55+ Outpatient Health: A Program for Senior Adults
What is 55+ Outpatient Health?
An outpatient program that provides individualized treatment for older adults who are challenged by depression, anxiety, and the loss of quality of life. This program provides intensive outpatient treatment Monday through Friday. Group sessions start at 10 a.m. and wrap up about 1:15 p.m..

The program is medically supervised and tailored to meet the individualized needs of older adult patients requiring behavioral health support. Therapy sessions are in a group format. These groups are facilitated by a Nebraska licensed clinician, under supervision of a board certified Psychiatrist.
Additionally the patient's care is coordinated with families, caregivers, and physicians to provide the best treatment solutions for each individual.
