Containment groups allow clients to identify interfering behavior cycles that keep them from benefiting from therapy. Finally, the trauma group allows clients to share their individualized treatment gains and struggles with group and therapist support. An individual treatment program is developed with input from the client and referring professional. While under the direction of a psychiatrist, the treatment team operates within a truly linear system where all members are equal. Through this multi-disciplinary interaction, we bring numerous clinical perspectives to patient care.
Expressive therapies are essential and primary to the program.
Activities are structured specifically for trauma recovery patients, involving art, movement, psychodrama, music, occupational and recreational therapies. Individual therapy between the client and primary therapist is integral to the treatment process. This occurs five times per week and focuses on the client's trauma history. In addition, the attending psychiatrist has individual sessions with the client between one and three times per week. These sessions are dedicated to milieu interaction, discharge planning and the work being done with the primary therapist.
