Adult Residential Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment

During the first 10 days of the patient’s stay in Sibcy House adult residential programs an extensive array of evaluations, assessments, and testing instruments are identified based on the patient’s presenting issues. Through this period the patient meets with a range of clinical professionals from the multidisciplinary treatment team in order to complete the evaluation and assessment process.

Upon completion of the diagnostic workups the clinical team reviews the information gathered and develops clinical recommendations that will be presented to the patient.

Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT)

Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a newer type of DBT developed by Dr. Thomas R. Lynch for disorders of emotional over-control. Though self-control is often highly prized and rewarded by our society, too much self-control can create a host of difficulties, including social isolation and poor interpersonal relationships.

RO-DBT is designed to focus on building flexible responding, authentic emotional expression, self-inquiry, and ability to manage unexpected or challenging feedback. The primary goals of RO-DBT include improving social signaling, enhancing receptivity and openness, and increasing interpersonal connection.

Who can benefit from RO-DBT

RO-DBT can help individuals with excessive emotional over-control that is contributing to negative outcomes such as social isolation or poor interpersonal functioning. DSM-5 diagnostic categories that have been shown to benefit from RO-DBT include Chronic Depression, Treatment-Resistant Anxiety Disorders, Anorexia Nervosa, Avoidant, Paranoid, and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorders, and Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Substance Use Disorder, Internet Addiction and/or Secondary Eating Disorder Consultation

For many Sibcy House patients, specialty consultations for substance abuse, internet addiction or secondary eating disorders may be helpful, if an issue is suspected. In addition to working with their primary therapist multiple times per week, patients with substance use disorder, internet addiction or a secondary eating disorder, will have access to specialists, as needed.

Continuing Treatment with an Established Expert Team

At the conclusion of their initial stay in the adult residential program, patients may often benefit from ongoing treatment, as recommended by the treatment team. Many patients choose to extend their care at Sibcy House in order to take advantage of its robust therapeutic environment, receiving treatment from the same team of experts that they worked with during the completion of their comprehensive diagnostic assessment. Programming at Sibcy House supports stays for as long as 90 days for patients continuing to follow their treatment plan. An extended stay increases the likelihood that the patient can make substantial improvement in symptoms and reduce the likelihood of relapse or readmission, or in some cases, the need to go to another residential facility upon discharge.
