Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Treatment

Walden Behavioral Care is one of the few psychiatric hospitals in the country to open during the current decade, offering both inpatient care and partial hospitalization for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. The Walden post-traumatic stress disorder treatment staff includes experienced professionals representing each of the primary mental health disciplines - psychiatry, psychology, nursing and social work - as well as professionals who focus on internal medicine, nutrition, recreation and other aspects of wellness.

Walden staff does everything possible to engage both the patients undergoing post-traumatic stress disorder treatment and their families to achieve lasting results.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Treatment: Levels of Care

A knowledgeable, involved approach to crisis intervention and management helps post-traumatic stress disorder treatment patients and their families handle crises in a way that promotes healing and growth. Compassion and respect of patients undergoing treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder are standards throughout the program. We provide an environment that gives patients plenty of privacy, and helps them feel comfortable and safe during post-traumatic stress disorder treatment.

Walden's Inpatient Psychiatric Program provides comprehensive post-traumatic stress disorder treatment. Several managed-healthcare plans use Walden as a regional post-traumatic stress disorder treatment facility for patients with acute psychiatric distress.

Walden's Partial Hospitalization Program provides a bridge between inpatient care and independent living, so that patients undergoing post-traumatic stress disorder treatment can better make the transition to outpatient services. Staff assist post-traumatic stress disorder treatment patients in maintaining their prescribed therapy and help them make the lifestyle changes they need to make to live independently.

The post-traumatic stress disorder treatment program includes:

• Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation
• Evaluations of alcohol and drug dependency
• Individual, family and group psychotherapy
• Psychopharmacological evaluations
• Occupational therapy
• Specialized programs for addicted patients with co-existing psychiatric and medical disorders
• Individualized after-care and follow-up services with links to the community
• Nutrition evaluations and interventions
• Case management

Inpatient Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Treatment

Patients undergoing post-traumatic stress disorder treatment at Walden's inpatient Thoreau Center receive comprehensive psychiatric and psychological evaluations. Treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder at Walden also includes 24-hour nursing care and ongoing medical, behavioral and nutrition therapy.

Post-traumatic stress disorder treatment patients participate in a wide variety of individual, group and family counseling programs. Group programs provide an opportunity for patients to learn about themselves by hearing from other patients undergoing post-traumatic stress disorder treatment. They gain new skills, provide and receive support, and learn about post-traumatic stress disorder and the available post-traumatic stress disorder treatments.

The inpatient post-traumatic stress disorder treatment program operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and serves patients 16 or older with severe psychiatric symptoms. The goals of patient hospitalization for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder are to:

• Establish basic emotional and cognitive stability
• Develop and implement a comprehensive treatment plan, including medication, therapy and nutrition.
• Begin developing an Individual Recovery Plan (IRP) that identifies specific goals, life changes and effective methods for achieving those goals.

Partial Hospitalization For Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Treatment

Post-traumatic stress disorder treatment patients attend the partial hospital program based on a schedule they develop with their primary therapist. Partial hospital treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder is designed to provide ongoing support to individuals, so that they do not require hospital care.

The partial hospitalization staff assists post-traumatic stress disorder treatment patients in maintaining their therapeutic regime. The staff helps them make the lifestyle changes they need to live independently and achieve full recovery following their treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. The goals of partial hospitalization's treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder are to:

• Increase emotional and cognitive stability
• Identify contributing factors of current distress and initiate changes to alleviate distress
• Develop and implement an Individual Recovery Plan (IRP) that identifies specific goals, life changes and effective methods for achieving those goals.
