Sibcy House
Adult Residential Programs for Mental Health and Addiction
Comprehensive Assessment & Residential Treatment
At Sibcy House, part of Lindner Center of Hope, treatment begins differently. Many people arrive here after trying other programs and still feel unseen, unclear, or uncertain about the path forward. That’s why everything here starts with finding real clarity.
Our residential program combines a comprehensive diagnostic assessment, a structured therapeutic foundation, and individualized treatment pathways, so care isn’t just personalized in name. It’s built around who you are, what you’re navigating, and where you want to go.
Located on 54 wooded acres in Mason, Ohio, Sibcy House serves adults age 18 and older with complex, co-occurring mental health and addiction presentations.
How Treatment Works
The Foundational Framework
Every treatment journey at Sibcy House begins with an assessment and stabilization period. This early phase is how we get to know you: your story, how your symptoms interact, and which approaches are most likely to support your goals.
From there, you move into the Foundations Program: a structured set of groups and individual work designed to build stability, insight, and readiness for deeper, individualized therapeutic work.
You’ll receive a personalized schedule typically around 7–10 days into your stay, once your initial assessment and stabilization period are complete. Clinical groups run Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM.
What Foundations Builds
The Foundations Program is designed to create a steadier starting point before treatment becomes more specialized.
Residential Pathways
As your needs become more clearly defined, your treatment team may recommend transitioning into one or more specialized Residential Pathways. These build directly on your foundation and focus on the areas where you need the most support.
Mood Stability
Emotional patterns, consistency, structured daily routines, and values-guided coping strategies
Trauma Recovery
Safety and stabilization, nervous system regulation, readiness for deeper trauma work
Anxiety & OCD
Two tracks: one focused on gradually facing fears and reducing rituals and compulsions, and a general track for broader anxiety
Mania Pathway
Mood stabilization, relapse prevention, structured daily routines, and values-guided coping strategies
Psychosis Pathway
Understanding symptoms, building coping skills, supporting daily functioning
Addiction Recovery
Relapse prevention, values-based recovery, closed group setting
Overcontrol Personality Pathway
RO-DBT, openness, flexibility, authentic social connection
Undercontrol Personality Pathway
DBT, emotion regulation, impulse control, interpersonal effectiveness
Some people continue in Foundations longer when stabilizing and building structure are the primary goals, and that’s entirely appropriate. Your care is paced to fit you. Programming supports stays of up to 90 days for patients continuing to follow their treatment plan.
Your Treatment Team
Your care is supported by a dedicated multidisciplinary team who collaborate daily.
Attending Provider
Oversees your psychiatric care, including medication management and ongoing monitoring.
Therapist
Provides individual therapy, helps you set and work toward your treatment goals, and serves as the primary point of contact for your family.
Care Coordinator
Works with you, your family, and your treatment team to plan for discharge and coordinate next steps in your care.
Behavioral Health Coaches
Teach, support, and help you practice skills that strengthen your treatment progress, including between sessions and during daily life on the unit.
The unit is staffed 24/7 by Mental Health Specialists and Registered Nurses.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment
For many individuals at Sibcy House, treatment begins with a Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment (CDA): a thorough, collaborative evaluation designed to answer a central question: What is really going on, and how should care move forward?
The CDA is typically completed over 10 days and is more than a clinical evaluation; it’s an opportunity to pause, reflect, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
What the CDA Includes
Clinical Evaluation
- Psychiatric evaluation including psychopharmacological assessment
- Psychological and neuropsychological testing
- Structured Clinical Interview (SCID)
- Neurodivergence/autism assessment
Whole-Person Assessment
- Assessment for addictions, including behavioral addictions
- Nursing, nutritional, and physical assessment
- Spiritual assessment upon request
- Recreation therapy assessment
Planning & Observation
- Psychosocial assessment and aftercare planning
- Pharmacogenetic testing when indicated
- Clinical observation through group and milieu participation
- Clear recommendations for next-step care
The Feedback Meeting
Around Day 7, you’ll participate in a CDA Feedback Meeting, a collaborative conversation in which your team shares what they’re learning and discusses the themes emerging from your assessment. You’re welcome to invite family members, outpatient providers, or other trusted supports.
After the CDA
You’ll receive a comprehensive written report integrating findings from all disciplines, designed to be clear and useful as you move forward. Some residents transition to next-step care after the CDA; others continue in residential treatment to build on the clarity they’ve found here.
