Drew Edmund Psychiatric Centers brings together high level professionals that provide uniquely advanced, cutting edge treatment approaches. We strive to find the optimum combination of treatment modalities with the lowest level of medications needed for stability. Drew Edmund Psychiatric Centers specializes in psychosis and the various forms of schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder. We are also experts in treating PTSD as well as anxiety and depression. We use highly rated psychiatrists with experience in treating serious mental health issues combined with the expertise of a psychopharmacologist. This combination ensures the patient is receiving the optimal dose of the most effective medication that is unique to them. This eliminates the problem of over-medicating or the patient being left on an ineffective starter dose. Drew Edmund Psychiatric Centers is very unique in that we encourage family participation throughout the treatment process, with the permission of the patient. This includes family therapy which helps with reintegration.
Drew Edmund Psychiatric Centers understands the importance of an holistic approach to treatment. Although group therapy and individual Psychotherapy are at the core of how we treat patients, we also offer activities that focus on a healthy emotional and mental state such as equine therapy, art therapy, kayaking, sculpting class, swimming and yoga classes.
In addition, assistance is provided in short term and long term goal setting with emphasis on realistic expectations of the patients’ desires and abilities. This often includes returning to educational pursuits or job training. We provide assistance with resume creation and the interviewing process. Discharge planning is an important part of the treatment process as well. We introduce realistic options with family involvement where appropriate.
