Envision Wellness (Envision) is the only provider of Continuing Day Treatment (CDT) in Erie County designed for individuals experiencing emotional, psychiatric, behavioral, and interpersonal challenges due to a persistent mental health diagnosis. As the smallest behavioral health agency in the region, Envision provides a level of personalized care that many larger organizations struggle to match. This allows for smaller counselor caseloads, ensuring individualized attention tailored to each individual’s specific needs.
Our CDT or Wellness Community program (WelCom) exemplifies this commitment to highly personalized care. Designed for individuals facing significant difficulties due to serious and persistent mental health diagnoses, WelCom is especially beneficial for those struggling with co-occurring substance use disorders. With a comprehensive approach to therapy, the program focuses on managing symptoms, developing coping skills, and cultivating positive life skills.
WelCom program participants engage in several one-hour group sessions weekly, depending on their needs. Sessions are structured to foster a supportive group environment to address mental health and substance use issues through a harm reduction recovery model, emphasizing gradual improvement and sustainable recovery, while addressing the unique challenges of each client.
Envision’s role as the only CDT provider in Erie County highlights our dedication to filling a significant need and crucial gap in behavioral health services. In maintaining a small, dedicated team focused on individualized care, our goal is to provide clients with the highest quality of support possible as they work toward achieving greater independence and well-being.
