Residential Program
The most comprehensive, structured, and intensive element of The
Renfrew Center's treatment is the Residential
Program offered at our centers in Philadelphia and Coconut
Creek (near Boca Raton), Florida. Residential treatment is designed
to help women who are struggling with acute psychological distress
alleviate their symptoms and address the underlying issues that
contributed to their admission. Individualized treatment goals integrating
psychological, psychiatric, and medical perspectives are developed
in collaboration with a multidisciplinary treatment team and referring
professionals. Experienced medical care is available 24 hours a
day.
An Intensive & Comprehensive Program
The Renfrew Center's Residential Program creates a community of
adolescents, women, and supportive professionals. Each resident
is encouraged to openly discuss her symptoms, struggles, and successes
in community meetings, therapeutic groups and informal social interactions.
As a result, women develop new relationships based on mutual sharing
and support. The Renfrew community decreases the shame, secrecy,
and isolation that so often perpetuate symptoms and aims to inspire
a renewed sense of strength and determination in our residents.
Residential treatment at Renfrew takes place seven days a week
and provides an intensive and comprehensive program of individual,
group, and family therapy. Each woman is helped to understand her
physical and psychological needs in order to facilitate her active
participation in the recovery process. Psychotherapy groups focus
on topics such as assertiveness, family patterns, sexuality, symptom
management, and relaxation to help participants develop insights
and enhance their adaptive coping skills. Through creative and experiential
groups, residents are able to express their thoughts and feelings
and confront underlying issues. Family therapy is also an integral
part of residential treatment.
Special Residential Tracks & Adolescent Programs
In addition to the multidisciplinary treatment that is a part of
every woman's care, Renfrew has developed special residential tracks
to address the specific needs of women suffering from compulsive
eating, trauma, or substance abuse disorders. Renfrew has also developed
a program to address the special needs of adolescents.
Residential treatment is a brief, intense part of a woman's ongoing
effort to build and maintain a satisfying and productive life. The
Renfrew Center places great importance on the continuum of care
and on facilitating a smooth transition to a less intensive level
of care. Aftercare planning, including collaboration with referring
therapists or facilities, begins at admission and continues throughout
treatment to maximize the benefits of The Renfrew Center's program
and facilitate ongoing and long-lasting recovery.
