Treatment Approach
Rivendell utilizes a medical model for patient
treatment utilizing a multidisciplinary approach in
terms of screening, evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and
discharge planning. Professionals providing care as part
of the multidisciplinary team includes the psychiatrist,
psychologist, nurse, dietician, social worker,
counselor, recreation therapist, special education
teacher, mental health associate, and case manager.
Family
Involvement
Family involvement is a vital component of treatment
whether the person seeking treatment is an adult or
youth, at Rivendell we care for the entire family.
Family members are encouraged to express their opinions
and feelings through individual, family and group
settings. Our programs work to educate the family
regarding the dynamics of the illness; establish a
framework for resolving frustrations and conflicts which
have developed; and teach the skills necessary to build
healthy channels of communication. |
