Recovery Model
Skyland Trail’s client-centric clinical approach begins by identifying personal recovery goals. We assist the client in this process, developing an individualized recovery plan that includes medication, therapy, physical health, nutrition, socialization, readiness for employment or returning to school, spirituality, leisure activities and cultivation of healthy relationships with family and friends.
Each client works with a primary counselor who coordinates treatment based on the recovery plan. The client's daily schedule includes participation in a variety of groups focused on therapy, education, expressive arts, nutrition, exercise and physical health. Every recovery plan initially includes a weekly appointment with a psychiatrist on our medical staff. As the client progresses toward increased independence, frequency of psychiatric sessions may change.
Our model views recovery as a continuum and anticipates that episodes of regression may occur. Even as the client makes progress and becomes more independent, we continue to provide support for coping with challenges.
Skyland Trail practices open communications with clients and families. During admissions and throughout treatment, we encourage questions about the clinical process, programs, costs, expectations or other topics that come to mind. We strive to answer all questions fully and promptly.
