About Clifton Community Behavioral Health Clinic

Individualized Recovery plans are developed with each participant and include specific goals and objectives. Plans are reviewed regularly and progress notes are recorded on a weekly basis. Goals are achieved through active participation, supportive counseling, specialized groups and the structured support of daily living skills. Additionally, psychiatric consultation and medication monitoring (when appropriate) occur regularly in coordination with other supporting services
