Our primary goal is the recovery and maintenance of our patients’ health. We carefully interview all patients before entry into the program to develop a detailed history and understanding of their circumstances. Where appropriate, we review additional sources of case history such as: family members, other medical and mental health practitioners, and educators. We encourage patients and family members to set their own goals for treatment in addition to goals set by NeuroHealth clinical personnel.

After assessment and diagnosis, a program is designed to address the particular requirements of each patient. Ultimately, the goal of each treatment program is to successfully integrate each patient into employment, vocational, educational, family and community life. Other important treatment goals may include:

• Stabilization
• Development of successful coping skills and strategies
• Reduction or elimination of identified symptoms
• Long-term changes toward successful behaviors
• Reduction or elimination of the need for medication
• Development of skills that foster personal independence
• Development of responsible age-appropriate behavior
• Individual program goals identified by the patient, family and significant others
