ABOUT US

Declarations, Inc. specializes in the recovery and rehabilitation of individuals who have a psychiatric illness along with other co-occurring disorders such as intellectual/developmental disabilities, substance use disorders, and advanced medical service needs. The effects of co-occurring disorders create many barriers for our consumers. Declarations’ objective is to assist them in overcoming these challenges. Our innovative training methods are designed to empower each individual to develop self-reliance and personal dignity.

As many as half of the population who have mental health issues also experiences some co-occurring disorders; there is a need to understand the unique impacts that multiple disorders have on the individual. While many of these individuals are receiving some form of treatment or support services, these services often focus on only one of the disorders while ignoring all other needs.

Declarations, Inc. was founded specifically to provide services to this underserved and often misunderstood population. As the recognized leader in services to the dually diagnosed, we will continue to design and develop programs and service models that best meet the unique needs of each individual consumer.

Success Stories

Declarations, Inc. has experience and expertise in creating specific training aids and techniques required to help an individual with a dual-diagnosis master a skill or task at his or her own pace and within their most comfortable learning style.

Services

Our services are designed with input from our consumers and their families. Through rehabilitation planning, life skills training, and community integration, Declarations is driven to encourage each individual to reach his or her highest level of independence and to realize his or her best quality of life.

Life Coaching Model

Developed by Dr. James Marhold, the nationally-recognized Life Coaching Model is based upon the philosophy that the path to successful rehabilitation and wellness is built upon a person’s own internal motivation and strengths.

The Life Coaching Model strives to promote the concept that behavioral healthcare services should be less about case management and more about the facilitation of self-help and defined personal goals.

Dr. Marhold’s Life Coaching Model was recognized as a finalist in 2012 for the National Eli Lilly Reintegration Award.
