Camden Case Management offers management services to teen individuals with mental health and/or addiction challenges in need of ongoing support to successfully pursue their reintegration goals.

Our team is dedicated to developing flexible, creative, and individualized reintegration plans for each client within a comprehensive support structure. Utilizing a multidisciplinary team and a multi-tier program of available options, our aim is to assist our clients and families in moving towards functionality through reasonable and achievable goals.

Camden Case Management (CCM) is founded on the principles of excellence and compassionate care, attuned support, and respect for our clients and their families. Each client has a personalized case management team that works closely with family members, outside clinical providers and support personnel participating in the client’s process.

Utilizing our approach, we have noticed that our clients benefit greatly from comprehensive, ongoing and long-term case management services in several areas, such as reintegration plan creation and revision, daily phone support, home visits, medication adherence, social and educational support, life skills coaching, recovery related activities, communication skill building, community development, active participation and accountability.

Through supportive practice, our clients are able to apply and benefit from the skills they have learned within their clinical sessions.
