Programming at First City Mental Health Center
At First City, our programming is more than a schedule of therapies. It is a structured and supportive plan that helps you regain balance, build confidence, and move toward long-term recovery. Every part of the day is designed to strengthen your mind, body, and emotional well-being.
Individualized Care Every Day
Each client receives a treatment plan built around their personal history, strengths, and goals. Our multidisciplinary team includes psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, and case managers who work together to ensure you receive the right level of care at every stage of your journey.
Strong Foundations in Residential Care
Our residential level of care provides a safe and therapeutic environment where you can focus fully on recovery. You will participate in daily structured programming with six to eight hours of clinical and therapeutic activities, including group therapy, individual counseling, and life-skills sessions.
Transitioning Toward Independence
As you progress, our step-down levels of care provide continued support while helping you return to daily life.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
A full-day treatment schedule that provides intensive therapy and support while allowing you to return home or to supportive housing in the evenings.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
A flexible treatment option offering several hours of therapy per week, ideal for those transitioning from residential or PHP care who are ready to maintain structure while re-engaging with everyday life.
