The Center's professional team combines years of expertise in mental health assessment, diagnosis, and treatment with specialized training in posttraumatic disorders and related syndromes. Ongoing communication and partnership with referral sources insures continuity of care for each patient. The Center programs are organized around key therapeutic activities scaled to each patient's level of acuity in both the inpatient and outpatient ambulatory settings. 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.
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 encourage maximal levels of functioning away from the treatment setting and are designed to expedite transition to less intensive levels of treatment. Communication with outpatient providers is ongoing to promote coordination of patient care.
