In-home schizophrenia support, alongside your psychiatrist
In-home schizophrenia support is daily structure at home after a hospital stay or first episode: routines, sleep, medication reminders and getting to every appointment. At Recover at Home, a coach follows the plan your psychiatrist and our in-house therapist set, and shares early warning signs the same day, across Colorado and Wyoming.
Coming home after a hospital stay for psychosis can feel fragile for the whole family. Our coaches bring calm, steady daily support into your home, carrying out the plan your psychiatrist sets, with longer days at first and less as you progress.
Built on our eating disorder program: the same daily coaching at home, the same in-house clinical team, and the same step-down plan.

What a recovery coach does with you
Coaches are trained in mental health first aid, suicide prevention and de-escalation. Your psychiatrist and our in-house therapist lead treatment.
Daily routines
Sleep, meals and getting out of the house: the steady structure that helps everything else feel manageable.
Medication reminders
Reminders and a simple log your psychiatrist can see. Coaches never give, fill or manage medication.
Early warning signs
Changes in sleep, pulling away, or new unusual experiences get shared with your psychiatrist and our director the same day.
Getting to appointments
Every psychiatry, therapy and early-psychosis team appointment, with a debrief afterwards.
Back to school, work and friends
Small, steady steps back into the places and people that matter.
Calm, steady company
Coaches stay calm and don’t argue with unusual beliefs. They keep the day grounded and bring the team in when something changes.
The step-down model
Example of how step-down support often looks
Most plans run about 6 months, the most common length from start to finish. Support is highest right after discharge, the riskiest time, and steps down as you progress.
- Month 1 12–16 hours/day Long days after a hospital stay: sleep, meals, medication reminders and a calm, steady routine.
- Month 2 About 8 hours/day Routines settle. Appointments, school or work start to fill back in, with sleep watched closely.
- Months 3–4 About 4 hours/day Fewer hours. We keep watching for early warning signs and share them with your psychiatrist the same day.
- Months 5–6 Visits a few times a week Visits a few times a month. You and your family know the plan.
An example only. Your plan and pace are set with your treatment team. See a month-by-month example plan.

what we won’t do
No therapy or diagnosis
Coaches don’t provide therapy or diagnose. Your psychiatrist and our in-house therapist do.No handling medication
We remind and log. Family, a pharmacy or a nurse fills and gives medication.
Who leads it
A director who leads the team, and your clinicians in charge
Our mental health program has its own director, with years of experience in serious mental illness, who hires, trains and supervises every coach. Kathryn’s team and Nancy Getter, LCSW, stand behind them.
How do families pay for it?
Private pay, with paperwork for HSA and FSA accounts. ABLE accounts and special needs trusts can sometimes pay too. For some plans, we can ask your insurer for a single case agreement. It’s a request, not a promise. Contact us to discuss prices. Paying for care
Who is it for?
Clients and their families. For clients under 18, parents sign the support agreement and stay part of the plan.
