During a typical 5- to 7-day stay in Southcoast’s inpatient program, patients will benefit from a number of different interventions delivered by our caring and experienced staff including a board-certified psychiatrist, licensed clinical social workers, registered nurses, recreational therapists, and mental health technicians. These interventions, included in each patient’s regular daily schedule, may include:
- Individual therapy sessions are conducted by our psychiatrist and social workers. These sessions are designed to be places where patients can come and process material from their group work and continue their personal growth process. Frequency of individual therapy is individualized for each patient.
- Family therapy sessions are conducted by staff social workers. Because we recognize and value the role family members can play in a patient’s recovery process, we provide individualized family therapy sessions for our patients to help address family-wide issues and to help family members provide the support that can be instrumental to each patient’s recovery and healing.
- Group therapy sessions are conducted by staff social workers, recreational therapists, registered nurses, or mental health technicians. Patients attend a minimum of five groups per day, including both process groups and didactic, or topic-based, groups.
- Patients who require medications are able to meet on a daily basis with our staff psychiatrist for medication management services. In addition to the staff psychiatrist, nursing staff is available to help patients with their medications.
