The Monarch Community
Monarch is a compassionate residential therapeutic community fostering an enhancement of the resident’s quality of life. Our continuum of care is designed to provide the appropriate level of support and safety while encouraging residents to increase personal responsibility and autonomy. Our coordinated specialty care team consisting of a psychiatrist, family liaison, and care navigator provides care throughout treatment. Individual therapists, mental health technicians, and rehabilitation specialists are part of the team until residents step down to Enduring Care. Respite beds are available during times of crisis.
