ABSTRACTThere are many outpatient interventions for treating youth with mood disorders and their families. Despite the severity of impairment related to mood disorders, there is little research on the effectiveness of intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization programs that implement evidence-based treatment components for youth with mood disorders. A preliminary review of an innovative program, the Child and Adolescent Integrated Mood Program (CAIMP), that incorporates evidenced-based intervention within the service model of a partial hospitalization program for youth ages 9–18 is provided. Structured clinical interviews, broad-based assessment measures, and clinician-reported functioning scales were implemented to gather preliminary data. A brief description is included regarding the clinical setting, CAIMP treatment components, and pilot data. Favorable treatment outcomes post-CAIMP, including a reduction in inpatient hospitalization, are explored. Posttreatment clinical improvement was noted, and inpatient psychiatric hospital admissions decreased after completing CAIMP. Pilot data are favorable for CAIMP when providing treatment for youth with severe mood disorders and their caregivers. This intervention shows promise for being an important addition to the treatment options for youth with severe mood disorders and their families and is worthy of further evaluation. Providers have this clinical takeaway: Preliminary data suggest providing a partial hospitalization program specifically designed for mood disorders that engages both caregivers and youth with severe mood disorders has clinical benefit. |
