Psychiatric and Medication Management

Philosophy

There has been a shift in health care delivery from traditional inpatient hospital-based approaches to a range of residential and community-based delivery systems for the treatment of mental illnesses. This shift has fostered a greater emphasis on rehabilitative approaches that promote patient education and skill development designed for improved self-care. With these newer approaches to health care, patients can learn and practice self-care skills, including safe self-management of their medication, setting goals for treatment, and seeking care for any medical problems as they arise. Our conceptual framework is based on wholeness. We describe the person as body, soul, and spirit and supply diverse care that addresses all of these areas. We believe that each dimension adds a level of healing.
