Long Term Structured Residences

COMHAR operates Long Term Structured Residences (LTSRs) located (2) in Philadelphia and (2) in Northampton County. These therapeutic programs are designed to provide 24/7 residential and intensive treatment supports for adults with a variety of psychiatric and health related needs.

Individuals requiring this level of care have access to a variety of services including:

Individual and group therapies
Psychiatric rehabilitation

Cognitive Therapy/Recovery (an evidence-based model)

The multidisciplinary treatment team is comprised of staff that includes a psychiatrist, mental health professionals, licensed nurses, peer specialists, and direct care staff.

in developing skills, increasing their independence, and stabilizing their psychiatric and physical health symptoms with the goal of moving into lesser structured settings.
