Experienced counselors at VBH use evidence-based tools to assist clients with managing behavioral health concerns. Counselors work individually with clients and families to build treatment plans and identify tools to help clients overcome issues and restore them to their best selves. Outpatient counseling is available at all VBH locations and via phone appointments.
Care Management
Care Management is a specialty service at VBH to assist individuals and families coping with serious mental illness. For many people, Care Management is a lifeline between resources in the community, medical care, and mental health care. Care managers monitor and encourage client progress by regularly assessing the integrated treatment plan and reducing social barriers. Care Managers at VBH are eager to assist clients by coordinating appointments, advocating for individuals and families, and facilitating client access to resources such as food banks, clothing, and transportation. VBH has a dedicated team of care managers ready to meet clients with no appointments necessary. Care Management is available at all VBH locations for those who qualify.
Psychiatric Services and Medication Management
Psychiatric evaluation and medication management can be vital to the recovery process. Medical professionals trained to treat mental health conditions and co-occurring disorders are essential to the treatment team at VBH. Psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and nurses provide services throughout VBH’s region. Clients receiving medication management have assigned med providers they meet with regularly for medication refills and medication-related questions. VBH also uses a platform of backup med providers called med open access if established providers are unavailable to ensure prompt and timely services for clients.
