Strong Ties Outpatient Services

About the Company

Strong Ties Outpatient Services is part of the UR Medicine / University of Rochester Medical Center healthcare system, operating in Rochester, New York as an outpatient mental health facility. It is a certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC), which means it meets high standards of care set by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The facility operates as a branch of Strong Memorial Hospital and focuses on long-term support for individuals with serious and chronic mental health disorders.

Services

The facility offers outpatient mental health treatment for adults, including those with anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Care includes: – individual and group therapy and other forms of psychological counseling, – medication management, – access to the full-service Strong Ties Pharmacy for enrolled patients, – community support, including intensive Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) programs for individuals who have struggled with traditional care. In line with the certified CCBHC model, services include treatment for mental health disorders as well as co-occurring substance use issues, with an emphasis on improving functioning in daily life.

Care Model

Strong Ties operates under a team-based model – the patient is cared for by a multidisciplinary team of mental health specialists. Programs are designed for individuals requiring intensive, coordinated support, with the possibility of providing services both in the clinic and – in selected programs – in the patient's home environment. Care is long-term and focused on stabilizing symptoms, increasing independence, and social integration.

Who It’s For

Strong Ties Outpatient Services primarily serves adults with serious and chronic mental health disorders who need comprehensive outpatient support. The facility also runs programs for young adults (e.g., ages 18–25) diagnosed with psychotic disorders, delivered in an intensive community care model. Due to the CCBHC profile, the center is suitable for individuals for whom previous, less intensive forms of treatment have proven insufficient.

Community Support

Strong Ties collaborates with local institutions and the care system in Monroe County and surrounding counties, ensuring treatment coordination and continuity of care after hospitalization. Part of the offering includes programs aimed at keeping patients in the community, reducing relapses, improving quality of life, and supporting areas such as education, employment, and social relationships.

Safety and Standards

As a certified Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic and part of a large academic medical center, Strong Ties operates based on standardized clinical procedures, specialist oversight, and regular quality monitoring. The facility emphasizes accessibility of care, comprehensive assessment of needs, and individualized treatment plans that combine medical, psychotherapeutic, and social interventions.
