The Boyer House Foundation
provides long-term, intensive, team-based treatment in a community living setting for clients who need more intensive treatment than
can be offered in an outpatient setting. They work with young adults with Axis I and/or Axis II disorders including dual diagnoses,
who have experienced persistent problems that have been non- responsive to other interventions. Clients may stay from six months to
several years.
The services provided by the Boyer House Foundation include active treatment coordination and oversight; regular treatment planning
conferences; family therapy and consultation; room and board in a private room; milieu therapy and case management; intensive individual
psychotherapy three times a week; household support services (three to five meetings per week, plus check-ins); medication prescribing
and medication management; vocational planning and job assistance; program outings and activities; group therapy; psychological assessment
upon admission; and discharge planning. Their households and offices are located in the San Francisco Bay Area (Marin County),
and their clients come from across the United States.
