TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
PeaceHealth staff’s goal is to treat each patient individually and holistically. Prior to enrollment, the center’s clinical team meets with each client to discuss their current situation and concerns as they relate to medical conditions, familial and social relationships, and cultural and religious background. Based on assessment findings, the clinical team works with the client to determine the most appropriate course of treatment, which typically includes individual, group, and family counseling, as well as educational components and medication management.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
According to PeaceHealth’s website, the center’s treatment team includes a licensed marriage and family therapist, a clinical social worker, a clinical pharmacist, and nurses.
