Montgomery Station 

Montgomery Station is a Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program. We work with adults with serious mental illnesses in a variety of settings to reach their full potential in all aspects of their lives. Montgomery Station’s philosophy is based on the Mental Health Recovery Model. The Recovery Model emphasizes that people can make progress and positive changes in their lives, despite having mental illness. It emphasizes hope and the fact that, although people don’t have full control over their symptoms, they can have full control over their lives. Montgomery Station and the Recovery Model take a holistic view that focuses on the person, not just the symptoms. This is why it is important to work closely with the individual, his or her family and friends, and his or her doctors and therapists.

Construction on the new Montgomery Station space is now underway! To check out pictures of Montgomery Station's future location, building 630, please click here!
