Psychiatric Assessment

Psychiatric Assessment
Prior to admission at Psynergy Programs, a comprehensive screening is completed by one of our Senior Clinical Staff. Within 24 hours of admission, a complete evaluation of the client’s psychiatric, clinical and medical needs is initiated.  A client will meet with one of our staff psychiatrists usually the very next day who will recommend a course of treatment.

Psynergy values the importance of family involvement throughout the assessment process and strives to incorporate every aspect of the individual into our assessment so that we are prepared to meet the client’s needs.  The assessment process is consumer-driven and person-centered to discover an individual’s strengths and goals.

Once the initial assessment is complete, additional outside appointments are scheduled to meet the client’s primary and specialty care needs. To facilitate recovery and reduce symptoms, a client may be seen more frequently, but typically in the first 30 days, a client can expect to see one of our psychiatrists and clinicians weekly.  Overall, the assessment is ongoing. Weekly reviews of a client’s progress helps facilitate recovery and prevent relapse.
