About the Program: At Sanger Place Mental Health Rehabilitation Center (MHRC), we provide intensive mental health and psychiatric treatment services in a safe, welcoming environment so people can focus on getting better.

We provide a longer-term recovery program within a supportive, structured, and delayed egress inpatient environment designed to help clients prepare to move to the community and/or lower levels of care. Our 15-bed facility has multidisciplinary staffing which includes psychiatrists, internal medicine, licensed therapists, registered nurses, recovery specialists, rehabilitation therapists, peer support specialists, and a dietitian.

Our services are designed using Telecare’s Recovery-Centered Clinical System (RCCS). This system emphasizes choice-making skills, harm-reduction techniques, and strives to awaken the hopes and dreams of the individual. The RCCS emphasizes “no force first” practices. Staff work with individuals within their cultural dynamic in building independence and self-responsibility in order to foster their recovery and successfully transition back to lower levels of care.
