Monarch Community

Monarch Community provides a full continuum of care for patients with severe mental health diagnoses. Starting with a thorough evaluation and stabilization, Monarch ensures that patients receive the correct length and type of treatment needed for their condition. The next phase of the program is the intensive treatment program. Time, team, and community are the overarching principles that Monarch embraces to create an immersive environment for learning, growth, and enrichment. Monarch’s coordinated specialty care program integrates exceptional medication management, intensive psychotherapy, and an immersive community program to serve adults with severe psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder.

Social Recovery and Community Reintegration

Located in the heart of Houston’s historic Museum District, Monarch provides
supportive, therapeutic engagement for residents through a series of step-down programs to successfully reintegrate into their families, friendships, workplaces, and communities. Residents have time to build trusting relationships, find effective medication regimens, and strengthen the social and occupational skills needed for greater independence. A robust on-campus and transitional work program help residents discover meaningful ways to contribute and engage with the greater Houston community.
