Improving Access & Outcomes: Family Care Center Adds New Mental Health Services

DENVER, Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mental health challenges continue to grow nationwide, with increasing demand for care leading to longer wait times and worsening patient symptoms. To address this critical need, Family Care Center is expanding its range of services, ensuring patients receive the care they need more quickly and effectively.

The new offerings include intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) and psychological testing, adding to the existing therapy, psychiatry, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) services. These additions reinforce Family Care Center's commitment to providing comprehensive, evidence-based care tailored to each patient's unique needs.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) to Reduce the Risk of Crisis Interventions

IOPs offer structured outpatient care, helping patients manage their symptoms more effectively without requiring hospitalization. These programs provide a critical bridge between inpatient and traditional outpatient services, reducing the risk of crisis interventions while supporting both patients and their families.

Available at select Family Care Center clinics in Colorado, Tennessee, and Texas, IOPs have already shown positive results for patients struggling with conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and suicidal ideation.

Psychological Testing for a Personalized Approach to Treatment

Family Care Center has also added psychological testing to ensure a more personalized and precise approach to mental health care. Psychological testing is designed to uncover underlying cognitive and mental health issues, allowing for earlier and more targeted intervention. It is not offered as a stand-alone service but is provided as part of a personalized care plan when clinically indicated.

"Psychological testing is a more structured process compared to an evaluation or assessment," said Dr. Chris Ivany, Chief Operating Officer of Family Care Center. "It provides deeper insights into a patient's cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. This valuable information helps us create highly tailored and effective treatment plans, ensuring that patients receive the care that best meets their unique needs."

How Integrated Care Drives Better Mental Health Outcomes

With these expanded services, Family Care Center continues to set the standard for integrated care—offering a seamless approach that leads to better outcomes for patients. Patients can often begin therapy, psychiatry, TMS, IOPs, and – when clinically appropriate – psychological testing within days, rather than waiting months for care.

Family Care Center's integrated care model not only expedites access to services but also significantly enhances patient outcomes. Nationally, the benchmark for positive mental health outcomes stands at 52%; however, Family Care Center consistently surpasses this.

• 77% of patients report fewer symptoms within six months of therapy
• 92% of patients report fewer symptoms within six months of therapy and psychiatry
• 95% of patients report fewer symptoms within six months of therapy, psychiatry, and TMS
