Behavioral Health Services

Behavioral Health Services from Benjamin Rose can better the life of a loved one with mental illness by providing holistic mental health care, which will help them to continue living in their homes or in the most comfortable environment to them. Our services are also available to caregivers of older adults in need of support and counseling.

With our help, you or your loved one will be empowered to manage mental or emotional problems such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and hoarding disorder.

Trained professionals will provide a broad assessment to help you and your loved one determine the most appropriate behavioral health treatment, or other services from Benjamin Rose, for your needs. During the intake process, payment options will be discussed, including approved insurance providers, such as Medicare and Medicaid plans. To be eligible to receive our Behavioral Health Services, you or your loved one must be aged 55 or older.

We are a member of the Mental Health & Addiction Advocacy Coalition (MHAC) and The Ohio Council of Behavioral Health & Family Services Providers, both of which support advocacy for your loved one’s mental health needs on a local and state level. We are also a member of the Hoarding Connection of Cuyahoga County, and are a contract agency of the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services (ADAMHS) Board of Cuyahoga County.

We have received accreditation through CARF and are certified by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) to provide the following behavioral health services and activities:

Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS)

These intensive short-term services help enable a loved one with mental illness to continue to live in their home or in a comfortable environment to them.

Community Psychiatric Supportive Treatment (CPST)

Our CPST services work to develop a person-centered treatment plan in partnership with your loved one and their caseworker. This plan will assist your loved one in managing their mental health conditions. The case manager can support your loved one in making connections to psychiatric and medical care, housing and other entitlements to help improve quality of life and independence. As a part of the treatment plan, a case manager will determine the number of sessions that are needed to address your loved one’s needs.

Counseling/Psychotherapy

Our one-on-one counseling sessions provide support from licensed social workers to loved ones who are experiencing issues due to chronic illness, trauma, grief, loss, relationship problems or ongoing mental health issues.

Mental Health Day Treatment - OFFERED IN PERSON AND THROUGH TELEHEALTH

This program is designed to provide intensive three-hour group therapy for a loved one living with a severe mental illness, or one who has been discharged from a psychiatric hospital but is still in need of intensive therapy. 

The program consists of face-to-face group therapy provided by licensed mental health professionals who can address the needs of your loved one such as:

  • Mental health concerns
  • Coping skills
  • Medication management
  • Relationship and social skills
  • Conflict resolution
  • Emotion/behavior management
