About Project Transition Reading
Project Transition cares for adults 18 to 65 with mental health conditions, including those with co-occurring disorders like substance use, intellectual development disorders, or physical health conditions. They offer residential treatment in apartments.
What sets Project Transition apart is their emphasis on therapeutic community in the mental health space. Project Transition specifically uses the term "members" instead of "clients" or "patients" for people receiving treatment, as they want participants to feel like part of a community and achieve meaningful, community-integrated lives. Members participate in an apartment complex community, promoting reintegration into the broader community. This model aims to stigma and encourages normalized social expectations.
Treatment Options
Project Transition uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with an individualized, strength-based emphasis in their residential mental health programs. With a dedicated team of about 30 people, including certified peer and recover specialists, providing daily support, they employ evidence-based therapeutic interventions tailored to each member's goals. The staff attend to members from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., and members can contact them after hours if they need emergency support.
During the day, Project Transition staff run skills workshops, medication management, therapies, group meetings, and more. Their individual sessions, psychiatry appointments, and group therapy run twice a week. The rest of the week includes community meetings, skills workshops, goal planning, and Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings. An onsite driver can transport members from the apartment to off-site AA meetings, NA meetings, or medical appointments.
Additionally, Project Transition offers systems of support (SOS) for children and adults with behavioral health concerns that impact their community. They work with crisis teams and family support systems to decrease the need for hospitalizations and avoid crises.

- Continuity of engagement in the community
- Capably able to self-manage medications
