults with persistent, serious mental health conditions. We partner with each individual on their path to recovery.
The Acute Outpatient program serves adults with conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and provides links to services for clients with a co-occurring substance use diagnosis.
We offer integrated mental health services, including assessment, treatment plans, and community services and resources. Your care might include intensive therapy, case management, and medication support.
Our team uses a person-centered approach. This means your care is centered on you as a whole person, including your strengths, goals, culture, values, and overall health. We focus on building hope, wellness, and resiliency.
Your care team may help you:
- Access medical care
- Build rehabilitation and coping skills to manage symptoms
- Practice daily living skills, such as conflict resolution and time management
- Get treatment for substance use, if needed
- Connect with housing, employment, and education, so you can rejoin the community
We also offer peer and parent support services, as well as self-help and family support groups.

Outcome
Our programs are for clients who have severe mental health conditions and would benefit from an intensive service program. Our goal is to help you foster a personal network of support, so you can transition away from needing professional support. Our staff will motivate you from the start to prepare you to step down to a lower level of care in your recovery so you can live independently in the community.
