The Life Adjustment Team was established in 1977 to provide intensive psychiatric outreach rehabilitation services to assist patients to function successfully in the community. Our professional rehabilitation team implements evidence-based psychosocial rehabilitation programs on a one-to-one basis, in the home, at our centers, and during goal-oriented outings in the community.

Our staff of Masters and Doctorate level clinicians can arrange Team visits from one to seven days a week, depending on the need. The intensity of treatment is determined by the personal needs and treatment goals of the patient as well as the integrity and strength of the current support systems.
1.
Patients who are working with a therapist but need short term support. Our teaching, mentoring and coaching approach can be very beneficial to patients experiencing mild, moderate or severe levels of distress adversely affecting relationships, responsibilities or daily functioning.

2.
Patients requiring intensive outpatient rehabilitation as part of a discharge plan from a psychiatric hospital, partial day program or residential treatment center. Under the proper circumstances, intensive outpatient in-home stabilization may be implemented as an alternative to inpatient care, outpatient partial day programs or residential treatment.

3.
Patients in crisis requiring intervention. The Team has developed the TACT intervention team model (Treatment Assessment and Consultation Team) for the families of patients who are putting themselves or others at risk in the home or community but are not willing or able to participate in treatment.

Our staff are professionally trained in the evidence-based best practices recently published in Dr. Robert Paul Liberman's latest book Recovery from Disability. This comprehensive manual of psychiatric rehabilitation spans 40 years of state-of-the-art research by Dr. Liberman at the UCLA Research Center for Schizophrenia and Psychiatric Rehabilitation, located in Los Angeles, California.
