Prakash Ellenhorn serves clients ages 18 and older that may have both mild and acute psychiatric symptoms such as a mood, thought, or anxiety disorder, medical conditions complicating psychiatric treatment, eating disorder, or co-occurring or dual diagnosis disorder. The program offers a non-institutional alternative to hospital and residential programs. Most of their clients live in their own apartments in the community, while a smaller group resides at one of their residential programs. The average length of stay is six months.
Prakash Ellenhorn is a private Program for Assertive Community Treatment (PACT) team, providing comprehensive, individualized and multidisciplinary psychiatric and psychosocial services. Prakash Ellenhorn was founded in 2005 by Ross Ellenhorn, LICSW, Ph.D., and Madhavi Prakash, M.D., Ph.D., who are the owners as well as the admission contacts for the program. Ed Levin, LICSW, Director of Business Development for the program, has twenty eight years of experience as a clinician and administrator and working with this treatment model. PACT is the most widely tested model of psychiatric community care for persons with severe and persistent mental illness offering the coordinated services of psychiatrists, nurses, therapists, social workers, vocational counselors and personal trainers to people with severe and persistent mental illness. The program is endorsed by both the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill and the National Institute of Mental Health as a "best practice" in community mental health.
The program services offered include an assessment which is full psychological testing, a physical exam and history, vocational testing, and psychiatric, substance abuse, family, spiritual, and social-developmental assessments. Much of their work involves helping clients get back into life. They work directly with clients to help them secure jobs, get back to school, re-engage with hobbies, and volunteer. The programs aim is toward recovering clients to "whole person's".
