Safe Journey House Hyattsville

Located in Hyattsville, Maryland, Safe Journey House Hyattsville is a residential therapeutic program. The program describes its aim as providing an option in place of psychiatric hospitalization and, where it can, making an inpatient stay shorter. People facing a mental health crisis receive short-term help here, and psychiatrists and licensed mental health professionals can be reached at any hour.

The program is built to address urgent problems promptly and to lower the chance of another crisis later. It describes two service levels: one for people who may be able to avoid inpatient admission, and one for people for whom inpatient care is being weighed. The work centers on strengthening the support network a person already has and building on abilities they already possess.

Within the opening 72 hours, each resident works alongside the team to create a Crisis Prevention Plan written for that person. That document pinpoints early warning signs and triggers and lays out concrete steps for responding sooner. Team members additionally assist with linking people to resources in the community, such as financial assistance, schooling, social networks, medical care and mental health services. Planning also addresses going back to a prior residence or relocating to a living situation that suits them better.

At this center, treatment is individual, and the rehabilitation plan is adjusted to the person's situation, including diagnosis and preferences.
