The rehabilitation department in this setting is a valuable part of the interdisciplinary treatment team that attends rounds and develops objectives and treatment goals for each individual patient.  Standardized assessments are available with a physician’s order.  Mental health therapist and staff utilize clinics, a gym with a workout area, a game room and a variety of patios to provide services.  Patients are seen at least two times a day, five days a week and one treatment opportunity on the weekends.

Patients are referred to Rehab services by their attending physician with patients highly encouraged to participate in their assigned programming in order to facilitate the continuity of care and assist in the aftercare process.
