About AMFM Mental Health Treatment
At AMFM’s residential program for mental health in Vienna, men receive support for anxiety, depression, personality disorders, schizophrenia, suicidality, self-harm, and trauma. From the comfort and safety of a well-appointed residential home, clients benefit from personalized treatment plans, 24/7 clinical care, and in-person psychiatry as they develop the tools they need for long-term wellness.
Unravel Deeper Issues & Develop New Coping Skills
AMFM balances symptom relief with understanding root causes. Twice-weekly individual therapy sessions explore personal challenges and develop effective coping strategies. In group sessions, clients practice new skills with others who understand what they’re going through. AMFM’s wide range of therapeutic options include:
- Recovery-oriented cognitive therapy to boost confidence and resilience
- Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to safely process trauma
- Equine therapy, Reiki, yoga, and sound baths as alternative ways to process emotions and build a stronger connection between physical and mental health.
Settle In to an 8-Bed Suburban Home
AMFM’s men’s residence on Lawyers Rd. features a gym and backyard swimming pool. Rooms are single or double, depending on availability. Chefs certified in a “food is medicine” philosophy prepare meals according to dietary needs, and clients dine out together on Saturday evenings. Clients also reconnect with nature on outings to places like Great Falls Park and the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens.
Leave Prepared for Long-Term Progress
Aftercare planning at AMFM begins well before discharge. The Continued Care Journey curriculum equips clients with the knowledge and practical tools to navigate life after treatment. A case manager works hand-in-hand with the care team to determine next best steps, which may include stepping down to AMFM’s own outpatient program for continuity within the same system. The alumni program and app keep clients connected through support groups and daily inspiration.
