Project Transition

For 25 years, our innovative apartment-based programs in southeast Pennsylvania have provided hope and help to adults (ages 18+) with persistent psychiatric problems, including personality disorders and co-occurring substance abuse. We’re the recipient of the national Lilly Reintegration Award.

What the members of Project Transition share in common:

Multiple experiences of having felt failed by the mental health system.
Episodes of high acuity have left the person and family members exhausted.
Others may view the person as being very challenging.

Distinctive features:

An open, supportive, normalized setting. Our programs are based in attractive apartment complexes that seamlessly blend into suburban communities.
Highly integrated services. Comprehensive, on-site activities and supportive supervision build vital competencies: self-acceptance, healthy relationships, independent living skills, recovery self-management, educational and vocational gains, medication management, and good health.
Multiple impact treatment and skill development. Our approach includes therapies, an emphasis upon belonging to a community, the careful use of medications, a wide range of rehabilitative and dialectical skill workshops, wellness and exercise activities, stress reduction practices, fun, and more.
Substance abuse services. Experienced addiction counselors address the challenges of unified recovery from substance abuse and psychiatric difficulties.
Levels of care & sustaining relationships. A graduated path fosters increased separation from the program without the loss of valued peer and staff relationships.
24/7 support. A responsive crisis response system provides peace of mind. Our top clinicians are always on call.
The staff. Seasoned, licensed professionals provide on-site therapies, psych rehab, med management, and addictions treatment. Most of our therapists and physicians have 20+ years of experience; all of our psychologists are doctorates.
Family friendly. Ongoing dialog between staff and family members is augmented by support meetings and quarterly educational seminars.
