The Meadows Hospital
ADULT TREATMENT PROGRAM
The
Adult Services Program provides comprehensive mental health treatment in an
interactive manner. The goal of the program is to stabilize acute symptoms and
enhance individual strengths and coping skills. Patients are actively engaged in
treatment through therapeutic and educational groups and individual interactions
with clinical staff. A supportive, therapeutic environment is provided to assist
patients in dealing with stressors and returning to the community. The Adult
Program offers the capability to assess, educate and refer individuals who also
have chemical abuse or dependency issues to providers.
