The Columbia County
Community Support Program (CSP) provides an array of community-based
services to adults living in Columbia County who are affected by serious and
persistent mental illnesses (such as schizophrenia,
depression, bipolar disorder, delusional disorder and schizoaffective
disorder) and who
may be at risk for institutionalization, frequent hospitalization or dysfunction in quality of daily
living.
Despite their psychiatric difficulties
our clients and
consumers find that with appropriate support they
are able to manage their illness effectively and lead happy, rewarding and creative lives. Our mission is
to help our consumers be as independent and productive as possible.
We believe
that people who have mental illnesses should
be treated with dignity and respect, that they have the same
needs, aspirations, rights and responsibilities as other citizens, that
they
should have access to the opportunities available to others, and that
essential services should be readily available to them.
Our
services are
provided by a skilled and highly trained staff certified by the Division of
Community Services of the Department of Health and Human Services in
compliance with State of Wisconsin statutes.
The CSP is unique in
that we provide services
our in the community, where residents live and work.
The services offered
through the CSP are many, and include 24-hour crisis intervention, symptom management, supportive counseling, medication
management, psychiatric and psychological services,
individual, group and family psychotherapy, rehabilitation services,
employment and vocational services, activities of
daily living training, social and recreational skills training, support
services (access to services to meet physical or dental needs, legal needs,
necessary transportation, financial support, and living accommodations). These services, for most
clients in the program, tend to be long-term.
Every individual
receiving services through the CSP benefits from an individually tailored
treatment plan that is developed to meet each consumer’s specific needs.
This individualized treatment plan
allows everyone involved with
the client to evaluate the impact and efficiency of services that are provided
and progress toward treatment goals, enhances communication
between all direct service staff, and ensures that services are well defined
and consistently implemented. The
individualized
treatment plan is developed within 30 days following admission or transfer into the
program and is valid for six months. Treatment planning occurs directly with the
client. All treatment objectives are written to support treatment goals and
are written by the case manager and the client. The case manager reviews the
treatment plan on a monthly basis with the client. Treatment is reviewed at
least quarterly with the entire treatment team during the interdisciplinary team
meeting. The following participants are involved in the development of the
treatment plan:
the client, the client's
guardian, family members and
significant others, the treating psychiatrist,
the CSP case manager, other CSP program staff that
may be involved in the delivery of services to the client and other community based service
providers.
A program
psychiatrist supervises all services provided by the CSP.
