Psychiatric Education, Kaufman Bldg, Rm.
Day treatment is a unique and emerging field in psyhiatry.
In this setting, intensive interventions may be undertaken, with close monitoring of the patient's condition and adjustment of treatment in a more realistic time frame in terms of what we currently know about the course of psychiatric disclosures and the recovery process. Patients spend evenings and weekends at home, have an opportunity for leisure and social activities, and can plan for serious vocational preparation and rehabilitation within the context of the program. Patients are assigned to these programs on the basis of their clinical needs and can move back and forth appropriately among them as their treatment progresses. All rights reserved.
