Evidence-based treatment

SOS Wellness brings psychiatric care, therapy, and case management together under one team. Treatment is individualized and draws on approaches supported by clinical research:

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): addressing unhelpful thought patterns in depression, anxiety, and trauma
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): building skills for emotion regulation and relationships
• Trauma-informed care: approaches designed for people with trauma histories
• Motivational interviewing: supporting readiness for change and engagement in treatment
• Integrated treatment: coordinated care for co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions
• Medication-assisted treatment (MAT): FDA-approved medications for substance use disorders when clinically appropriate

Measuring your progress

We use validated clinical assessment tools to track how you are doing throughout treatment:

• PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire): depression severity
• GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale): anxiety symptoms
• PCL-5 (PTSD Checklist): trauma-related symptoms
• AUDIT and DAST: screening for alcohol and drug use patterns

Every patient receives a comprehensive initial assessment, an individualized treatment plan with clear goals, regular progress monitoring with these tools, and treatment adjustments based on your progress and feedback. When it helps, we coordinate with your other providers.

How we hold ourselves accountable

• Clinical practice: weekly team consultations and case reviews, adherence to clinical practice guidelines, and ongoing staff training
• Patient-centered care: feedback channels for concerns and suggestions, and treatment plan reviews that incorporate your input
• Safety: adverse event monitoring and response protocols, medication safety procedures, and external review by CARF and OhioMHAS
• Data-informed decisions: systematic outcome tracking, periodic review of treatment effectiveness, and adjustments to improve care

Your privacy and rights

• HIPAA: federal privacy protections for your health information
• 42 CFR Part 2: additional confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records
• Informed consent: a clear explanation of treatment options, risks, and benefits before you decide
• Client rights: your right to respectful, dignified care, described on our Client Rights and Grievances page

Your role in care

Your goals, questions, and feedback help shape treatment. We encourage you to discuss options, expected benefits, possible risks, and any concerns with your provider. Complete assessments honestly, tell us what is working and what is not, and share concerns with your provider or our administrative team. No specific treatment outcome is guaranteed.
