Strong Ties Outpatient Services

About the Company

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

Services

The facility offers outpatient mental health treatment for adults, including those with anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. The care includes:

• individual and group therapy as well as other forms of psychological counseling,
• medication management,
• access to the Strong Ties Pharmacy for enrolled patients,
• community support, including intensive programs such as Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) for those who have had difficulty with traditional care. In line with the nature of a certified CCBHC, services cover both mental health disorders and co-occurring substance abuse problems, with an emphasis on improving functioning in everyday life.

Care Model

Strong Ties operates in a team-based model – patients are under the care of a multidisciplinary team of mental health specialists. Programs are designed for those requiring intensive, coordinated support, with services provided both within the clinic and – in selected programs – in the patient's home environment. Care is long-term and aimed at stabilizing symptoms, increasing self-sufficiency, and promoting social integration.

For Whom

Strong Ties Outpatient Services primarily serves adults with serious and chronic mental disorders who require comprehensive outpatient support. The facility also runs programs for young adults (e.g., aged 18–25) with a diagnosis of psychotic disorders, implemented in an intensive community care model. Due to the CCBHC profile, the center is suitable for individuals whose previous, less intense forms of treatment have been insufficient.

Community Support

Strong Ties collaborates with local institutions and the healthcare system in Monroe County and surrounding counties, ensuring treatment coordination and continued care after hospitalization. The offer includes programs aimed at maintaining patients in the community, reducing relapses, improving quality of life, and supporting areas such as education, work, 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 supervision, and regular monitoring of care quality. The facility emphasizes accessible care, comprehensive assessment, and individual treatment plans that combine medical, psychotherapeutic, and social interventions.
