Treatment providers in clinical programs also understand that clients often suffer from diagnosable mental disorders that require treatment tailored to the problems that the client is facing. Irts staff are trained in and choose from a variety of treatment approaches and modalities to determine the most appropriate and effective treatment for each resident under the guidance of the clinical supervisor and the vice president of programs. In assessment and treatment, both systemic and individual factors are considered. Additionally, mary ryder home utilizes the "golden thread" concept, where assessment is linked to the treatment plan, which is linked to services provided. Treatment recommendations and treatment plans are based on what interventions are medically necessary to overcome the presenting problems the resident has identified. Treatment plans are client-centered, utilizing the client's strengths and individualized goals for treatment. Services provided to the residents include: housing, food, wellness activities, assistance with daily living activities, coordination of behavioral health and medical care, social interaction, physical activity, recreation, and linkages with community resources. The home contracts and partners with other providers, such as psychiatrists, physicians, and numerous community volunteers to provide the scope of programming offered to the residents.
