The ADAPT Program is an intense, time-limited day program for adults. We help our consumers manage severe behaviors so that they can make better use of available community resources and live and work in the community with greater independence. ADAPT offers consumers these services:

• Skills assessment
• Individualized treatment planning
• A structured day treatment program
• Aftercare services, including 30-day transitional community support

We serve adults, ages 18 and over, diagnosed with severe behavior problems or with co-occurring mental illness and one or more of the following:

• Mental retardation
• Mild autism or other mild pervasive developmental disorder such as PDD-NOS.

The combination of mental illness and developmental disabilities must be sufficiently severe to cause interference with the consumer’s ability to participate in mainstream activities in the community such as education and employment.

Consumers provide their own transportation. Consumers with special needs for transportation should contact their Service Coordinators to find out if they are eligible for transportation assistance.

A financial assessment determines whether co-payments apply and/or if MHMRA is a part of your Insurance Provider Network. Consumers will need spending money for community rehearsal outings.

Hours of operation are Monday through Friday 8:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. Our goal is to assist in developing coping and self management skills in order to maintain stable behavior in various community settings. One of the most important components of ADAPT is aftercare planning. The goals of aftercare planning are to help our consumers:

• Make a successful the transition from ADAPT to community-based services
• Function successfully in a community-based setting
• Reduce the likelihood of psychiatric hospitalization
