12 week programme
At Riverdale Grange we believe that treatment should be as short term as possible. This is why we offer a 12 week structured focused programme. Clinical objectives will aim to address the precipitating factors leading to the onset of the condition, create an understanding of a balanced healthy eating regime consolidated by a maintenance programme. If it is felt that more time in treatment is needed then the 12 weeks can be extended following a multi- disciplinary review meeting. All treatment plans are tailor-made to suit the individual and can include a variety of the following therapy styles:-
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapist
- Art Therapy
- Complementary Therapy
- Family Therapy
Outpatient/Daypatient
Owing to relationship or work commitments it maybe difficult to commit to a 12-week inpatient programme, or it could be that your needs could be managed as a day or outpatient. The day patient programme is the same as the inpatient programme only you don't reside at the clinic and can attend for any amount of time during the week as agreed by the team.
The Consultant psychiatrists and all the therapists attached to Riverdale Grange hold weekly outpatient clinic's which can be attended for weekly guidance and monitoring. Such an arrangement can act as an in-between step towards considering full time treatment, or as part of a monitoring discharge programme.
During all phases of treatment the team at Riverdale will continually liaise with the referring agents by offering 4 weekly reports with statistical breakdowns and regular multi disciplinary reviews in line with the C.P.A. process. It is our belief that continuous liaising assists in the discharge process as recognised in best practice documentation.
