High Acuity Intensive Support Home
Some individuals require a level of care that goes far beyond traditional sober living or residential treatment.
The Oak Forest Recovery High Acuity Intensive Support Home is designed for individuals with complex mental health needs, developmental disabilities, or behavioral challenges that require continuous supervision and personalized care.
This specialized home provides structured, compassionate support for individuals who need a higher level of assistance to remain safe, stable, and engaged in daily life.
Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals facing severe mental health challenges or dual diagnosis conditions can receive the daily care, structure, and guidance needed to stabilize and improve quality of life.
Who This Program Is For
The High Acuity Intensive Support Home serves individuals who may not fit traditional treatment or sober living environments.
Clients in this program often experience:
- Severe mental health conditions
- Developmental or cognitive disabilities
- Complex behavioral needs
- Dual diagnosis involving addiction and mental health
- Difficulty functioning independently in traditional programs
Many residents have previously attempted other levels of care such as outpatient therapy, residential treatment, or sober living programs but still require a more structured and supportive environment.
These individuals benefit from consistent supervision, individualized support plans, and a compassionate care team that understands the complexity of mental health and addiction recovery.
24 Hour Companion Care
Residents of the High Acuity Intensive Support Home receive around the clock companion care to ensure safety, stability, and ongoing engagement.
This level of support includes:
Continuous supervision and guidance
Structured daily routines and activities
Assistance with life skills and daily functioning
Emotional support and behavioral guidance
Coordination with outside professionals and caregivers
The goal is to provide a stable and supportive environment where individuals can live safely while receiving the care they need.
This level of care is particularly important for individuals experiencing severe anxiety, mood disorders, behavioral challenges, or developmental conditions that require consistent support throughout the day.
Individualized Support Plans
Each resident receives a customized care plan designed around their specific needs, challenges, and goals.
Support plans may include collaboration with outside professionals such as:
- Behavioral specialists and ABA trained staff
- Occupational therapists
- Mental health clinicians
- Family members and guardians
By working closely with these partners, Oak Forest ensures that each resident receives a coordinated and comprehensive level of care.
This integrated approach allows individuals with both addiction and mental health challenges to receive support that addresses their full range of needs rather than focusing on only one aspect of their health.
Support for Dual Diagnosis and Complex Mental Health Needs
Many individuals struggling with substance use also experience significant mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma, or mood disorders. When addiction and mental health conditions occur together, this is commonly referred to as dual diagnosis.
Dual diagnosis can make recovery more complex and often requires a higher level of structure and support than traditional recovery housing can provide.
The High Acuity Intensive Support Home was developed to support individuals facing these challenges by providing:
Structured living environments
Daily supervision and behavioral support
Guidance from experienced recovery professionals
Coordination with clinical and medical providers
Long term stability and safety
By supporting both addiction recovery and mental health stability, the program helps residents build a stronger foundation for long term wellbeing.
A Specialized Environment for Complex Needs
Many families struggle to find appropriate care for loved ones who require intensive support. Traditional treatment programs may not be equipped to manage severe behavioral or developmental challenges.
The High Acuity Intensive Support Home was created to address this gap.
The home environment provides:
- A small and structured living setting
- Highly trained support staff
- Personalized routines and supervision
- A compassionate approach focused on dignity and safety
This type of structured recovery housing allows individuals with complex mental health or developmental challenges to live in a stable environment where their needs can be carefully monitored and supported.
For families searching for intensive mental health support housing or specialized care for a loved one, this program offers a rare and highly personalized option.
A Last Resort Option That Provides Hope Approach
For many families, this program becomes an option after other services have been unable to meet their loved one’s needs.
Because of the high level of staffing and specialized care required, this program is typically a private pay service rather than insurance based treatment.
While the level of care is intensive, the goal remains the same as every Oak Forest program to help individuals live meaningful and supported lives while addressing addiction and mental health challenges.
Even in the most complex situations, the Oak Forest team believes that stability, dignity, and compassionate support can create meaningful change.
