A structured approach aimed at enhancing healthcare for individuals with chronic diseases. The core elements of most CDM approaches include patient self-management, physician education, and organizational support. A range of strategies are used at Star View Community Services, including case management, continuous quality improvement, disease management (DM), and the chronic care model (CCM).

Court-ordered outpatient treatment

Referred to by various names in different states, such as "assisted outpatient treatment (AOT)," "involuntary outpatient treatment," or "mandatory outpatient treatment." 44 states including California allow the use of court-ordered outpatient treatment as a way for individuals with severe mental illness, who are unable to voluntarily receive care, to stay in their community. Each state has its own laws regarding involuntary commitment that establish the criteria for determining when court-ordered treatment is appropriate for these individuals.

This includes learning about mental illness, mastering new methods of managing it, and offering encouragement to one another.

Intensive case management

Intensive Case Management (ICM) is an essential service in the mental health care continuum for individuals with severe mental illness. It involves building a caring and trustworthy relationship with the consumer, promoting their independence by coordinating appropriate services and providing ongoing, long-term support. ICM evolved from Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) and Case Management (CM) and emphasizes frequent contact, small caseloads, and high-intensity care to improve the consumer's quality of life. The case manager coordinates services from multiple systems as the consumer's needs change, working to help them achieve their recovery goals and stabilize their lives.

Aripiprazole

A medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics. It is primarily used to treat symptoms of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression. Aripiprazole works by adjusting the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin, which are involved in regulating mood and behavior.In a drug treatment facility like Star View Community Services, aripiprazole may be used to help manage symptoms of substance withdrawal, particularly in cases where there is an underlying mental health condition, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Aripiprazole may also be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for individuals with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders.

Lurasidone

Lurasidone is another medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics. It is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar depression. It works by modulating the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, including dopamine and serotonin. By doing so, it can help to reduce the symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking, as well as the symptoms of bipolar depression.

Olanzapine

Quetiapine

An atypical antipsychotics used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder by reducing the symptoms of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder, such as hallucinations, delusions, mood swings, and sleep disturbances.

EPS are a set of movement disorders that can occur with the use of antipsychotic medications, and can include symptoms such as tremors, muscle stiffness, and involuntary movements. While Quetiapine may still cause EPS in some individuals, it is generally considered to have a lower risk of these symptoms compared to other antipsychotics.
