Discharge Planning begins on Day 1. By preparing for discharge early on, we are able to document the patient’s progress, note any issues or concerns that arise during treatment, and identify the professional referrals and community-based resources that will best support continued recovery.

That being said, it is important to know that treatment at Crestwyn is based on medical necessity and is tailored to meet each patient’s needs. During the patient’s time in our care, they will work with the members of the treatment team in order to reach the patient’s personal goals. The length of stay will be determined by the progress towards achieving those goals. All decisions, including our recommendations for time in treatment, will be based upon what is best according to the patient’s specific needs.

Throughout the patient’s stay:

• Patient’s family will receive a call to go over the Follow Up Treatment Plan—Continued Treatment after stay is imperative to Patient Success
• In most cases, upon discharge, patients receive a prescription for medications, an appointment with an outpatient therapist, Psychiatrist and desired Primary Care Provider at the patients request
