Give yourself permission
Slow down and take the first step toward focusing on yourself. When you find the courage, we will be there to meet you exactly where you are with a private mental health care treatment plan designed around your unique needs.
Comprehensive assessment
Throughout your first week, we conduct a comprehensive assessment that becomes the basis of a personalized treatment plan that, along with input from your family members where appropriate, guides your inpatient stay with us. As part of this assessment, we also conduct pharmacogenetic testing. Pharmacogenetic testing is a precision technology that examines a person’s genetic information to understand how they will respond to certain medicines, which may help guide future prescriptions, where appropriate.
Specialized treatment
The Residence is at the forefront of treatment innovation in private mental health care and addiction recovery. Working closely with the Homewood Research Institute, we apply evidence-based approaches tailored to your situation and treatment goals. We treat conditions including trauma disorders, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, addictive disorders, and concurrent disorders. Our experts are also skilled at treating multiple co-occurring and complex mental illnesses and offer interventional psychiatry services where appropriate. Learn more about what we treat, or talk to our intake concierge to discuss your unique treatment needs.
What is Family Involvement?
Family involvement encompasses the active participation of your family members — whether relatives or other chosen supports — in the care process. At The Residence at Homewood, we value the important role that families play in your recovery and well-being. Our comprehensive approach to family involvement ensures that loved ones are integrated into the care process if desired, enhancing support and contributing to positive mental health outcomes. Research shows that involving family members into care can lead to improved treatment outcomes, reduced rates of rehospitalization and relapse, and enhanced commitment to treatment plans. Our procedures are aligned with best practices, ensuring that families are active partners in the care process.
Family Involvement at The Residence
Consent and Information Sharing: Consent for family involvement is obtained through detailed forms, and an initial interview focused on exploring your choice of who you would like to be involved, when you would like them to be involved and how they will be involved. Families are also invited to provide collateral information. A healthcare professional can also offer an overview and orient the family to the program.
Communication Access: You will be assigned a healthcare professional as your designated contact person for consistent communication and updates. Families will also be provided with the contact information for our 24/7 nursing station.
Family Meetings and Regular Updates: The Residence offers diverse opportunities for families to get involved, such as family meetings and collateral information gathering. This communication process fosters a sense of collaboration between healthcare professionals and loved ones, ultimately contributing to more personalised and effective care.
By integrating family into every stage of care, The Residence aims to create a supportive and collaborative environment that enhances your quality of life and recovery outcomes.
Recovery management
After you complete inpatient treatment, we support your long-term wellness with a Recovery Management Program that provides comprehensive supports to maintain and enhance quality of life in long-term recovery.
This program is designed to increase your self-efficacy and help you effectively manage your home life, work life, social life, and any other transitions while recovering from addiction and mental health issues.
