1.Needed structure. DBT day treatment typically provides six to eight hours of therapy each day. This can give someone struggling with the many symptoms of BPD needed structure to better manage their symptoms and learn healthy ways to cope.
2.Middle of the road. With DBT day treatment, clients get more support than they would in individual therapy or outpatient DBT treatment. DBT day treatment is most appropriate for people who don’t need the level of care found in residential DBT treatment.
3.Comfort of home. Those who enter DBT day treatment can live at home while they participate in therapy. They can also live in another supportive living environment, if needed. This allows them to use the skills learned during DBT day treatment in their natural environment.
4.Intensive treatment. A DBT day treatment center provides individual and group therapy similar to that offered at a residential Dialectical Behavior Therapy program.
5.More support. Dialectical Behavior Therapy day treatment can give those suffering from the symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder and other disorders the support needed to make a recovery from their symptoms. Throughout the day, DBT skills will be taught and reinforced by both therapists and other staff.
