Several states are reporting cases of measles, a highly contagious viral disease. Both children and adults can get measles. Before going to a clinic or emergency room, it’s important to check with your doctor if you think you or a loved one has measles.
The Pain Treatment Program in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences offers comprehensive evaluation, treatment planning, and care for patients with chronic, disabling pain that requires intensive rehabilitation.
Patients with chronic pain often become disabled in the pursuit of gaining relief from their pain. Our philosophy of pain treatment is based on our experience that patients suffer more when their functioning and quality of life are impaired.
Our goal is to increase the functional ability of each patient to the highest possible level.
Our approach recognizes the fundamental differences in the individual pathways that patients have taken to their unique profile of disabilities. The program’s comprehensive approach organizes care with an individualized formulation that targets specific diseases, personal vulnerabilities, dysfunctional behaviors, and meaningful life events.
Treatment plans are designed to fix the pathology of diseases, enhance personal abilities, teach healthy behaviors, and instill a sense of hope for a successful future.
We are committed to your wellness after discharge, as well, and work directly with you to establish appropriate care appointments and follow-ups as needed or provide your existing providers with necessary details about your Meyer 6 hospitalization.
