Case Management
From the moment I begin working with families, I begin case management.
Case management involves researching, assessing, vetting and securing appropriate treatment options based on the individual needs of the person seeking help. I consider the whole person and the circumstances of the family when helping determine what type and level of care may be appropriate.
Treatment options may include
- Residential treatment
- Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)
- Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)
The appropriate path is determined with care and may be based on:
- Age and gender
- Mental health and/or addiction symptoms
- Individual clinical, physical, emotional and holistic needs
- Financial considerations
- Geographic considerations
Coordinating the Path Through Treatment
Once a person enters treatment, I work with the treatment facility and the family to begin planning for what comes next.
The goal is to create as seamless a transition as possible from treatment back home, into family life, work and continuing recovery. Depending on the individual's needs, the next level of care may include PHP, IOP, recovery meetings, sober communities or other appropriate recovery supports.
Planning ahead allows the individual and family to be better prepared for the transition rather than waiting until treatment is ending to begin figuring out what comes next.
Navigating the Practical Details
The practical details of treatment and recovery can feel overwhelming, especially when a family is already dealing with the emotional impact of addiction or mental health challenges.
My role is to help bring the pieces together, so that individuals and families can focus their energy on healing and moving forward.
