Inpatient Servces
|
| |
The Inpatient Program at The Center offers a highly structured 7 day a week treatment
schedule and 24-hour nursing care. It is designed to promote rapid stabilization of acute
symptoms often associated with posttraumatic disorders and related conditions.
Treatment is problem and skill based and follows individualized assessment
and treatment planning.
|
| |
Outpatient Ambulatory Services
|
| |
Outpatient services at two levels of intensity are offered through The DAY Center:
The Partial Hospitalization Program serves patients in need of an intensive
structured environment in which to address acute symptoms. It provides an
alternative to inpatient hospitalization and can shorten the length of an
inpatient stay. Patients attend three or more full days per week and receive
medical and medication monitoring in addition to individual case management.
The daily schedule is composed of three carefully sequenced groups that focus
on the development of essential coping skills. Individualized treatment plans
are used to support increased levels of functioning in daily life. Communication with outpatient
providers is ongoing to promote coordination of patient care.
The Intensive Outpatient and Structured Outpatient Programs offer wide
flexibility for those patients who do not require either inpatient or partial hospitalization levels of
care, but who are in need of more highly structured and intensive interventions than can be offered in
conventional outpatient settings. Customized treatment schedules are planned to address the patient's
individual needs. Medical and medication consultation are available as needed.
