Brain Injury Treatment
BRAIN INJURY TREATMENT PROGRAMS
Our treatment programs are provided by a team of accredited
health care professionals all with extensive professional
preparation and experience in the area of acquired brain
injury. In working together over the years, they have been
able to fine tune programs, in concert with the client and
their families, thus serving the client in highly innovative
ways. Although more traditional forms of treatment can be
provided as needed with our client population, the Plan B
treatment option seems to have become the treatment plan
method
of choice for most of our clients. This method has been
enthusiastically received by our clients, our clinicians and
our referral partners in the field.
The Plan B method incorporates flexibility and applicability
as its primary construct and begins with the fundamental
question: What can we do within a treatment focus which has
the highest likelihood of being of service to our client,
their family and loved ones?
Our experience has taught us that in order to be successful
in assisting our clients in regaining the life they desire,
interventions must be predictable, consistent, repetitive,
flexible and relevant. These interventions occur as well in
an environment with a common collaborative focus by all
concerned clients and professionals. Interactions in this
common focus immersion environment maximize the possibility
of learning relevant adaptive strategies which are practiced
and reinforced daily. In time, these strategies have
immediate and long-term applicability and have proven to be
vital in assisting our clients in regaining the life they
desire. We believe, our method of treatment with a plan B
focus, helps to make this happen for our clients. As a
consequence, varying treatment options are available.
CLINIC DAY TREATMENT OPTION
This option, more traditional in its focus, serves the
clients within Ottawa and surrounding districts. Clients
receive, as needed, alternative forms of ABI treatment
focused on their specific needs. All treatment sites are
available to the client as needed. Our tele-counselling
service is available within this treatment option.
PLAN B TREATMENT OPTIONS DAY-WEEK CYCLE OPTION
Clients from outside of Ottawa, often accompanied by family
members, come into our setting every week for a two to three
day treatment cycle. While here our clients stay overnight
at a local hotel near our facilities or in our residence.
The day-week cycle is repeated as needed within the
guidelines of the treatment plan. Our tele-counselling is an
integral part of this treatment option when the client
returns home.
WEEK-MONTH CYCLE OPTION
Clients, from outside of Ottawa, receive treatment for a
one, two, or three week treatment period per month. While in
Ottawa they stay at our residential facility. All treatment
sites become an integral part of the treatment program. The
week-month cycle is repeated as needed within the guidelines
of the treatment plan. When clients in this cycle are at
home, contact is maintained with therapists via telephone.
This contact facilitates the generalizability and
consolidation of the skills learned while accessing on site
treatment in Ottawa.
IMMERSION TREATMENT
Full time residential rehabilitation where all of the
clinical services and functional activity sites are
available to clients, as needed.
LONG TERM LIVING
Full time residential services, inclusive of clinical
therapies and functional activity sites are available to
clients requiring intensive treatment. Long term living is
available to those clients who no longer require the level
of support necessary in the acute recovery stage of their
rehabilitation, and for those who need support beyond what
they can receive at home. Long term living describes the
incorporation of a broad range of services available in a
caring community where clients and staff work together in
creating an environment where the special interests, talents
and needs of our clients and families are recognized and
validated. |
