For adults 60+, their geriatric care addresses dementia and other aging-related complications that can affect mental health and substance use. Day treatment and intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment are offered at Sharp for patients who do not require 24-hour supervision or are stepping down from inpatient care. Their continuing care program lasts for a lifetime at no cost to the patient. In this program, clients learn to solve the issues that come along with transitioning back to home, work and community in weekly support groups. Patients can also find therapists to engage in regular counseling. Sharp's aftercare app provides access to and information about aftercare.
