Services for Patients with Chronic, Severe Disorders

Adults who have severe and ongoing mental illness — schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, other psychotic illnesses, severe mood disorders, or personality disorders — benefit from the complete range of specialized services that WPIC provides.

These conditions are chronic, with symptoms waxing and waning over time. Because of this, adults with these diagnoses need a variety of services that provide ongoing care for their illness.

Through programs in outpatient, inpatient, and residential settings, the appropriate types of treatment can be provided without interruption.

Because family involvement is important in managing mental illnesses, both supportive and educational services are provided for family members. When necessary, community services for patients are arranged through appropriate agencies outside WPIC.
