A comprehensive collection of 32 diagnostic, psycho-educational, and motivation-enhancing clinical exercises. These exercises, as elements of individual and group treatment plans, have the ability to improve every element of the therapeutic environment.
1) Improved Recovery Rates-Measurable evidence of client progress and recovery.
2) Improved Retention Rates-Proven increase in the ratio of intakes to successful completion and attainment of treatment goals.
3) Improved Client Satisfaction-Measurable increase in client self-reports of the benefits of treatment.
4) Improved Utilization Review-Diagnostic tools, detailed treatment plans, and client notes facilitate the approval and payment for treatment days.
5) Superior Charting in less time-Detailed treatment plans, group and individual notes based upon written client self-reports facilitate the creation of comprehensive and relevant chart notes.
6) Improved Staff Satisfaction-Reduced charting time and clear criteria create greater job satisfaction for mental health professionals.
7) Increased Professional Referrals-Discharge Planners are increasingly likely to refer clients where the receiving facility can clearly demonstrate evidence-based and clinically effective treatment.
MARKETING We can assert to our prospective clients and our referral sources that we can provide evidence-based, planned and comprehensive treatment curriculum. As a result, current and future intakes and referrals benefit.
CLIENT FRIENDLY The exercises contained in the curriculum have been designed over hundreds of clinical hours to become exercises which clients will actually complete. This is because they are brief, simple, and are stimulating to the client.
UTILIZATION REVIEW Our exercises are diagnostic. The questions put forth are taken directly from the DSM-5 and other treatment plans as elements of presenting disorders. This enables the clinician to provide diagnosis and treatment goals which are directly related to client self-reports and declarations.
TREATMENT PLANNING The components become specific and essential elements of individualized and comprehensive treatment plans. These treatment plans and exercises directly and comprehensively address the myriad components of substance and co-occurring disorders.
CHARTING Sample clinical notes for both individual and group notes are provided which, when edited, assist the clinician in creating detailed, relevant, and specific charting for individual and group interventions.
AUDITS With clearly planned interventions, complete and detailed charts, both regulatory and billing audits are easier, faster, and with improved compliance.
RETENTION AND RECOVERY With the benefit of a comprehensive treatment plan, we are more thorough with both diagnosis and treatment. A comprehensive curriculum reduces the likelihood that a client exits or relapses as the result of a treatment oversight.
CLIENT SATISFACTION Client tracking proves that clients recognize the efficacy, preparation, and thorough nature of a planned and detailed clinical treatment.
