Adult Outpatient

Day Support Program
The Day Support Program at the United Summit Center is committed to providing a supportive, flexible treatment program for individuals living with chronic mental illness, whose quality of life and level of functioning would be negatively impacted without structured, on-going skill maintenance and/or enhancement activities.

Treatment services focus on critical skills essential to maintain placement in the community, including understanding mental illness, symptom management, stress reduction, coping skills, and daily living skills including health education, meal preparation, personal hygiene, utilization of community resources, problem solving, interpersonal relationship skills, communication, interaction with strangers, and social skill development and competence.

Day Support services are provided in a group setting and tailored to each individual's potential and interests to meet their own specific needs and future plans.

Assertive Community Treatment(ACT) Program
The Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Program through the United Summit Center is West Virginia's oldest ACT Program serving Harrison, Marion, and Lewis County. ACT has been referred to as a "hospital without walls" due to its therapeutic and restorative nature outside of a controlled environment. The program serves individuals with chronic and severe mental illness in a community setting. ACT strives to preserve the placement of individuals in the community and keep them out of a psychiatric hospital. Services are more intense than typical outpatient behavioral health services.

Child Outpatient

Child and Adolescent Clinical Liaison Services
What can a Clinical Liaison do for you?
Child and Adolescent Clinical Liaison Services is a grant-funded support program for children and families throughout West Virginia with mental health issues in need of services within their community. In addition, the Liaison assesses the mental health needs of children currently in DHHR custody and placed out-of-state. By conducting these clinical reviews, the Liaison is able to ensure all mental health needs are being met or if in-state placement would better suit the child's needs.

SCHOOL-BASED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
This program is designed to give students the opportunity to speak with a behavioral health professional in the familiarity of their school environment through group and individual meetings during the school-day. As part of the meetings, students will participate in various activities and discussions in order to identify emotional disturbances and challenging behaviors that interfere with their social, emotional, and academic development. With group and individual therapy, children will be able to recognize different thoughts and feelings and how they influence their behaviors and learn to express themselves appropriately.

Children's Crisis Stabilization Unit
