Your Loved One Will Be Safe
When an individual has psychological problems, family members often feel helpless and frustrated. Families may have difficulty finding their loved one the right level of care. Hospitalization may be overwhelming or even traumatizing. Weekly psychotherapy may be insufficient. PCH Treatment Center offers a caring, immersive environment for an individual with mental illness in which to heal. We evaluate our Clients thoroughly, establishing the proper diagnosis and and the optimal medication regimen, minimizing medication usage as much as possible.
We teach our clients how to identify their symptoms and understand the nature of their problems, how to know when they need help, and how to minimize conflict with their family members and utilize them as valuable resources. We pride ourselves on the success of our treatment program, and the support structure we construct with thorough aftercare planning. At PCH Treatment Center, we believe that by helping each Client get back on their feet in our safe environment, we increase the resilience of family members and bring forth a successful long-term solution.
