Depression Treatment Offered at Purpose
The key to our highly effective treatment process is our emphasis on individualized treatment. We treat each client as an individual.
We understand that some will arrive in need of intensive treatment, with overwhelming feelings – perhaps even suicidal ideation. Others may arrive with less intense depression symptoms but still need the appropriate treatment to cope with the mental illness. All who seek treatment will receive individualized treatment options and a comprehensive therapeutic process.
Our Supportive Environment Will Care for All Types of Depression
“Clinical depression” is a broad and often misunderstood term. It describes several disorders with mild to severe symptoms. Some of the types of depression for which we provide professional treatment include:
- Bipolar disorder
- Persistent depressive disorder
- Major depressive disorder
- Mood disorders
When treating depression, recognizing the different types can help our team find the best evidence-based approaches to meet each client’s needs.
Inpatient Treatment for Depression
Inpatient care at a residential depression treatment center is a good fit for the person experiencing severe, crisis-level, or treatment-resistant depression. This model provides clients with 24-hour daily care in a structured setting. This treatment placement removes the stresses of the outside world for the person and provides the most support.
Outpatient Treatment for Depression
Outpatient services, including an Intensive Outpatient Program or Partial Hospitalization Program, are best for those who can manage depression and their daily lives without excessive disruption.
People who thrive in the outpatient model are motivated to attend behavioral health programs and interpersonal therapy while working or attending school. These programs offer more flexibility, allowing clients with stable housing to go home to supportive family members after therapy each night.

Emotional and Behavioral Health Depression Treatment Programs
Our rehab center uses proven methods to provide individual and group therapy to teach our clients healthy coping skills to manage their depressive symptoms. Some methods commonly used in individual therapy are:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Rational emotional therapy (RET)
- Motivational interviewing (MI).
We also provide family therapy, which helps clients and their loved ones learn more about their mental health disorder. Better-informed, supportive family members can play a key part in the client’s ongoing commitment to wellness after leaving the rehab center.
Holistic Therapies and Mental Health Disorders

Holistic healing means addressing the entire person – body, mind, and spirit. It’s important to acknowledge that holistic therapies are also evidence-based and backed by clinical research. Holistic doesn’t mean “alternative,” even though some may confuse the two!
Techniques like meditation, yoga, art therapy, music therapy, nutritional counseling, and breathing techniques help the person learn to address their specific needs, manage their symptoms, and reduce stress. These holistic methods often lead to an overall well-balanced life and better management of depression symptoms.
Customized Treatment Plans
Every mental illness looks different in each individual who struggles. That’s why our team will develop a custom treatment plan to reflect each client’s symptoms, treatment goals, past treatment history, and support system. Plans may evolve, with our team fine-tuning strategies to help us surpass every client’s care needs.
Substance Abuse and Co-occurring Disorders

Depression and substance abuse are common co-occurring disorders. Those struggling with untreated depression often start substance abuse as a way to blunt the pain of their overwhelming feelings. As they develop a tolerance, they start using more of the substance, more often. That feeds a dangerous, addictive cycle that can be difficult to break.
We treat co-occurring depression and substance abuse simultaneously, addressing the physical needs of withdrawal. We use proven strategies, including medication-assisted treatment or medication management as needed, to address the physical needs while quitting substances.
However, we also support clients as they start making behavioral health changes to get well again. While receiving care, clients work individually and in group therapy to learn the coping skills to manage depression and stay clean and sober when they graduate their program.
Depression Relapse Prevention Strategies
Recovery doesn’t end when the client leaves the treatment facility. We help each client create a personal relapse prevention plan. Clients plan which tools they will use to face life’s challenges. These can include:
- Avoiding depression triggers, the people and places that start the negative thinking cycle
- Stress management strategies, like exercise or deep breathing, to reset the mindset and lower stress levels
- Finding community-based behavioral health support groups like SMART Recovery.
- Setting, measuring, and adjusting life goals, which gives people with depression something to look forward to each day
- Planning who to call for help if the symptoms of depression become overwhelming in the future
Setting this plan in motion before leaving the treatment center helps clients stay strong as they move forward. This plan is the client’s roadmap to continued recovery success for a better future.
Symptoms of Depression and Related Mental Health Conditions

The various types of depression can be challenging to diagnose, as many of the symptoms overlap. Here’s a general overview of some of the symptoms of depression:
- Ongoing sadness
- Feeling “empty”
- Lack of interest in doing once enjoyable things
- Fatigue or low energy levels
- Sleep disruptions
- Eating too much
- Eating too little
- Lack of concentration or focus
- Feeling worthless, hopeless, or guilty
- Irritability
- Restlessness
- Physical aches and pains
- Isolating from friends or family members
Because these are similar to other mental health disorders, it’s critical to see a professional for an initial assessment and correct diagnosis. A misdiagnosis is a missed opportunity to apply the most therpeutic and helpful treatment types.
If you have not been formally diagnosed but suspect you have depression, Purpose Healing Center can help! We will be glad to assess your mental well-being and help you learn more about your treatment options.

Insurance Covers the Costs of a Mental Health Treatment Center
Did you know that private and group health insurance plans cover many costs of mental health treatment services? Many don’t realize that
When a medical professional attests that your mental health care is medically necessary, you become eligible for certain services to be covered, including:
- Psychotherapy and behavioral health services
- If needed for co-occurring substance abuse, medical detox with prescriptions to relieve symptoms of withdrawal
- Medication management to ensure right prescriptions, make adjustments as needed, and avoid drug interactions
- Inpatient treatment or outpatient services, depending on the individual’s specific needs
