Conifer Park Psychiatric Services

At Conifer Park, we understand the intricate relationship between mental health and substance abuse. Our Co-Occurring/Psychiatric Services are meticulously designed to cater to individuals with dual diagnoses, offering an integrated approach that ensures comprehensive care for both mental health and addiction at our drug rehab clinic. By combining mental health treatment with substance abuse recovery, we provide a holistic path toward lasting wellness.

Understanding the Connection

Substance abuse and mental illness often coexist, creating a complex web of symptoms and challenges that require a nuanced approach to treatment. Recognizing the significant impact of this relationship on treatment outcomes, Conifer Park is dedicated to simultaneously addressing both aspects. While we do not offer distinct or separate units for individuals with mental health conditions, we embed mental health care within our substance abuse recovery programs. This integration allows us to address the full spectrum of our patients' needs.

Personalized Care with a Multi-Disciplinary Team

Every patient at Conifer Park is assigned a case manager and a multi-disciplinary team of healthcare professionals. This team-based approach ensures that each individual receives personalized care tailored to their unique circumstances. The team includes psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, therapists, and other specialists collaborating to develop and implement a comprehensive treatment plan.

Key Services Offered

To support our patients on their journey to recovery, we offer a range of essential services:

• Mental and Physical Health Consultation: Regular consultations with healthcare professionals ensure that both mental and physical health concerns are identified and treated. This holistic approach promotes overall well-being.
• On-Site Psychiatrist or Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner: Prescribing psychiatric professionals on-site allows for timely adjustments to treatment plans and medications, ensuring patients receive the most effective care.
• Medication and Medication Monitoring: Proper medication management is crucial for individuals with co-occurring disorders. We provide ongoing monitoring and adjustments to medications to maximize their effectiveness and minimize side effects.
