The Aftercare Approach

Welcome to the Aftercare Doctors services page.
This is where we overview our unique treatment service, with enough detail to inform you, but hopefully without overwhelming you. Medical processes get complicated very quickly, so we think it is important to put a little time into previewing what you can expect, and hopefully answering many of your questions before you get started with us.
We have built some major foundations for how we treat post-rehab recovery. Getting an understanding of them will help you see why we require the things that we do in the course of your treatment.
First, we monitor YOU-- closely, constantly, using many different tools, from in-office visits, to assigned caregivers, to technology based monitoring. It's essential that we get a reliable, detailed sense of how you are so that we can know the best adjustments to make in your treatment. We don't just wait for a once-every-few months check-in, or until you are in crisis or spiraling -- we want information about you so that we can head off major problems that we can see coming because we monitor how you are doing, in real time.
Second, we take a dual-treatment approach with our clients. We treat brain trauma by diagnosing and prescribing highly appropriate meds. and we pair this with highly appropriate behavioral therapies. This means you are getting the right meds for your particular neurology and mood, and the right activities to help you deal with the challenges and realities of your continuing recovery. We firmly believe that these two foundational tools -- the pairing of brain treatment and behavioral work, or what we sometimes call "behavioral neurology· -- are the answer to helping you stay on course. avoid relapse, and live your life not in constant misery, but feeling the way you can and should feel. given the power of modern meds and behavior applied in the correct ways.

As with any treatment, your recovery is a combination of what we can do for you, and what you have to do on your side. So you can get a clearer idea of what you'll receive, and what you'll need to do, let's preview a bit about the details of what we'll do in your introductory sessions.
