A residential treatment setting is usually the preferred option for patients discharging from a hospital setting.
Why is residential treatment a preferred method of treatment for individuals suffering from a mental health issue? Because the process goes much faster in a residential setting where the patient feels safe and accepted. It is in Drew Edmund Psychiatric Center’s best interest to select the very best psychiatrists and clinicians to have on staff. The patient then benefits from those clinicians as they could never assemble such a quality team on their own.
Drew Edmund Psychiatric Centers uses a broad area to search out and find the best in their field. We use psychiatrists and psychopharmocologists to ensure the patient is on the appropriate medication for them and on the correct dose. This eliminates untimely searching for the “right medication” and appropriate dose which often occurs in a community setting. In addition, Drew Edmund Psychiatric Centers has trained and experienced staff to observe the patient and report any changes or side effects that the patient might not notice on their own. Lastly, A residential setting allows us to work on other skills the patient may need help with such as activities of daily living, money management , community access as well as educational or career goals.
