Overview
Confluence Behavioral Health provides a full continuum of behavioral health care for young adults in Vermont, including residential treatment, transitional living, and intensive outpatient services. Care combines clinical services (psychiatric evaluations, medication management, neuropsychological assessments) with coaching on executive functioning, life skills, and wellness, delivered across a Thetford Center residential program and Burlington-based programs. Treatments use evidence-based models such as CBT, ACT, and DBT, and are supported by insurance or private-pay options. The independently owned, founder-led organization emphasizes seamless care, strong family involvement, and accreditation by The Joint Commission and Vermont licensing, with the goal of helping emerging adults achieve stability and transition to independent adulthood.
