Acute residential care at Balsam House offers full psychiatric evaluation and treatment in a safe, domestic-style environment with 24-hour staffing and treatment by psychiatrists, nurses and psychotherapists.
Residential care	$575 a day

Intensive outpatient care is offered to clients who are at risk of relapse with standard outpatient treatment. Our 7-day-a-week intensive services include: frequent contact with the psychiatrist and therapist, daily medication monitoring, individual and group therapy, vocational and social rehabilitation through our psychosocial clubhouse and ongoing treatment planning involving the full outpatient team.
Intensive outpatient care	$3,550 a month

Support and Outreach is a less intensive program of individualized outpatient treatment for clients who do not require the most intensive level of outpatient care to maintain stability. The services include all those offered under intensive outpatient care, but for up to 3 days a week rather than 7 days.
Support and Outreach	$2,350 a month

The charges for residential and intensive outpatient care and Support and Outreach listed above include psychiatrists’ charges and all other services except laboratory tests, medications and non-psychiatric medical evaluation and treatment. These “bundled” service charges offer a substantial savings over the usual cost if they were charged at a “per contact” rate for each individual service. Contact with the psychiatrist who is leading the treatment team is frequent, but is included in the overall fee for the package of services.

All clients receive a full psychiatric assessment including psychiatric diagnosis and assessment of physical health, substance use, and social and vocational functioning. Initial psychiatric assessment is included at no charge for clients in residential treatment. Outpatient psychiatric assessment is charged at a rate of $285 an hour.

Transitional-living accommodation is available for clients who are progressing from residential care to independent living. We provide room and board in a safe and healthy living environment in 3-bedroom houses in Boulder; oversight by live-in aides; community organizers who help the residents plan activities; group shopping, cooking and dining and opportunities to learn household management skills. Note that this accommodation fee is in addition to outpatient treatment charges.
Transitional-living care	$130 a day

Standard outpatient care involves office-based services for clients who have achieved stability and optimal functioning. Individual and group therapy includes cognitive-behavioral approaches and substance abuse counseling.
Standard outpatient care
Psychiatrist	$285 an hour or $160 a half-hour
Therapist	$140 an hour or $85 a half-hour
Group Therapy	$85 each group session

We bill the client or family in advance each month for all services, except standard outpatient care which is billed at the end of the month. We provide detailed invoices and completed insurance forms to assist the client or family in obtaining reimbursement from their health insurance plan.

We have every reason to be positive about the future fo r people with mental illness.

In the past decade, we have seen many community organizations, professional groups, governmental bodies and commercial entities join the columns fighting the stigma of mental illness, laying siege to one of the last bastions of prejudice and discrimination to be found in the more enlightened societies. A dramatic increase in awareness of this type is an essential first step in changing attitudes and behavior towards any marginalized group.

More professionals and policy makers are recognizing that the social exclusion of people with mental illness breeds a form of self-stigmatization among those with mental illness that impedes recovery.

We have developed more effective methods for minimizing symptoms of psychosis, for enhancing functioning and for aiding integration into the community.

We now know that work helps people recover from serious mental illness. Better still, we have developed effective ways for getting people with mental illness back to work.

We understand, moreover, that consumer involvement and empowerment are of crucial importance in promoting recovery from mental illness, and we are making steps to ensure that these elements are built into our treatment and rehabilitation programmes.
